We must earn the right to rest easyA rockfall tsunami scene from the Norwegian movie, The Wave, inspired by the Tafjorden disaster of 1934. This is a point we've made before, but stands repeating. The British astronomer-broadcaster visited Invercargill in the 1980s and, since we asked, had reassuring words about the odds of such calamity. Christchurch was looking like a pretty placid place to be prior to the earthquakes of 2010/11. Meanwhile, we cannot relax to the point of sedation given the potential for ... well tsunami for starters.
