Tsunami in Pacific islands !!! - American Samoa . 30th Sept 2009 . Low sound sorry

A tsunami triggered by a strong quake in the South Pacific has killed at least 34 people in Samoa, say reports.

Samoa's delegate to the US Congress, Eni Faleomavaega, told AFP thousands of people had been left homeless.

Dr Lemalu Fiu, at a hospital in the Samoan capital, Apia, said the number of casualties was expected to rise as people arrived from coastal areas.

An 8.3-magnitude quake struck at 1748 GMT, generating 15ft (4.5m) waves in some areas of Samoa and American Samoa.

The Samoa islands comprise two separate entities - the nation of Samoa and American Samoa, a US territory - with a total population of about 250,000 people.

A tsunami warning was issued, but it has now been cancelled.

President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in American Samoa, enabling federal funding to made available to help victims.

thakrak -- What is this immature false propaganda. Someone told someone who finally told an idiot like you and you believe it. What is your IQ? It has to be hovering somewhere around retard level.

Why on Earth would they do nuclear tests all around the south pacific? Why on Earth would the pour chemicals from planes onto the population of the islands below, in the pacific? Because it is remote; because who would care less there are 100 dead samoans on a beach. Because as long as it happens more than 3000 miles away from the US it is ok... F*** them.
