Dear Prof.Sreenivas Sarma Paraitham > Conference Secretary, International Conference
on Natural Hazards & Disaster
Management (IC-NHDM),CED,CBIT
Hyderabad, INDIA.

and

Others Worldwide.

To night, flash back to 12th Nov. 1970, let's observe one minute silence in memory of more than 5,00,000 ( five - five zeroes ) people. This is one of the history's greatest natural disasters.

热带风暴海沿海行Patuakha激增li district was around 35' ( thirty five feet ) and over Bhola island it simply swept across with a height of about 50' ( fifty feet ), according to narration of the fateful event by Mr.Abdul Sattar of Patuakhali, Security - in -Charge, of our apartment complex interviewed this evening who vividly remembers this.

This mega cyclone,category 5 - US standard, originated far off the coast of the eastern Java,Indonesia, over the Pacific Ocean and drifted slowly westwards to the Indian Ocean. All of a sudden away from the shore of Andaman - Nicobar islands changed its course to the Bay of Bengal and started heading straight towards southern coastline of the then East Pakistan now Bangladesh.

US National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration ( NO AA ) did notify the Government of Pakistan about its super destructive power but surprisingly no warning signal was flashed. Next morning the Australian Broadcasting Company ( ABC ), Australia, and the Far Eastern
广播公司(远东),马尼拉,菲律宾s,` were almost the first to report followed by worldwide TV & Radio Stations. Radio Pakistan was perhaps the last in next night news bulletin to announce.

With regards and best wishes.

Sincerely yours,
