Mits_jc 5th Gear February 22, 2009 Share February 22, 2009 This brings us to the question of the best way to inform the public when there is really such a threat, or if the probability is high. Since most, if not all of us carry hp, the best way is SMS right? But then the authorities would of course feel that it'll cause unnecessary panic if it turns out to be a hoax, like this one. Sad to say, if such thing happens, be it to you or me, then it's just suay to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Just like the Mumbai terror attacks not too long ago. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
