Images of Ocean Floor Show Effects of Tsunami

Iphtashu Fitz writes "This week the UK's Royal Navy presented images taken by the survey ship HMS Scott of the damage to the floor of the Indian Ocean that triggered the tsunami two months ago. The Scott has a high-resolution multi-beam sonar that let it generate highly detailed images of the sea floor, some 200m to 5000m below sea level. An image showing the scale of the damage, and the full presentation made by the Commanding Officer of HMS Scott (38MB PowerPoint) are available. The presentation contains a number of images that have more detail than those available on the websites."

Short attention span by drakethegreat · 2005-02-11 06:09 · Score: 0, Flamebait

It would seem other nations do still care for the tragedy that happened to this world. I hope that they do because the attention span of some countries is really short and if you don't keep the Tsunami in the news it means decreased donations to help the victims. I hope the UK is doing a better job with this. All I know is that American media is so worked up about Iran, Iraq, and North Korea right now that the Tsunami was so last week...
