Somewhat wrong. Research and development (R&D) is a relatively small part of the budgets of the big drug companies.
If this is actually true, I'd like to see some figures or at least a link.
I guess after the Indian Ocean tsunami of '04 they should have considered the possibility...
They did consider the possibility. It was built to withstand a 5.3 meter tsunami, which would have been of record size. Instead, less than half an hour after successfully dealing with the worst earthquake in history, they were hit with a 10 meter tsunami. This knocked out the diesel power to the cooling systems, but backup batteries actually kept it going safely for another 10 hours.
