Tremors In Malaysia

Malaysia Airlines' two crashes in less than five months are sending tremors through the aviation insurance market - not least because the carrier's $2.25 billion overall liability policy is mysteriously missing a standard clause that usually limits insurers' payments for search-and-rescue costs.

Two massive earthquakes triggered back-to-back tsunami warnings for Indonesia on Wednesday, sending panicked residents fleeing to high ground in cars and on the backs of motorcycles. No deadly waves or serious damage resulted, and a watch for much of the Indian Ocean was lifted after a few hours.

I had just sat down with a map of Langkawi in the balcony of my third floor room to plan out my day when a series of massive tremors struck. The furniture, the bottle of water on the table, even huge clear panels of glass around the resort's restaurant directly overlooking the sea were shaking, they looked like they may just shatter.

A little after 2 pm, a powerful 8.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Aceh province in Indonesia today. Tremors were felt in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and India.
