The Hunga Tonga volcano
(OP)
Not an engineering failure, but definitely a disaster. But then, the damage to the communications cable might be classified as an engineering failure.

My ex work colleague Lars flew out there two days ago with the hardware. Only just seen a post from him so they must have something uplinked now.

Australia, New Zealand, and others are mobilizing, but lack of communications is making it overly difficult.

Best efforts are in place to prevent transmission of Covid to the population, which is about 60% double dose vaccinated. Tonga has a population of a bit over 100,000. There are about 10,000 Tongan born people in Australia and 20,000 in New Zealand, so it is appropriate that Australia and New Zealand lead the disaster relief and recovery efforts. New Zealand has over 80,000 people of Tongan ethnicity. So between the two countries, there are as many Tongan expats as people who live in Tonga. Tongans are a very family oriented, hard working, religious people.

Yes some of these posts are extraneous, but I'm unsure how talking more about a problem on the other side of the world will be of any help to the victims. And I really don't know how my keeping a stern face will help matters.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
