Re: Tsunami Hill Blueprint

With a blueprint in hand, to build a barrier to stop a rampaging wall of water unpredictable in its size, this bunch of political hacks headed by VM Belen Fernandez, showed again the brainless creatures, that proliferates at City Hall.

With no engineering background of substance, most of them being advised by … Arikitic Jojie de Vera, this plan of shitheads, if it goes thru the vitiated-money-making-machine of The Benjie, it could be the biggest coup compared with all the scandals that plagued the milking cow of a city . . . Dagupan.

Tsunami to go . . .

It should be noted, this natural phenomena goes hand-in-hand with tremblors or underwater landslides.

The May, 2011 Tokohuko tsunami . . . that destroyed Japan’s Pacific coastline was 33ft high; overwhelming all the dikes built to withstand such onslaught.

The 1993 Okushi Hokkaido tsunami . . . was 100ft tall wrecking havoc on the town Aonae, completely surrounded by tsunami wall, but the waves just went over it.

The 1958 Lituya Bay megatsunami, was 1742ft tall, and the 1980 Spirit Lake measured at 780ft.

With nothing to foretell these sizes of water; what was done to protect the US Pacific coastline, is not to build a wall, but to put in-place the Pacific Tsunami Early Warning System to warn the towns along the coast in advance, and Hawaii the impending disaster.

Because to construct a wall high enough from the Aleutians to Baja California including one to enclose the islands of Hawaii, is an exercise in stupidity, and Americans are not that stupid.

How high is high enough . . .

The amount of money to build an impaired idea of a wall, to line the pockets of The Benjie, Vlad “The Bloody” Mata, and all who will put their signatures on a disastrous project, could strip Dagupan to the bone.

The name of the game . . .

The practice of Pinoy contractors to mix cement with sand doubled with rice husk, to use bamboo as re-bar, to use every imaginable tricks to cut corners, is a disaster waiting to happen. You don’t have to be an Einstein, a Newton, a Hawking to know this won’t withstand a small wave, but a . . . tsunami?
