There were 22 confirmed dead in American Samoa and 14 in Samoa with unconfirmed reports of scores more missing feared dead following the 8.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami. "We have 22 confirmed dead and it could go much higher," Michael Sala, Homeland Security director in American Samoa, told AFP."It could take a week or so before we know the full extent."The eastern part of American Samoa was without power and water supplies after the devastating earthquake, which struck at 6:48 am (1748 GMT).

KETENANGAN Lautan Pasifik Selatan yang membiru airnya terganggu pada 16 Mac lalu berikutan satu letusan gunung berapi dasar laut di perairan berhampiran negara Tonga. Letusan kuat itu menyebabkan asap, wap dan debu menyelubungi kawasan sekitar perairan tersebut hingga ke langit. Pakar mengatakan letusan yang kerap dan bertalu-talu itu telah memuntahkan batu dan debu-debu hitam setinggi beratus-ratus meter ke udara. Ketua Ahli Seismologi Kerajaan Tonga, Kelepi Mafi yang meninjau lokasi letusan itu baru-baru ini berkata, gunung berapi tersebut mempunyai dua lohong iaitu di Hunga Ha'apai dan sebuah lagi berada kira-kira 100 meter dari luar pesisir pantai. Kandungan isipadu batu dan debu yang dimuntahkan daripada kedua-dua lohong itu telah memenuhi ruang antara keduanya. Ini secara tidak langsung menyebabkan pertambahan berat dan keluasan kepada pulau berkenaan kepada lebih beratus-ratus meter persegi. GUNUNG berapi di dasar laut turut memberi ancaman kepada sistem ekologi alam
