1. That's a HUGE one!

I hope this doesn't further ruin Indonesia socially and economically.

8. It's on the land bordering Papua New Guinea...

it's basically jungle with huge gold, copper (etc) deposits. The Indonesians have been committing genocide against the natives there for decades.

I think you'll find that the Carlyle Group has interests there.

2. Wow... Very Powerful Quake.

My thoughts go out to the people who may be injured and killed.

6. Another land occupied by the Indonesians "East Timor Style"...

where huge western mining interests are.

There is almost no chance of us finding out about any civilian casualties from this event, since the Indonesians keep a media blackout on the region and countries like the USA and Australia refuse to criticize the Indonesians over it.

7. Is there a possibility of a Tsunami?
