FBI ISSUES GLOBAL TSUNAMI WARNING
October 10 2009
Pago Pago, American Samoa – The FBI has issued a new alert to all American institutions, citing the presence of deadly waves in the wake of a deadly Tsunami that struck American Samoa on Friday. The Bureau released dramatic footage of waves 
crashing into their offices on the island, smashing cars and getting everything wet. The Tsunami was a result of a massive undersea earthquake that rocked the territory which lies just off the coast of New Zealand. The devastation destroyed villages across the series of islands, killing dozens.
The Tsunami is just the latest in as series of natural events to rock that area of the world in recent weeks, though it is the first to target American properties in the region, which prompted the warning from the FBI. Already investigations into the cause and nature of the event have been undertaken but it is unlikely that anyone will be brought to justice, citing the likelihood that earthquake was a naturally occurring phenomenon which traditionally has been very difficult to bring to justice. Nonetheless, FBI officials are warning Americans to remain on alert especially when travelling overseas and to report any suspicious wave activity.
“We are issuing a blanket warning to all United States territories throughout the world. This assault on the FBI offices is not an isolated incident and there is growing evidence that, especially in the Pacific region of the world, that such forces have been gaining strength in recent months and years. We are asking all people to be diligent and to report and 
suspicious behaviour no matter how incidental it may seem,” said the FBI’s office in Honolulu. “We have seen great deals of activity and chatter throughout the region and we have strong reason to suspect that such activity is not isolated. We do not want people to panic but they do need to be informed in order to prevent any potential incidents in the future.”
American facilities have been placed at alert status following the Samoan incident but as yet have reportedly not seen any further wave activity that would be deemed as threatening.
“The video released by the FBI was really shocking. Cars were thrown all over the place as though they were toys and everything just got drenched. I mean really, really 
wet. If that kind of activity can literally come to the door of an FBI office then it wouldn’t have any trouble washing over the homes of ordinary people,” said Scrape TV Terrorism analyst Doug Davids. “It’s fairly obvious that these waves have little or no respect for the FBI or any government offices which should very much concern ordinary Americans. True these attacks have happened in The Philippines and American Samoa, far away from the continental United States but that doesn’t make the threat any less real. Keep in mind that Hawaii is very close to that area and would be a very valuable target for any wave system inclined to launch an assault.”
Thus far, waves throughout the Hawaii area have been relatively calm though surfers have been complaining about the lack of breaks on many of the major beaches.
“The real concern is that these waves will start to move towards the continental United States. Such forces arrayed against cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco could be devastating and result in the deaths of thousands of actual Americans, perhaps even millions. That alone is reason enough for the FBI to be on alert and issuing such a warning is the most responsible thing to do,” continued Davids. “Unfortunately there is little an ordinary person can do against a determined wave whether it is a part of a tsunami or even a rogue acting alone. The last thing the FBI wants to do, I’m sure, is create panic and encourage ordinary Americans to try and tackle a wave onslaught by themselves.”
According to internal reports, many American facilities are largely ill-equipped to deal with a full-scale wave attack.
