Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka

Jeff Patterson writes "Sir Arthur C. Clarke has filed a damage report from his home in Sri Lanka on the Clarke Foundation page. He is fine, however 'among those affected are my staff based at our diving station in Hikkaduwa and holiday bungalow in Kahawa -- both beachfront properties located in areas worst hit. We still don't know the full extent of damage as both roads and phones have been damaged. Early reports indicate that we have lost most of our diving equipment and boats. Not all our staff members are accounted for -- yet.'"

Many of the countries hit by this earthquake/tsunami are former British colonies ...

I bet if it happened in the U.S., the British media would give it the same kind of coverage!!

Oh wait...
