Well since smarter people than you or me Hortlund think it's a possible scenario even at a relatively short timeperiod, I think that validates the question.

Of course in your perfect world we must not let anything worry us. Volcanos never erupt or tsunamis occur. Isn't it funny how all those people in the mediterranean build thier houses earthquake proof when nobody can predict when such unlikely thing will happen?

Of cource its a possible scenario. An asteroid crashing into your appartment is also a possible scenario. HIV virus mutating and becoming airborne and spreading like a new plague is also a possible scenario.

My point is that we cannot spend our time on this earth worrying about all possible scenarios that might happen. If you do that, you'll just go insane.

I think the UN should move every one in the potentially dangerous area to a new, safe place. And give them twice the value of their original property in the danger area. And send the bill to all the Scandinavian countries.

That's my solution.

Hey, I'm truly concerned and that's I think should be done.

Hortlund · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2005, 04:09:08 PM »

Well, then its only fair that you pay the bill isnt it?

Are you sure Gilligan isn't moving the stick in the lagoon again?

Toad · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2005, 04:13:52 PM »

No.

Where is "fair" made a requirement? I saw where I should be worried. I also saw where it could rock the stock market to its very foundations.

Obviously, this is a serious problem. And, to avoid rocking the stock market to its very foundations WITHOUT the tsunami, we'll have to get someone else to pay.

GScholz assures us that Norway has so much oil they don't know what to do with all the money. I'm sure the Swedes and Finns are just as well off. Who better to foot the bill for this historic humanitarian operation?

We thank you in advance.

If I understood correctly all these examples of yours are very unlikely to happen when compared to the threat in canary islands.

The thing that puzzles me quite much is why are you clearly upset about a discussion that has no relevance to you.

Toad · « **Reply #25 on:** February 26, 2005, 04:59:39 PM »

Cuz Sweden gets 33% of the bill under my plan.

Siaf keep cool,
i'm sure if this thing really colapsing one day, you will get a
warning.
Something like "Tsunami Alarm! you have 10minutes to leave to Kansas"

Yeah, but then again GS has been full of **** since day 1 hasnt he.

Anyway, what kind of sick perverted socialist idea are you spouting anyway. Why should we pay for their move? They can pay themselves or stay put.

Interesting article. I found something a little more in-depth here.

Found a pretty nice pic too.

Worried? naww. Not a damn thing I can do about it.

But what if a tactical sized nuc-u-lar bomb was set off by some nut that thinks canaries killed his rabbit, causing the moutain to collapse in the same manner?

Worried? naww. Not a damn thing I can do about that either

This exact scenario is the key plot element in a novel I enjoyed reading recently - Scimitar SL2 by Patrick Pobinson. At the time, I had no idea the instability of Cumbre Vieja described in the book was real. Wow.
