DBAHO Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 A very sad story, an Aussie Football Player's body was found tonight; THE body of Melbourne AFL player Troy Broadbridge has been found in Thailand by his father. He's the 13th confirmed Australian fatality from the tsunami disaster, which hit South-East Asia on Boxing Day. Broadbridge, 24, has been missing since being separated from his wife Trisha when the tsunami hit Thailand's Phi Phi Island. The couple were on their honeymoon at the time. Trisha Broadbridge had been recovering in a Bangkok hospital while Wayne Broadbridge, Troy's father, was searching tirelessly for his son. The football community had anxiously waited for news on Broadbridge, who was feared dead for many days. His Melbourne teammates were offered counselling to help them cope with the tragedy, and allow them to continue functioning with everyday life and football commitments. Broadbridge's body will be brought back to Australia by his father. His wife, Trisha, who has been in Bangkok hospital since the killer tsunami hit the island, will also return to Australia.

Hopefully that puts pressure on the Latrell Spreewells of the world who can't fee their children on $14 million per year.

Great for Schumacher The funny thing is he rejected a 3 year deal in the off-season, now the T-Wolves won't offer him another deal, and he probably won't get more than the mid level exception in the off-season.

JUGGERNAUT Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Pray for the women in the refugee camps. There have been widespread reports of rape occuring in the camps. FYI: Be rest assured the nucs the terrorists could get access to could not cause this. The blast radius is not wide enough & the waves generated are to dispersed. What makes an earthquake wave so devastating is that it generates a wave spanning several miles in one direction. A nuc generates a circular wave like a stone. That means the energy is dispersed in all directions. It probably wouldn't even be felt on the shoreline. But several nukes in cadence could do the trick. Because water waves have communiative properties. Drop 3 stones in the W, N, & E & they will produce a large wave in the S than any other direction. The energy transfer of the 3 nucs would work the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
