MOTHER NATURE DICTATES THE PROGRAMME
Tsunami alert for the participants of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2011

It was one of the days on which Mother Nature showed her power and forced humankind to obey her wills. Friday morning an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck Japan triggering a ten-metre tsunami and a tsunami warning for the whole Pacific rim. The small group of high divers preparing for competition in Rapa Nui on the weekend was amongst the affected people and still lucky to get away with a day of changed plans. No training but evacuation instead.
