We woke up to the news of a magnitude-6 earthquake in L'Aquila, about an hour's drive from Rome. Last June, I visited the underground laboratory (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) in a nearby traffic tunnel. Some of the scientists at the lab actually live in L'Aquila, and they contribute to a project that I am working on. The CNN footage looks really bad, and I hope the human loss can be kept to a minimum.
Now we have to head to the train station for a high-speed train to the Frankfurt airport, then onto Vienna for a week long vacation.
