CNN.com - Tsunami�risks future of Maldives islands - Dec 29, 2004: "'Our nation is in peril here,' Shaheed said. 'Life as we know it in this country is in some parts gone. Thailand, Sri Lanka, India -- these are big countries with a lot of land area. They can bounce back from disasters like this. For us, it's not so easy.'"
Unfortunately, I can't go into too many details, but shelters like those I wrote of were not just invested in by people off the internet, but high level executives who counciled with lawyers beforehand (a lawyer in SoCal is in fact being sued multiple times over this now).
More information will follow, hopefully.
