It has been revealed that an Italian scientist predicted the tragic earthquake that struck Italy today.He even posted a warning on YouTube,but the authorities made him remove his findings from the internet.
This is not the first time that a earthquake prediction was ignored.As seen in the above video,Chinese scientists predicted the earthquake that hit China last year!The second video contains an "In Search Of..." episode about earthquakes & earthquake predictions.

The Italian seismologist,Gioacchino Giuliani,was accused of being a fear-mongerer.But,it appears that he really was a truth-harborer who was giving people legitimate & credible information.Here's what the scientist has to say,as reported by Reuters:

"An Italian scientist predicted a major earthquake around L'Aquila weeks before disaster struck the city on Monday, killing more than 100 people, but was reported to authorities for spreading panic.

The government on Monday insisted the warning, by seismologist Gioacchino Giuliani, had no scientific foundation but Giuliani said he had been vindicated and wanted an apology.

The first tremors in the region were felt in mid-January and continued at regular intervals, creating mounting alarm in the medieval city, about 100 km (60 miles) east of Rome.

Vans with loudspeakers drove around the town a month ago telling locals to evacuate their houses after Giuliani, from the National Institute of Astrophysics, predicted a large quake was on the way, prompting the mayor's anger.

Giuliani, who based his forecast on concentrations of radon gas around seismically active areas, was reported to police for "spreading alarm" and was forced to remove his findings from the Internet.

"Now there are people who have to apologize to me and who will have what has happened on their conscience," Giuliani told the website of the daily La Repubblica.

Giuliani, who lives in L'Aquila and developed his findings while working at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in the surrounding Abruzzo region, said he was helpless to act on Sunday as it became clear to him the quake was imminent."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
