Why would you find the line "disturbingly distasteful?" There are a hell
of a lot more serious things to get disturbed about -- such as the dire
situation at the Fukushima Daichi plant. And frankly, I see nothing
distasteful, either -- unlike the Twitter jokes that got the AFLAC guy
fired.
I can see getting upset over something worth getting upset over. This
doesn't seem to be one of those things.

P.S. As a physical geographer, I have to say that it is quite accurate
to refer to videos of oncoming tsunami, etc., as "geography in action."
I try to teach my students that a knowledge of geography can save their
lives -- and it can. Too bad many miss the message because their too
busy playing with their iPhones.

I find the comment that "this is geology/geography in action" disturbingly
distasteful.

Another interesting view...
You can put your mouse on center of the line in the center of each
picture and drag it left and right... this will show before and after
the tsunami in each image. This is the best graphic demonstration of the
damage I have seen. And in CA people ran to the coast to see the
tsunami. This is not the movies, it is real life. This is
geology/geography in action.
