BBC News reported similar figures. They sent a reporter to Rangoon, but he was unable to travel to affected areas or otherwise corroborate. The govt. claims that its coastal areas were sheltered by the Andaman Is. but I'm not sure, given a quick glance at the map.Comment

Andrew informed me the other day that the main force of the tsunami was directed to the east and west thus sparing Burma and Bangladesh from severe damage.
The eartquake's faultline ran north-south.An expert on the radio today described the wave action as being similar to that of a log tossed into water with most wave force being directed perpindicular to the logs length.Comment
