although I admit that physics never bothered any of the WTC conpiracists either (i'm not saying you are one of them, realized on edit that was implied, sorry.). The way that Diego Garcia is constructed (the island, not the base) does not lead to exposure to damage from Tsunamis. Because the island presents a small cross section to the tsunami shck wave, and has steep sides, the wave finds it easier to go round the island rather than up and over it. Shock waves always look for the path of least resistance, that's why we have tsunamis in the first place, the water is less dense than the land.
