I'm thinking the casualty reports we're getting are limited to what we can physically reach to account for..The real death toll is going to be so much higher than we'd expect.

Edit: and as stated, CNN and the media giants BETTER cover this like flies on sh%t..because 9/11 imho does not equal this



I highly doubt any boats were damaged. Out in open sea the boat would have just been lifted under the water swell.

Examaple: It is just like the water ducky in the bath tub. If you ball your fist up and smack your hand into the water next to the ducky. The ducky will turn over due to the shockwave. That is why comet or metoer impacts are so devestating if they hit the water. The shockwaves could be miles high.

Now, if you move your hand back and forth under the ducky you would see the water swell as moves towards the edges of your bath tub. In real life the edges would be land. As the water approaches the shore it encounters shallow water which in turn causes the faster water to form a crest over the shallow, slower water and hit land. Out in open water this would not be possible to due to the water not being shallow.
