Aceh Trip-devastation

The devastation is 25km++ inland-ward (satellite photos). Kalau terjadi di ancol, sampai mana, silahkan tebak.

Thanks for Mas Agus Pambagio for his intensive (almost brotherlike assistance) guidance while we were all there. Terima kasih banyak Mas!

Poetically, Allah had allowed the black water from hell to wash inland, for a reason He only Knows.

This is an extraordinary disaster of a biblical proportion that needs an extraordinary disaster management.

We just cannot cope to do it alone. Manpower, equipment, system/ methodology, money.

What these bulldozers and excavators from BUMN and swasta are doing is just clearing the debris to make way for roads only. Not enough.

The 1000 military cadets sent there will be a waste, if no equipment given to them, since they only use hands (okol, bukan akal).

The devastation will make the coastal land inhabitable for 15-to years (7 km coastal width).
