What a load of crap. The tsunami only affected the first couple hundred
metres of coastline (unfortunatley where most of the villages and
resorts are most heavily populated). If pug's Sri Lankan friends had
survived the initial tsunami, all they need to do is walk 3 or 4 blocks
back and use the first phone box. The communication, while more
conjested than normal, is just fine. If he hasn't heard from his
friends after 6 days, he's not going to. They're dead - let's face it.
But remember, over 100,000 people are dead. Why is pug's friends more
important than any of the others?
