  1. I was just interested in watching this, but I'm sure my teacher will/has probably assigned me this at some time. (I'm In 7th Grade For Context)

  2. A tsunami doesn't crest and break? This gal needs to take a look at the tsunamis that struck Kuji Port on March 11th, 2011, and those weren't the only tsunami waves that behaved that did so that disastrous day. The helicopter shots that have been shown countless times displayed the same characteristics.

  3. My homeland Indonesia always being by Tsunami, and strongest is Jogjakarta Earthquake 27 May 2006, although I'm very far away from southern coastal regions
