WTF!! - Italian Seismologists Charged With Manslaughter for Not Predicting 2009 Quake
Italian Seismologists Charged With Manslaughter for Not Predicting 2009 Quake

Italian government officials have accused the country's top seismologist of manslaughter, after failing to predict a natural disaster that struck Italy in 2009, a massive devastating earthquake that killed 308 people.

A shocked spokesman for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) likened the accusations to a witch hunt.

fucking ridiculous. fucking country. it's ok there if you're a mobster, or a philanderer, but if you're a seismologist who happens to miss something that is almost impossible to nail, look out!

Italians via the Vatican also prosecuted people for saying the Earth was round and for saying the Earth revolved around the Sun ... even EXECUTING them!!

Italians ... not exactly science oriented, but certainly punishment oriented when it comes to science.

There were a lot of small earthquakes before the big one and city officials were accused for not alerting the people or even evacuating this small city , this I remember well

Now the seismologists , this is a witch hunt indeed

here's another one, about Vesuvius..

[link to www.suite101.com]

'Insufficient and Superficial Evacuation Plans?

This new theory would indicate, at minimum, that today's evacuation plans should be reviewed and perhaps changed, to reflect a perhaps faster and earlier response to the first signs of imminent eruption. The question is, are those responsible - the Civil Protection Agency, the city governments involved, and the government in Rome - listening to the scientists?

There are signs that they are not. To cite just two: A large new public hospital was built recently in the ‘red zone’, the area most at risk, near Vesuvius' crater. And the head of the Civil Protection Agency, Guido Bertolaso , a Silvio Berlusconi appointee, is under investigation for allegedly setting up a sleaze deal with a Roman builder- sex and money in exchange for government construction contracts.'

seems when it suits them, the scientists are fall guys. they're nothing but c*nts!

Italy is a joke of a country, run by crooks. yes, I know, what country isn't, but Italy..yak

(not having a go at ordinary Italians btw, they're the victims here)

Maybe more scientists should speak out more and tell the truth.... but then again, they could get sued more often as well....

We should do this to Bush/Cheney and the dickheads who were on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the old boss of the FBI and CIA and State Dept for being 'asleep' and letting 2 dozen cavemen with boxcutters get away with 911.
