 Re: Maldives and the earthquake "CAS" <calumscottREMOVETHISBIT@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:33avu5F3tmi1qU1@individual.net... > They got to Male today and managed to get a phone call home. And the final update, they made it home last night. Apparently they were underwater when the wave came past, got back on the boat and made for what they beleived to be an island - it was, and a local fed and watered them before being swept away by a subsequent wave (presumed dead). They were then taken back to their resort to salvage what they could (they only got their passports etc which were in a top shelf cupboard in their water bungalow) then to another resort (guessing the main island in Meemu) and spent the night in a gym-hall before being picked up by the Pakistani warship that went to the outer Atolls and brought to Male. They flew home still in their swimmies and flip-flops and were given clothes by Oxfam at London. Sounds pretty horrific, even though it seems that the Maldives were the luckier ones... Again thanks for the websites, they were invaluable. CAS -- http://divesite.calumscott.me.uk  |
