Tsunami warning system put to the test
Sirens have blared, parents grabbed their children and hundreds ran to emergency shelters in Indonesia as countries bordering the Indian Ocean conducted a test today of a warning system set up after the devastating 2004 tsunami.
Planned for 18 countries, the United Nations said the drill was intended to simulate a tsunami similar to the one sparked by the 9.2 magnitude quake off Indonesia in 2004.
