Scary Tsunami And Wave Moments Caught On Camera | Historic Cost Update! 55,000 People On The Street!
It was 2004, the day after Christmas, and thousands of European and American tourists had flocked to the beaches of Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia to escape the winter chill in a tropical paradise.
At 7:59 AM, a 9.1-magnitude earthquake—one of the largest ever recorded—ripped through an undersea fault in the Indian Ocean, propelling a massive column of water toward unsuspecting shores. The Boxing Day tsunami would be the deadliest in recorded history, taking a staggering 230,000 lives in a matter of hours in natural disasters.
The city of Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra was closest to the powerful earthquake’s epicenter and the first waves arrived in just 20 minutes. It’s nearly impossible to imagine the 100-foot roiling mountain of water that engulfed the coastal city of 320,000, instantly killing more than 100,000 men, women and children. Buildings folded like houses of cards, trees and cars were swept up in the oil-black rapids and virtually no one caught in the deluge survived in natural disasters. An hour later, on the opposite side of the Indian Ocean, the waves struck the southeastern coast of India near the city of Chennai, pushing debris-choked water kilometers inland and killing more than 10,000 people, mostly women and children, since many of the men were out fishing. But some of the worst devastation was reserved for the island nation of Sri Lanka, where more than 30,000 people were swept away by the waves and hundreds of thousands left homeless in natural disasters. A 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck Sulawesi Island in central Indonesia sent a tsunami as high as 6 meters to coastal towns. In the video, which appears to have been taken with a smartphone, residents were surprised and frightened by the power of the tsunami in natural disasters.
The video showing the extent of damage in Palu, a city about 80 kilometers south of the epicenter. Palu is located at the innermost part of a narrow cove, and was hit by a large tsunami. It shows a tsunami with white spray coming from offshore toward the seaside, which is already flooded and debris is flowing in natural disasters.
