Apparently the seismologists practically on top of the quake were in a position to warn countries within a few minutes but didn't know who to call.. Just another monumental Dis-United Nations cock up imo.
I might have guessed it wouldn't take long for someone to blame Americans.. Unbelievable..

Did I hear somewhere today that the Americans picked up the quake and where aware the Toon-Army was going to hit these countries but.....they did'nt know who to ring !!!! or was it because it was'nt happening in their country they could'nt be bothered !!
