That fucking lapindo company should be held responsible for this manmade disaster! They refused to accept the fact that this was becouse of their fault, for fear that they may went bankrupt for compensating those villager! Screw those people whoever owns this damned company!
The whole damed batch of islands kown as Indoneasia is nothing but a volcano hotbed. If you are so worried then get on your bikes and stay in the 19th century. IT happens !
what are the geological reasons for the mud flow? Can it be stopped? What harm will it do if not stopped and why are those folks still in a danger area? Insanity of humanity and the vultures who see only profit. Fair report.
@QuantumQuacks No court can force a corporation or person to pay compensation for damages they just ruled were blameless for. Well they could, but the decision would be overthrown on appeal. Fines and damages are often paid in exchange for innocence or being investigated further which may reveal skeletons they want to keep in the closet. Give me one example where an individual has been found 100% innocent of a crime yet was still forced to pay compensation for damages from it.
Actually this happened in my home country (Norway that is) a few years ago. A guy killed his cousin, was not found guilty, but had to pay her family a compensation of some kind. Ridiculous, but it proves that these things also happen in somewhat democratic and free countries. Though, I have to say that Indonesia is one of the most screwed up and corrupt places on earth.
The Birgitte-case 1995: The murder of Birgitte Tengs sparked a huge investigation. The following year a cousin was arrested and charged. He was later cleared for the murder but was later sued in civil court and found liable for the unlawful death of Birgitte Tengs. This decision was later reversed by the European Court of Human Rights, and the Norwegian courts were convicted for human rights violations.
Nope. The Norwegian court gave him a 14 year inprisonment for the murder, and he had to pay his coursin's parents 12-13.00 euros. But after less than two years in prison he was released. The European Court of Human Rights later stated he had the right of a compensation. In Norwegian he also got money for the mistakes done by the court. Pretty complex and pretty strange. I have met a journalist with knowledge to this, and he said he is sure Birgitte was killed by her cousin,
@CoolerTh4nU Ah, I see. I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the Norwegian legal system, so I was basically using what I knew about my own. This is especially complicated by the involvement of the EU.
This is really sad! I've often been to Indonesia and I love that country, where my mother comes from. But when do the indonesian politicans finally wake up and realise, that they're ruining thei own future. And the future of their children?!
There's enogh help from other countries, but nothig's going to make the circumstances in Indonesia better, as long the corruption rules the law in this country!
Everyday in the newspapers, I always see articles talking about natural disasters happening in our neighbouring countries and I realize how fortunate it is that I am where I am. I truely feel sorry for those people, who had lost their homes and loved ones ..
Sympathies from Malaysia, and I hope those people get to rebuild their homes and their lives.
@Graymoths I tell why it is happening too often in those countries. what do you expect foreign corporations are drilling large holes damn near everywhere. they take what's underneath then fill the hole again. of course the soil will not be as solid as it was. they steal and they kill in the process and even after.
@cannoir Well in Malaysia we have that problem too, but you don't see much of it happening to us? I think it has something to do with the whole geography. Some countries are just more prone to those sort of disasters.
If the company is not at fault, as they claim, why are the making settlements with the victims? They are publicly lying about their fault, while quietly trying to get the victims to shut up. Reminds me of BP and their Gulf Coast disaster.
Funny how banks/corporations are often found faultless by "law" yet are still willing to pay large fines/compensation for damage they had nothing to do with. That is soooo "nice" of them to help out like that don't you think?
This just proves that the government is currupted just like ours is and our scientists and geolists are also paid to say what they are told. I don't for one second believe that this was not man created.
well the owner of Lapindo is the one who supports Indonesia's President.. so we can't touch Lapindo at all.. so who gonna stand up against the no.1 ?! noone dare.. and yeah it is a natural disaster now.. but yeah it is common in human's history that the one which rich and powerful control everything.. and i really mean it.. EVERYTHING !!
With your new 'mud island' why dont you government assholes build a town for all of the people who you swamped, just another example of companies trampling normal people.
thats because you indonise shits are devils, we remembre the massacre you commited to our brothers and sisters. you just wait ,fucking indonise pigs

The cost of playing with mother nature can have a high price to pay.
It seems that mother nature and big business have so much in common for the powers that be are totally within their hands to do as they wish.
The advancement of this society are having to pay a heavy price for their so called prosperity.
The dollar appears to dictate the welfare of all concerned,what a fucking nightmare situation we are getting ourselves into.
My heart goes out to those local inhabitants.
