Impressive! Cast-iron balls or titanium-alloy? I sail a bit, crew on a few boats in the SF Bay. Wouldn't want to be even 200 miles away from that stuff. More like 2000.

"A friend was anchored in Phuket harbor on his sailboat and road out the tsunami and watched it go ashore. No damage or injury on the boat."

Some people were lucky, but the scale of this disaster is almost beyond imagination...the exepcted death toll is now in excess of 30,000 people.

The number of people killed in the Asian tsunami disaster climbed relentlessly last night, with at least 25,000 dead, including 15 Britons.
