The Associated Press: 7 experts to be tried over 2009 Italy quake: "ROME (AP) — Seven scientists and other experts were indicted on manslaughter charges Wednesday for allegedly failing to sufficiently warn residents before a devastating earthquake that killed more than 300 people in central Italy in 2009."
What the hell? It's hard to imagine the thought process behind that, as sources more esteemed than the scientists bluntly state that it is impossible to predict earthquakes. While I understand the grief in the wake of such a tragedy, blaming scientists is not the answer, nor is it encouraging the science that they believe can help predict earthquakes. Who would risk that type of liability?
Idiots.
