Tsunami at Koh Siboya 26 dec 2004

This is my film from the waves that came in on the island of Koh Siboya outside of Krabi, Thailand during the tsunami of 2004. The talking is all in Swedish.

I just thank God that the wave wasn't so bad here and that you and your family are fine, I'm sure you all know how lucky you were.

[@nohasalah5914]

Most of the comments are too harsh calling those tourists stupid just because now people know about tsunami, I don't think those people realized what was going on, or how lucky they were, I myself have never heard of a tsunami before 2004 even though I live in a coastal city on the Mediterranean and we have waves but you never expect them to do this!

[@chrisemerson7743]

Not one person not even the locals knew wtf was going on! Everybody reading this would have done the same thing and that is stared at the ocean with no understanding for how much danger u were in. So these folks criticizing others actions that day would have probably been some of the first swept out to sea that day had they been there.

[@pattimuse1]

I'm sorry but if I see ocean waves moving abnormally, I will start to run The first wave is never as high as the following waves!

At what point do you stop and realise that the waves that you are filming are at or higher than your eye level and think maybe we should get to higher ground?

[@dronelaw]

Siboya got off lucky on this one. We had quite a few islands to block the tsunami, but there was still a lot of damage done. Every time we take the ferry we can see the "tsunami boats" that were built to replace the ones lost in the tsunami as a reminder of its power.

They dont had any idea what goin beneath the ocean,the rushing of the water back & forth. Scary waves

[@heatherhillman7280]

I grew up right smack dab in the middle of the US, consequently where I was when this happened. I had heard of tsunamis, I knew what they were, but until this happened I didn't know any warning signs. I'll admit, I probably would have been standing on the beach too, not recognizing what was coming. So I don't judge these people harshly, but I do find myself wishing for them to run. What is surprising to me is that even the locals weren't beating a hasty retreat. I read somewhere that tsunamis aren't a common occurrence there, also surprising since Indonesia sits so close to two major plates and the fault line is just right off the coast.

[@exentr]

I have lived my entire life by the ocean. I were clueless about tsunami. When I think back I may have seen tsunami like in cartoons but that was more of a myth to me. I can't tell how I would react if I were on a beach in the area the tsunami hit in 2004. I am healthy sceptical but still. Who knows. I find judgmental comments on footages from boxing day 2004 in the Indian ocean annoying. Poor souls.

[@kathyakamimi4989]

Very true, although I did see giant waves in some of the Japanese tsunami videos of March, 2011. Those videos are the most destructive I have ever seen!

[@randomly_random_0]

What made this disaster killed so many is that before this event, people aroudn the world dont know how tsunami look like and what are its signs before it hits shore. People only know tsunami from movies which dont depicts realistic tsunami because in movies, tsunamis are like walls of water higher than buildings...people prior to 2004 did not expect tsunami like this

[@weekdaycycling]

Normally the huge wave won't run deeply into the land for miles as tsunami does.

[@blumie006]

No it's not it is a ripple on a Maga scale. it's not like a storm surge that pushes down on the sea with pressure causing the water to rise around the pressure system

[@trutherror]

@@randomly_random_0 preach, I always get really upset and sad when people start showing hate to the people that looked and filmed. One: as you stated above people did not know, nothing like this had happened on this scale during this time period prior. Two: from watching videos of people interviewed after the tsunami struck alot of people explained how people where memorized by the ocean during and leading up to the tsunamis and that makes sense hence me being slightly obsessed with it myself lol. Then the people who are like your an idiot why didn't you run as we stated above if it where them back then odds would have been they where probably like 8 and even if they where older they most likely would not have known and given that the nasty comments are on videos of watching people who where watching the tsunami I have a funny feeling that they also would want to watch given the context.

[@1234lavallee1]

I think one of the reasons the tsunamis were not very devastating at least on this part of the island was do to the depth of sea,looking into the distance you can see the waves have crested suggesting the sea was very shallow at that distance which would have allowed the wave to expend much of its power before reaching shore especially if the waves are coming close together,if the sea depth had been quite deep at that distance than we would have been looking at a much different dangerous scenerio.

From beginning of the video, was it the first or second wave coming? The later wave seemed to be the bigger one.

[@chrisemerson7743]

At the very beginning of this video is at the beginning of the waves. So this is about 20-30min after the sea started acting up. It had already gone out and was coming back to shore. If u watch it closely u can see how the the waves are just crashing on top of each other. It’s a very strange site. When u see a wave breaker it always progresses forward and then rolls back. This shit was breaking on top of each other and only getting taller. It’s a very weird site to see. I can see how people were just staring at the water like wtf is that! It’s not logical(?).

[@wolfthunder2526]

@@chrisemerson7743 actually the wave had been broken, but the later water mass still pushing forward. This made the water level higher. The wave height on the video was pretty average, like in the rainy season, but the mass and pushing power was so incredible. Someone would not have a chance to stand still the pushing power of that ravaging ocean. If I were there, I'd be hypnotized also by the strange waves.

[@chrisemerson7743]

Fighter Cat What do u mean by “the wave had been broken”? Also, the reason the water level was rising was because of an earthquake. The tsunami came in just a little ways at first and most people didn’t notice. Then the water started to retreat more and more. But the whole time the waves are still breaking but only going backwards. During this time the water is actually building up, waiting for the energy from the earthquake to catch up. When it does it comes in at about 60mph.

[@alistairmcelwee7467]

Wow, how someone stands with hands on hips in front of a rapidly approaching & furious tsunami while Scandinavian folks are yelling “komm”, “komm” in urgent voices. “Komm” sounds so very close to English” come”, & with a tsunami rapidly advancing on you & everyone else running away as fast as they could, I mean, could this be difficult for a European resort employee to get a quick handle on?

It is hard to grasp how so many were not aware of what a Tsunami is or how devistating one CAN be. Don't people read? This is what happens when people ignore history.

[@Ryukai-san]

It's all well and said in hindsight, but this was 15 years ago (this IS the history), back then the majority of people hadn't even heard the word 'Tsunami' let alone knew what one was. You had to take an A-level/college degree in Geology just to be taught the basics. Tsunamis on this scale had never happened before in the 'modern digital world' so there was no reference material other than a few grainy B&W pics from the aftermath of the Alaskan earthquake/tsunami from 1964 (non from the event itself). Luckly, with both modern communication and the internet's ability to spread information within a matter of hours we are able to spread this type of warning information a lot better and much more widely :)

[@Ryukai-san]

It's not a Tidal wave, tidal waves (normally called Bore's) only affect the first couple of meters of the ocean/sea surface and are a result of the Sun/Moon combined gravity (hence the word Tidal in the name) pulling on the ocean surface in a particular way at certain times of year in a specific area. They are completely predictable and mostly harmless (check out videos of one called the Severn Bore). This on the other hand is a Tsunami, these are generated by Earthquakes/Landslides and are a result of a massive amount of water being pushed away from the earthquake/landslide area and affect the ENTIRE column of water from the surface all the way down to the sea floor. They can be many Kilometers/Miles deep as well as a couple of kilometers/miles wide (for each wave, and there can be multiple waves one after the other, and can take over a day for the ocean/sea to stop oscillating back and forth). We can only 'predict' what will happen shortly after the Tsunami has formed (and if it forms close to shore there isn't enough time as there can be only minutes between both earthquake and tsunami happening on a coastline) and even then it can take anything up to an hour to accurately figure out how high the wave will be along coastal areas, something that people near by don't have :(

Well, it's easy for us to say with hindsight, but it seems to be a common human theme! I saw a landslide video where basically the whole hill side was collapsing down taking with it the forst and the people on the road right next to it just stood there oohing and aaahing! Pretty much every single one of them! Just because that part was first in coming down, doesn't mean the bit above the bystanders isn't going next, but no, they just stood there gawking and filming. I am wondering, as you see this time and time again with a massive event like these, that maybe it is just too great a thing for the mind to fathom, and maybe the brain just shuts down into bystander mode? I saw a doco with this buffalo sitting down and lions tearing chunks out of its back while it was still alive...it was just sitting there not making a single noise or resisting.Suddenly a fight broke out amongst the lions for some reason and they were all squabbling and the buffalo just got up and walked off away from them with a massive chunk out of its back and the lions didn't realise it had escaped. i wondered how an animal could just sit there quietly without fightback and not make a noise whilst being eaten alive, and I guess it is a coping mechanism in a hopeless situation- when you are staring death right in its face, and its not seemingly possible to survive, creatures just seem to go docile and yield to it, and I wonder whether this massive disaster inaction is a similar thing, because it happens across the globe in all of these disaster situations..
