17th July 2006

This is saddening news indeed, especially in the wake of the previous tsunami which still has citizens of affected regions reeling from the effects. This would definitely affect tourism and the economy, and it being the second tsunami that Indonesia has suffered, it is a double whammy.

So far the death toll stands at 37, yet this is a pending value as witnesses have stated seeing bodies all around. What is more, two inmates from a prison are missing, two militants on death row for the Bali bombings. This is very depressing. Not only are many dead, but two are possibly free who can cause more death.
