Thread Name: BS: earthquake, related tsunami bring death
Subject: 60,000+ Tsunami deaths
I also noticed (early yesterday) that between the Sky news bulletins the commercial for P&O cruises slogan: "It's a world out there" panning away to show ship in middle of ocean) seems to have been pulled.

Death toll approaching 60,000 ... terrible scenes on TV .. and so many children seem to have been victims because they couldn't run away fast enough, nor strong enough to survive in the torrential waters .. at one resort apparently, when the sea receded (a classic indication of an approaching tsunami) many children went down onto the beach to pick up the exposed shells.

It's been confirmed that Richard Attenborough's 14 year old granddaughter is among the British casualties - her mother is still missing.

It's the virtually the only news story here in UK..Again, what coverage is there on this disaster on US media?
