It would be bad enough if the decimal point was one place to the left but as it is... Grant Darwin NT |

Sounds like military pricing. |

Very sad. :-( Tourists crushed to death in freak rock fall near waterfall. Five people have tragically died and 32 are injured after a wall of rock collapsed on top of tourist boats below a waterfall in Brazil. |

Not so freak, just infrequent. Still sad. https://seismo.berkeley.edu/blog/1996/07/10/the-yosemite-rock-fall-of-july-10-1996.html Not a good idea to spend too much time beneath cliffs, or on top of them near the edge. |

A really big one waiting to happen is in the Canary Islands for Mount Teide to lose the northern flank into the sea... Here's a pop-press style article to give the idea of what will happen sometime: Killer Earthquakes, life-threatening Tsunamis and Huge Death Toll expected When the Tenerife Volcano Teide erupts! And this is what happened for the last big splash from there: Explosive eruption, flank collapse and megatsunami at Tenerife... All very real yet incomprehensible... All without precaution or contingency. Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Don’t forget about the Grate Crack in Hawaii and where it is pointed. |

Can I point you to a respected volcanologist Valentin Troll, Uppsala University and his recent lecture on Tenerife. The Geology of TENERIFE & TEIDE NATIONAL PARK He talks about the historical collapses from about 00:33:00 and the chances of them in the future. His Youtube page for more on volcanos is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoIhK8XHA0xTd9Hej8wfl1g/videos |

Imagine going on a cruise, but instead of arriving home you wind up being kicked off in the Bahamas. :-O A cruise ship had an arrest warrant waiting in Miami. So it took passengers to the Bahamas. A cruise ship heading to Miami changed course to the Bahamas Saturday after a US judge issued an arrest warrant for the ship due to unpaid fuel bills.I wonder what the passengers thought of that cruising experience. Cheers. |

Not quite the ending to a trip I would have wanted. I guess now the passengers, being mostly Americans, will be sharpening their own lawyers to get compensation for their disrupted holidays. Further, can an International Arrest Warrant be issued for a ship in this sort of case? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Arrest the crew for several thousand counts of kidnapping. |

The crew have a fairly solid defence (below captain and navigation officer), but the cruise line are in for some very stormy waters. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
