Tsunami 2009?!

UPDATE : I’ve managed to find the person whom predicted this. This is predicted by software developer – here.

I felt the urgency to pass on this message. I can’t be sure if this is true or just some people who tried to pull a prank for April Fool days back. I’m still doing some research on google. But please, don’t stop here, read on.

Do you remember the date 26th December 2004? The day which caught many people in shock, horror. The day which haunts people, and for some, it could be the day that haunt them forever.

The earthquake that generated the great Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 is estimated to have released the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Giant forces that had been building up deep in the Earth for hundreds of years were released suddenly on December 26, shaking the ground violently and unleashing a series of killer waves that sped across the Indian Ocean at the speed of a jet airliner.

By the end of the day more than 150,000 people were dead or missing and millions more were homeless in 11 countries, making it perhaps the most destructive tsunami in history. …… more here. Information taken from National Geographic.

I found this on Youtube. My eyes were wide open, my brain freezes and went blank, never want to blink  even a nano-second when was watching this, it’s one of the must-watch. For those who died in this tragic, R.I.P.

Watching the waves so high, sea water gushing in like there’s no tomorrow, people running for their life, trying to grab hold of something, people offering a helping hand, people covered by the wavesand went missing into the sea… the feeling is just so indescribable. The song really did match the video well. The guy whom combined this deserves the credit for it. I then started click on the links and getting absorbed into tsunami topic, it has videos of strange fishes washed up by the shore later after the tsunami.

Wow, I can really go on and on about this.

Back to the main topic. Today, to my horror, I received a forwarded mail which I believe it’s just been circulated on the internet a few days(coz I dun find many search results about this forecasting/warning).

Read this:”

Hi,
tsunami-09

I just received this message from a colleague. I don’t know the source of the message; I also don’t know the credibility of the content, but just beware.

Below is the content on the message:

“Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit. Please try and stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry. Please pass the word around. Please also pray for all beings.”

I was like… WTH!!! I just bought my Bali tickets about 3 weeks back! DAMN! I wonder how true is it, in my heart I’m trying to ignore the message I just got today. But I can’t when I recalled seeing the news years back. People been more aware, talking, been helping, about Tsunami ever since the Tsunami 04 incident which was caused by the undersea earthquake.

Though my air tickets are super duper cheap with only RM190 to and fro to Bali with Air Asia (are you thinking what I’m thinking, really worth it right?), some part of me really feel like going. My colleagues and I were so excited weeks back and kinda started planning where to stay an what to do in Bali. I have been whining about my cancelled All Inclusive Package to Phuket for years (though it’s fully sponsored, but I din get to go!) due to there were some Bombing case in border of Thailand. I know Phuket and the border of bombing is far apart, many of you would have thought that it should be fine but we didn’t want to take the risk.

But think again, if, I MEAN IF I go to Bali this July, and tsunami did occurred(TOUCH WOOD!) , and something bad happened to me(I dun wanna elaborate further on what might happen, but TOUCH WOOD AGAIN!) but I did survive, then RM190 flight ticket really doesn’t worth, really doesn’t worth take this risk. Come to think of it, I’d really rather die. But then again, if I die, will anyone take care of my beloved Soukei Terrier? Jeez, I’m getting too far off now. But then, back to the topic, I found some one posted this story on iReport for CNN. It is mentioned that the tectonic plates would slowly start shifting in March 2009 causing an earthquake related tsunami around July. The plates will continue to shift through the third quarter and cause another earthquake cum tsunami about October 2009. Posted by the bodhitree, a member of iReport. This information enough to the chill down my spine when think of what could be the damages. I think I’m getting paranoia now.

So, if any of you happen to know more about this, please do alert the rest and also let me know as well. If you happen to know that this is just some fake information, let me know too please. You wouldn’t know how much I’d appreciate that. Thanks =)

    Hi,

    FYI, this is a prediction made by a spritual group, many of whom had received messages about the oncoming tsunami. No, it’s definitely not a hoax. & I believe that they’re sincere about this..I know thebodhitree rather well, in fact;-)

    btw, in addition to my earlier response, i was in acheh, kedah and penang to help out during the last hit. it was an experience no one will want to go through again – especially in acheh. it was devastating. i can’t even begin to imagine what it must’ve been like during the hit as all i saw was an empty land strewn with personal items in what was once a suburb. i thank God that we are lucky enough to be alive now. good luck to you and your friends. i’d have to round up mine for a discussion on our near-future travel plans!

    looks like yes. but its better to be precautious than taking a chance, ths could be a rumor, but its worth to follow. it does not cost anything for precaution.

  11. admin says:

    MSIE 7.0 Windows Vista

    Yeah true… But we’re booking the hotels soon too. If anything happens around that time before we go, then most likely won’t be going.

    hi again. sorry for the late reply. to andwer your q, we’re scheduled to leave 1st week of july. never mind the fact that it’s still quite a way aways from july 22nd but am still being cautious about it. haven’t cancelled our bookings though. it’s still nagging at the back of my mind and have gone from being practical to ridiculous – sleep with snorkels on! argh…..

  15. tess says:

    Chrome 2.0.172.31 Windows XP

    to all, tsunami prediction is not a prank/hoax….it’s real, maybe it didn’t happen last July 22, 2009 but take it as a warning for everybody…Not all predictions happens on the exact date, sometimes it’s advance or delayed…one thing for sure, before year 2009 ends several countries will suffer from natural disasters that will kill many people, destroy many properties….it already started with flood in Philippines, tsunami in American Samoa, earthquake in Indonesia and it has been predicted that this month October 2009 there will be tsunami in Philippines….we don’t know which is the next country who’ll face this kind of disasters….

    Natural Disasters like tsunami, earthquakes, storms are natures revenge to people for continuously destructing the nature, it’s a wake up call for everyobdy to change to become a better person…

  20. admin says:

    agree. It’s an angry earth now. Really couldn’t predict what would really happen. It’s like it’s going haywire…. =\
