Weeks before the disaster, an Italian scientist had predicted a major quake around L'Aquila, based on concentrations of radon gas around seismically active areas. Seismologist Gioacchino Giuliani was reported to police for "spreading alarm" and was forced to remove his findings from the Internet.
Civil Protection reassured locals at the end of March that tremors being felt were "absolutely normal" for a seismic area.
The quake was the latest and strongest in a series to hit the L'Aquila area on Sunday and Monday.

"Forced to take his findings off of the internet" !!!
The internet is being policed too. Did you hear in Europe they have to save everyone's web history for a year now?
I know Tavia, isn't that amazing. This guy is a hero now.
