An Italian scientist who predicted a serious earthquake in central Italy but was dismissed as a scaremonger said: "The authorities have these deaths on their conscience."
Seismologist Gioacchino Giuliani had warned "a big one" was on the way and even toured the region in a van with loudspeakers warning people, as late as last week.
But he was reported to the police by authorities for "needlessly spreading panic" and also dismissed by L'Aquila's mayor and other civic officials.

This story is strange. Why, if this man knew of an earthquake, did the Italian government step in and dismiss the evidence. If there is a way to predict earthquakes and its being ignored and labeled as debauchery, then there is something seriously wrong going on.
Hate to see lives, property and money wasted for simple close-mindedness.
