Earthquake

Yesterday evening about 6pm, another earthquake hit Jakarta. They said it is bigger than the quake on monday. According to the news the quake was centred just south of the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra at 6 richter-magnitude. I was driving towards downtown when the quake occurs, but I can't feel anything at that time. And I didn't see anyone panic at that time. However I heard the news in radio and they said that the quake was quite big especially those who works in skycrappers building. At that point of time I immediately call Artha to find out whether she felt the quake. And when I called her, she was already on the way to go down from her office at 25th floor and she was panic. The traffic was very heavy at that time, and when i reached her office I saw a lot of people, I guess they were evacuated from the building.
I hope this will be the last quake for Indonesia....

Wah parlin..eh serem bgt sich.
Knp yach akhir2x ini indo byk sekali disasternya..
I personally think our govt should learn from past experience so that the same disaster does not cause too many destruction every time.

titin => iya nih, memang kalo dipikir pemerintah kita belum belajar dari bencana yang sudah terjadi..mungkin karena kejadian2x seperti ini baru akhir2x ini aja terjadinya. Yang gue concern bgt itu Indonesia belum punya early detection sistem untuk bencana2x seperti gempa dan tsunami. tapi yg buat gue relieve itu, menurut BMG, lempengan pergeseran di Jakarta dan laut jawa itu letaknya sangat dalam. Jadi walaupun bergeser tidak akan menimbulkan kejadia seperti yang terjadi di selatan jawa. I do hope BMG is tellinig the truth...
