UN Predicts Disaster, No One Listens
In the wake of the Tsunami disaster, the United Nations is now saying that many of the world's megacities--including Tokyo, Mexico City, and Bombay--are at risk for a major natural disaster. An earthquake in a heavily populated area could prove to be a hundred times worse than the effects of last month's tsunami. Experts say that Tokyo, with a population of 35 million people, is especially vulnerable because earthquakes are common to the area and it also is in danger of being attacked by giant lizards.
