«Breaking News» Remote fishing village feared wiped out after tsunami

A remote fishing village is feared to have been wiped out after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake rocked Indonesia, killing at least 384.

More than 600,000 people live in the coastal city of Palu, with fears of more casualties as disaster response units struggle to access the cut-off nearby fishing town of Donggala.

The devastating tsunami ripped through the Pacific Ring of Fire and crashed into Palu City on Friday, killing almost 400 and injuring some 540 others.

The disaster mitigation agency has not been able to get any information from Donggala, closer to the epicentre of the quake 16 miles away.

The quake and tsunami caused a major power outage that cut communications around Palu and on Saturday authorities were still having difficulties coordinating rescue efforts, which was also hampered overnight by darkness. 

People in Central Sulawesi and West Sulawesi provinces were told to evacuate to higher ground, though it remains unclear as to whether people remained in their homes because of the contradicting government advice.

Residents make their way along a street full of debris, including the wreckage of a shipping container. Power lines have come down and in the background is a mosque which was a badly damaged by the 10ft waves

'There are reports that many buildings collapsed in the earthquake,' Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency BNPB said in news briefing in Jakarta.

'Residents panicked and scattered out of their homes.'

Sulawesi is the fourth largest Indonesian island and is home to around 18million people - all of whom have been put on alert following the quake on Friday.

Footage posted on Twitter show the five-foot-high wave approaching the shore and breaking over buildings

 Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is regularly hit by earthquakes. In August, a series of major quakes killed over 500 people in the tourist island of Lombok

The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude of the second quake at a strong 7.5, after first saying it was 7.7.

An earlier 6.1 magnitude quake destroyed some houses, killing one person and injuring at least 10, authorities said.

'The quake was felt very strongly, we expects more damage and more victims,' Nugroho said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
