Disaster Talk Re-examined!

When I did the entry regarding 'Disaster Talk', I had a fair amount of reservations about it. Still, in the absence of a Safety Guide for such events in Malaysia, I thought it would assist. And when JT made a comment about it, I requested she look into the matter from her side of the world, she did so as requested and came back mentioning the article listed in snopes.com (thanks JT).

Now, as far as I do know, snopes.com is one of the best place to check on unsure 'facts' circulating in the net, especially on urban legends. And the first thing that went to my mind was "Shoot! I gave the wrong info! Someone should kick my leg, hit me on the head, pour molten lead into me, tie me to a tonne of steel, and shove me off into the Marianas!" Honestly, I felt very bad about it. The only thing I can do now is reproduce the comment there, and ask my friends to re-evaluate the matter. Unfortunately, the site is copy-and-paste protected. Thus, one would have to visit the link snopes link above or http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/triangle.asp. Then, ask everyone concerned to forgive me.
