This Is Just Wrong
Hoax text message spreads tsunami terror in Indonesia
"Thousands of people fled their homes in panic on the Indonesian coast after hoax text messages spread, warning them that a tsunami will hit the region . . . "The possibility is that a tsunami may take place on June 7," said part of a short telephone text message (SMS) that is widely circulating in various coastal areas of Nusa Tenggara province."
And it gets worse:
"However, most residents refused to return to their coastal home fearing if the rumour should come true . . . "
I guess anyone who flees to the hills on the basis of an anonymous text message isn't much for clear thinking to begin with.
