TODAY'S TOP STORIES
*******************
Govt got wind 1 hr before waves hit Chennai
At 7.50 am on Black Sunday, more than one full hour before the tidal waves hit
the Tamil Nadu coast, the top brass of the Indian Air Force knew that the Car
Nicobar Air Base had been inundated. But it was only 41 minutes later�during
which time the waves were heading west�that the first communique went out from
the Indian Meteorological Department to the Government.

Can CNN, BBC get away with this corpse show in �sensitive� Manhattan?
Six months after 9/11, a CBS documentary on the attack on the Twin Towers
censored visuals of a woman burning to death. ��The image was so terrible,�� a
programme producer at the US channel explained, ��I made a decision not to film
it. It�s not something anybody should see, or want to see.��

Nicobar village leaves behind a graveyard, from past & present
If and when anyone from the local administration or any relief agency travels 6
km from the deluge-struck IAF base here, as The Indian Express did today, they
will see a ghost village where 1,000 people once lived. And they will see a
graveyard�of the past and the present.

Caring has no religion, ask this Jamaat chief in a Cuddalore corner
Rahmatullah is a tired man. He and his nephew have just returned to their
masjid after burying an unknown Christian man, identifiable by the black thread
with the little cross around the neck. They had not forgotten to put a
makeshift bamboo cross on the burial mound.

Centre now plans warning system
The government today said in the absence of the required instrumentation it was

advance.
