Why there was no tsunami warning from agency monitoring seismic activity:
The U.N. agency charged with monitoring seismic activity around the globe sent all of its 310 employees on vacation the week of the massive earthquake and tsunami in South Asia, preventing any possibility of warning to the 227,000 victims.
...The man responsible for that staffing decision is Secretariat Wolfgang Hoffman, 69, a German, who will be leaving the post in August after what one insider at the agency call “nine years of abuse of power.” During his tenure, marked by “mismanagement of monumental proportions,” he has made about $3 million in salaries and benefits.
