I join with others around the world in expressing my deepest condolences to people in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Somalia, and elsewhere suffering the terrible tragedy of this past week’s tsunamis. Knowing the pain of losing my own child, I am especially horrified to see so many children die around the world.
It is particularly difficult to fathom this tragedy knowing that the majority of the victims were killed hours after scientists first became aware of the earthquake and tsunamis, but that no system was in place to pass on the knowledge. Another tragic lesson of the power of information and media — or lack of access to the same — in people’s lives.
