Thank you, you are right , although earthquake is diffcult to forecast, but certain signs are very remindful! I remeber that when I was young, we were taught on how to identify those pre-quake signs, most animals, dogs, goats, sheeps, even fish in the pond can behave abberantly! But to locate the exact earth quake epicentre is difficult!
Those abnormal migration of toads in Shichuan should have been used as warning sign definitely!
China still has Bureacratic problems! And need to reform!
Maybe Bureacracy has helped the earthquake on killing so many civilians, our fellow Chinese!
副總統切尼做了些什麼呢?30號和31號,他兩次打電話給南方松樹電網公司(Southern Pines Electric Power Association ),要求他們轉為搶修密西西比州科林斯附近的電站。為什麼呢?因為這個電站是為 Colonial Pipeline輸油管服務的。這條輸油管負責從得克薩斯向美國東北部運送油品。
白宮的救援指揮部在颶風襲擊的36小時后成立,並且決定「在第二天開展工作」。
8 月30號,新奧爾良開始發生大範圍的武裝搶劫和放火行為。當一名遊客向警方求助的時候,得到的答覆是「你去死吧!現在都是各顧各了。」(Go to hell, it's every man for himself)。8月31號,1500名警察接到命令,放棄搜索倖存者,改為執行維護治安的任務。同時全程宣布宵禁。同日,女州長凱瑟琳-布蘭科聲稱武裝部隊已經進入新奧爾良,並在電視上威脅說「他們對開槍和殺人很在行的。。。如果需要的話他們會的。。。」。至9月1號,已有6500名國民警衛隊奉命趕到新奧爾良。9月2號,州長要求增派4萬名國民警衛隊參與救援和維護治安。最不可思議的是有人向救援的直升飛機和車隊開槍射擊。
