Perched high on the Grand Mosque in Aceh, a man stood clinging on with camera in hand. A wedding photographer by profession, he risked his life so “a broken piece of home, a car” destroyed by the torrents, might not be lost forever. Today like thousands of other Indonesians, he has no home and “no money to start again”. Life “is impossible” with his family cramped into one house. Yet, he is determined to be positive. For him the Tsunami was a sign from God “to open the eyes of all people to see his power, like in my pictures”. Those that witnessed events of last year “have to believe in God now.”

I hate youtubers like this so much, how fucking hard is it to google search the fucking topic of your video. This was the "Boxing Day" (Dec 26th, day after x-mas, hence "boxing" day) tsunami of 2004, fucking useless waste of life, 2004, NOT 2005. Show some respect dipshit. Thumbs down.

I have to wonder if the polar shift didn’t cause this and drastically moving the shore line.
That looked like the blob! Scary! Great footage. So very sad! Evil people commenting here! God bless Indonesia.. Beautiful people!
Is there a GOFUNDME site for this poor guy?
The UN is a big joke
Poor guy :'(
Someone must give to this man a job like photographer is so.sad to not have a house…I hope the situation not be the same after so many years….
Well, he made some money, that's what counts.
A message from God or Plate Shift ?
Sorry for the lose
Indonesian people are very strong they recovered very quickly from that tsunami. And yes it is a message from God
Terrifying!
47000 people were buried there? Id love to hear more details to help me understand how 875000 people were buried in a much smaller area in Treblinka/Birkenau.
2019?
Thank you for filming that
Jesus is our savior
2004 !
90,000 people died in that city alone. Think about that. Entire families and communities wiped out. I visited Banda Aceh back in 1989 when I was backpacking through Southeast Asia. I remember that mosque well, and the fish markets that surrounded it. I went inside the mosque and admired the beauty of the building and devotion of the people. Amazing how it stood standing when all around it was wiped out. My deepest condolences to all the victims of this terrible catastrophe…..
Meanwhile we all complain about our bullshit first world problems ?
No video of the waves at the beaches in banda aceh because they all died.90.000people died there.
Jesus!!!
?
So sad God have mercy on your good people
Did he film it this time?
It was in 2004, not 2005. Courage to all.
That same big white house in the background held up. Very inpressive
Heartbreaking. Sobering! So many bodies that mechanized labor was a necessity. It's also heartwrenching to hear a survivor act like he was on the winning team of his god's psychopathic kinetic lecture. :/
"Yet there might still be a heaven, but it won't be perfect, and we're going to have to build it ourselves."
WTF you still believe in god after all that suffering and hell??????
I don't see any tsunami footage.
AND THE ALMIGHTY GOD SPREAD HIS HANDS OVER THE WHOLE EARTH AND BLESSED IT–this is how the UNIVERSE talks back–MORE TSUNAMIS to come–for all those cruel dog eating/cat eating low life GLUTTON SCUMS OF THIS EARTH.—BE KIND TO ALL EARTHLINGS OF THIS EARTH–STOP ALL BRUTALITY OF DOGS/CATS/ANIMALS….STOP EATING DOGS/CATS…THEY ARE NOT LIVESTOCK.
The Rockefellers own the largest charity for cancer there was. An investigation showed only 3% of the money was given to the care of cancer victims!!! 3%…??? The rest was for salaries and expenses! Go figure?
P. S…., anyone interested in helping me start a charitable organization…???

How is it that Journeyman can take subjects that are inherently interesting and make them sooo dull. That’s a special gift.
