from ISLAND-AID in West Sumatra

BBC/METRO TV footage just released of the wave comming down a street in BA helps me understand what survivors have seen and will live with for the rest of their lives. It is simply beyond comprehension.
So is this. Over the last few days Jane and I have heard several aid people say that the West coast is "ok because the helicopters are there now"! Or.... "dont worry, that part of the coast is run by the Americans"
Mind you they are sitting in luxury hotel rooms and maybe they can't relate to the chilling reality of what has happened along hundreds of miles of coastline in tens of thousands of streets and to hundreds of thousands of people.
Lets move heaven and earth to help.
