Re: In Dubai, the state of The World is in dispute

[Guest guest]

I've read a few articles about this plan and the others like it. If they are indeed having all of these problems I won't be surprised at all. What I've also thought about was what would happen to those islands if there was an earthquake. The Middle East does have rather powerful ones now and then and since these islands are really just dirt poured on the bottom of the bay they should really fall prey to liquefaction. Besides, with the troubles in Iraq and Iran, I think people with the money to buy these islands are thinking islands in Fiji with all its problems look a lot better.

There is also the problem of possible tsunamis and rising tides.
