Magnitude 9.3: at the heart of the Tsunami

On December 26, 2004, while the whole world had just finished the Christmas holidays, an unprecedented natural disaster struck the countries that bathe in the vast Indian Ocean. Many Westerners deserted their daily lives to recharge their batteries in the sun, on the other side of the world.
We met up with family, friends or on honeymoon, for magical moments, in the most exotic destinations. But fate had other plans. At 7:58 in the morning, the earth began to tremble off the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Magnitude 9.3 on the Richter scale. Unheard of in living memory. A gigantic wall of water began its deadly journey on the west coast of Sumatra, to end up at the edge of the Indian Ocean, sowing death and despair.
It would leave 200,000 dead in its wake. The whole world became aware of the scale of this disaster almost instantly. Tourists' amateur cameras record live images, images that will travel around the world. Our documentary unfolds minute by minute the fate of these families who, through their holiday films, make us live their particular experience. The testimonies are poignant.
Destinies intersect. The victims are forever linked together in life and in death. We tell their stories.

In 1969, we had a huge earthquake that devastated a few cities. Animals reacted strangely even a few days prior. Their sensory perception is much finer tuned than ours. My border collie knew a day in advance when thunder brewed in clear, blue skies. Always pay attention to animal behaviour changes.

The most frightening scene was at Banda Aceh. It was the biggest nightmare to me. That 10 or 15 foot churning mass of splintered wood, the remains of the homes that were ripped apart. So much of it that the top was like a raft, with people climbing around on it. They were trying to get to some where they could climb off to safety. Anyone who fell into the water had no chance of survival at all. It didn’t matter if they could swim. With all that churning, splintered wood and sheets of tin from the roofs of homes a person would be torn to pieces in seconds. That scene will remain, stuck in my memory forever.

yup. i was at that bridge 8:01. me and my siblings just escaped the water from the area where we lived. we saw people are flocking at this bridge so we stopped by and take a look. some got to the top of the floating debris and people are trying to help them out. some fell back into the water then more and more debris kept coming piling up on top of them. some survived but some... well a lot of things in there that can stab you or tear your limbs apart, or just stuck under there until your lungs give out :( oh, when i was about to leave the bridge trying to figure out where to go next, somebody was shouting that there is a baby among the debris. then another person shouting the baby's alive. then the first person who saw the baby jumped to get the baby with no hesitation. luckily he managed to get the baby up on the bridge safely. what a horrific day of my life. i lost my mom that day.

It was better when it didn’t have the AI voiceovers.

I was standing in my living room in Minnesota, speaking with my sister in Florida. Suddenly, the floor jerked sideways, and I nearly fell over. I told my sister that there had been a large earthquake somewhere on the planet…she called me crazy. The next day, we woke to the news of this huge earthquake and resulting tsunami in Bande Ace. It’s been said by the forecasters that the 9.3 quake rang the earth like a bell, caused a shift of the earth’s axis, and that Dec 21 is no longer the shortest day. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen of this tragedy. I’m just now watching it on Nov 22, 2024. You did a great job. My heart still goes out to all of these people after all these years. I just love Farid. He did what I was taught to do in my flight attendant job in case of emergency….he got busy rounding up supplies, procuring a machete for bushwhacking, and getting people organized. He refused to be a victim. Good job, Farid.

It's surreal watching this remembering the before and then years later visiting the after. A brilliantly told story, as it was in all its horrors. When i return this month once again to Phuket. i will look at the local people very differently after watching this, knowing many of those elderly and those in there 40 plus would remember this so vividly and must have lost loved ones. Those that stayed deserve our respect, to rebuild and carry on takes such courage. Although i had seen the changes to the area before on my last visit, i hadn't seen this documentary and have a new found respect for all the local community there. Note to myself also , do not walk in the jungle there are cobras and other deadly snakes, of course i knew this but now even more so. To survive only to die by a snake bite is too cruel.

An unforgettable documentary that raises so many questions: what would I do, who could I save, and might I be as courageous as these survivors? One of the best and most unique documentaries I have ever seen. The combined footage poignantly captures all the action and the raw power of The Sea. The “before” scenes are idyllic and mesmerizing. And the “during” scenes are life and death frightening. And the Destruction that was both witnessed and shared again in this film- it pulls you back into the waves and under the churn itself. Finally, and most importantly, it shows us how tenacious the human spirit can be under incredible duress. We humans have the capacity to feel deep empathy even when we are down and ripped apart ourselves. The indomitable human spirit. Sending kindness and compassion to these noble survivors. We don’t usually get the answer to one of life’s most problematic questions: why me or why not me? Wishing them all much more peace in the coming years.

Living in coastal Washington state my whole life, I have grown up with tsunami warnings, sirens and roadsigns posting to escape routes. I never camp on the beach, but rather above it on the cliffside. If I have to use a hotel, I pick a top floor room. Watching these videos, and the ones from Japan, really illustrate the power of these waves. Sometimes they roll over like a pounding surf, sometimes they creep in and you can outrun the leading edge for a bit, and other times it is like the entire ocean just suddenly decides to be 30 feet higher and you are in the way...miles inland...and no house, hotel, tree or office building can withstand the weight of that water. It's incredible that we have these videos, because they are so much more terrifying than disaster movies.

[@ShawnStaton-im9pb]

There is the difference though Washington State or any US coastal state will never see this type of Catastrophic Devastation.. 100 people in the USA can die from a tornado.hurricane and you all say it was Catastrophic.

[@chrisnizer5702]

A tsunami is deadly catastrophic because of its LENGTH, not its height. Those enormous waves (20ft, 30ft, 50+ ft) seen on surfing videos have a wavelength approx. 200-250 meters. That's a very long wave, no doubt. A tsunami is in a whole 'nother level. Tsunami wavelength is measured in MILES, SEVERAL MILES for each and EVERY wave in the tsunami wave-train. Everything we see in a tsunami event video is a byproduct of that enormous wavelength. Thats how they can move at the speed of a jet plane because LONG waves move faster than SHORT waves. A tsunami is the same as any other wave, including the ones in your bathtub. 🛀 They have a trough and a peak and are separated by a wavelength. That LENGTH is what makes them deadly catastrophic and sweeps entire towns right off the map.

Since this disaster I was surprised at all the ppl around the world that had no idea that this was the signs of a tsunami. Lots of people said they didn’t learn about them until they were adults. Or until a tragedy like this happened. I remember being a little girl in school in the mid 70s learning about tsunami’s and particularly about how the water will recede and that’s the sign you need to get out of there.

[@aarons.7271]

Prior to this Tsunami, it wasn’t thought of as a possibility in the Indian Ocean. They didn’t even have a Tsunami warning center, or the means by which to detect them. The locals probably never learned about them, and the tourists were mostly from Europe (visiting Thailand is a very cheap vacation traveling from most European countries). Obviously, North and South America have a Pacific Coast, where tsunamis are frequent, at least by historical standards, so it makes sense that people here know a little more about them.

[@kellymurphy6642]

@ wait what? Just because they don’t occur doesn’t mean they wouldn’t learn about them correct? At least at some point in time in school years. Edit to add, I grew up where there was no risk of a tsunami or earthquake. Still learned about it in elementary school.

This is a very good documentary. Heartbreaking. 'The Impossible' is also an excellent film about the harrowing experiences of a family who were on holiday in Thailand, and their ultimate survival. I didnt even know about it until recently discovering it on Netflix. A must see.

Если захотите понять наше мироустройство, найдите информацию от исследователя, вот - Благодарю всех тех, кто не о себе думает, а о планете и животных!,,,,, Перейдете по названию! Быть может найдёте чтото для себя...

250 000 thousand people die. Probably just as many injured if not more, and all you care about is 2 elephants? You're a shining light my a$$$$.
