Over one thousand years ago, a tsunami devastated the area where Seattle exists today?according to computer modeling?and researchers think it could happen again. About 900 AD, a powerful earthquake hit Seattle’s Puget Sound. The quake, located on the still-active Seattle fault, would have sent a giant tsunami throughout the sound.

The tsunami reached heights of 9 to 23 feet and traveled 18-28 miles per hour, and swept almost 100 feet into shore in some places. A wave that size can lift cars off the ground. Add those problems to gas lines severed after a quake, “and you’ve got the makings of a disaster,” says tsunami researcher Emile Okal.

The U.S. is developing a new generation of weapons that will violate international treaties on biological and chemical warfare. Scientists who are specialists in bio-warfare and chemical weapons say the U.S., with the help of the British, is working on weapons similar to the gas used by Russian forces to end the rebel siege in Moscow. This was called a ?non-lethal? weapon, despite the fact that it killed one in 6 people in the theater, most of them hostages. Last July, the U.S. blocked a resolution that would have allowed member countries to investigate whether other countries who are part of the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention are keeping the agreement, the same way we want UN inspectors to go into Iraq now.read more
