City: New Delhi Sat Oct 8 13:26:33 2005 Name: Niranjan Email: lniranjan@rediffmail.com Quake Experience: Now that I'm no more in that company, I feel free to talk about my ex boss & his 'black' tongue. It was the July of 2003 in northern Italy when my colleague & I were travelling with my ex boss on a train. We were passing through rocky mountains of the Dolemite range when my boss asked the other passengers if there has ever been an earthquake in this part of the world, considering its geographical nature. The others answered with an almost angry hint of 'NO' as earthquakes were almost unheard of in this region since humankind set foot. Everyone but my ex boss expressed surprise. We alighted at Bozen station & were waiting for our escort when a mile long freight train passed the station. A few seconds after it passed through, there was a loud roar for a couple of seconds. We were certain the freight train had derailed. A few seconds later there was louder roar & the earth shook violently for about 10 seconds. Everyone in the platform of this otherwise laidback place was at their feet, themselves shaking like a leaf. The sturdy structure of the platform somehow reassured us all's fine. My colleague & I looked distastefully at our then boss. It was Northern Italy's first earthquake since humans inhabited the region.
