Crash

37 killed by tsunami on a Java beach.

5 was the figure given earlier one. The tsunami was caused by an earthquake that hit the southern coast of Java island(220 miles south of Jakarta), also today. This quake measured 7.2 on the Richter scale, fatal enough to cause a tsunami, one more time.

A tsunami watch is being carried out for effects on part of Indonesia and Australia.
Because there was already a warning issued, following the quake, the death toll is noticeably less than the last two tragedies (Dec 26, and Jogjakarta) but still very fatal. However, the search is being carried out once more, for the unaccounted bodies. The Search, all over again.

It's like a bad dream.
