There is nothing humans can do against the force of nature...
sorry but the peolpe filming are just plain stupid. Asif you stand there filming your kids when theres obvisuoly somethign not right when you see a wave as close as that and not crashed down.
Just plain stupid in my eyes
Now I understand why more people didn't run away. At first it's looks like just some big ol' waves out in the water, but once it hits land - holy S**t !
By Waffaloo 1152431650 Reply Spam [+9] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyeah,they don't look big at all really,but like any tsunami,it's the speed at which the come rushing to shore.
I've surfed waves much bigger than those,but with nowhere as much speed.
By the time you see the whitewash hitting the shore it's too late,but while they're rolling in,the look relatively normal.
Normal swell is generated through the weather & wind,but these just sprung out of nowhere,hence the amount of speed they generated....
This is the first time that a tsunami hit Malaysia. In fact, some of the people does not even heard of the word. So it is not a shock if the cameraman did not run away coz he may be had no idea what is coming...
Now every one knows...
And to the bitch that said bad things about Malaysia, you are son of a *^%#! Do not pretend civilised and said other people is not civilised. What do you know about civilisation! I am really sure if the Government of Malaysia know that there would be a tsunami, they will built a tsunami detector. It will be the same for the Government of Thailand, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Mauritius and part of Africa.

By VILDE 1151098602 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit depends whether your just referring to the actual impact, or also including the subsequent deaths from disease in the months after.
By enoughalready 1153523946 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFor all the people who are to dumb to stay up with current events that is the tsunami that hit thailand 2 years ago on boxing day. over 30,000 were killed in the disaster. it was completely surprise and that is why there was all the confusion. the earth quake was hundreds of miles away and they had no warning of the water. It is not that the waves are large, it is that the displacement of water caused the sea level to rise almost 30 feet in some areas in a matter of minutes. if you type in tsunami on the search you will see many such tapes on this site. the people had know idea of the destruction that was coming with that wave. as a foreigner it would look just like a great wave to catch a surf on not knowing it was really a harbinger of doom. i find it hard to believe so many of you have no recolection of the largest natural disaster known to man in the last 10 years. only every country in the world posted massive relief efforts and concerts to send money to all those displaced. maybe some of you should spend less time looking at videos and more time seeing what is going on in the world around you.
By yawto 1150832568 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyour facts are not! I am not sure for which country you get 30,000 from? Approx 280,000 ppl died on that day. in thailand it was less than 6000, and less than half were foreigners. In malaysia the figure was in the 20's
i guess you have your sources and locations but i cant work them out. """(:)@
i was on the island phuket when it happened, 30,000 people died in thailand
If you search death toll it says that sri lanka has lost just over 30,000 people in the tsunami. What i was commenting on is that people saying is was 20 foot waves or when did it happen. just amazed that something like this happened and people didn't know. if i remember correctly 60,000 died on the first day alone. (and the # of dead actually listed for malaysia is 68) the majority of the damage was in indonesia. sorry for the somewhat inaccurate post. my bad
By yawto 1151429118 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveEverything you just said was false. American Tsunami detection systems did detect it. Malaysia is more interested in building major skyscrapers then developing Tsunami dection systems to warn the population, and prevent thousands from dying.
By drunkencritic 1201407877 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePeople, it happened in INDONESIA, not Thailand nor Malaysia!!! Over 200K people died there. The quake that caused all this was sourced in a sea near Sumatra island, west of Aceh province.

ANd i dont really think it was thailand as the waves were between 6m in Phuket and Phi Phi area and 12m in Kow Lak area. Koh Lanta was hit to but it doesnt have hotels like that.

Tsunami's that are caused by earthquakes really don't get much bigger then 10 meters high. As they are caused by the uplift of the earths crust. But there has been a case of a Mega Tsunami that was caused by an enormous landslide that reached a over 550 meters tall. Bigger then the largerst skyscraper in the world. Luckily in a remote area so the dmg was minimal. maybe 4 deaths if I remember.
But it is amazing to see so many people did not realize what was comming even when the wave was visable. So many deaths caused by nuts with camera's standing on the beach saying " Wow look at that wave comming to us! OMG it just took out that boat! Wow its like a wall of water! Man I hope nobody... gurgle.. gurgle.."
Dude, when a person sees a tsunami coming on him, he can't do anything about it as well as when person can't do anything if a car drives right on to him, because person gets too scared, and also, not everyone has discovery channel to watch some sorts of nerdy scientific shows
By milan is cool 1165075399 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethese people have never seen a tsunami before, he didn't know what was coming.... how could he?
not funny man
There is no record anywhere of a wave 550 metres high. A father and son reported one which was 300 metres high and washed their boat "over the trees". But I think that was a "Fishermans Tale"
By yehudi o kekoky 1150841488 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehttp:// tsunamifury. org/ mega_ tsunami.htm
As you can see. this tsunami was over 500 m high. And like I said this was a show that came on Discovery channel. I am sure that you can order the tape or something if you wish to see it. The segmant was titled Mega Tsunami. P.S Had to seperate link as it would not let me post anything over 15 characters.
If you look at the third paragraph of the link you sent you'll see that the wave tore up the mountainside 524 metres but the open water wave was quoted as being 50-150 metres.
By yehudi o kekoky 1150876442 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYes I did see that. But I assure you that from what I have seen on Discovery channel they said that Mega tsunami are able to reach 500m. Just look into it. This wave was caused by an avalanche into a small bay area. The water could not reach that high because of the shallow waters compared to the open ocean.
http:// www.bbc.co. uk/science/ horizon/2000/ mega_tsunami. shtml
Read paragraph 2 and again I am not a scientist. I am just relating what I heared on Discovery channel.
You are confusing what MIGHT happen with what DID happen.
The Tsunami in Thailand was nothing like what you said. BUT if for example the fault across the Grand Canaries activates and causes a huge land slip that will take out the whole of the Eastern seaboard of the USA plus parts of the UK and many other countries. The wave in this case would be in the order of 500 feet high by the time it hit New York and Boston.
I've just read that article and now I concur. I'll shut up now :-) Thanx.
By yehudi o kekoky 1150974090 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehave you looked every where and heard everything???
By floginsnogin 1151755750 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI find that hard to believe. Please quote the source of this information.
550 meter high waves are called Mega Tsunami. Look it up on the internet. as to my souce. I have a recorded episode from Discovery channel talking about a mega tsunami that actuall took place and was witnessed. I am sure you could google it somewhere.
By BabyH 1150837643 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI think, 550 metre is more like a Tidal Wave, can be cause by a large land slide (or ice). Tsunami is usually not as tall as tidal wave, but stronger, wider and diplace alot more water.
By clover_h5n1 1150438836 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI heard in Discovery Channel that a wave to be called Tsunami, must be al least 3 meters
By Viktorya 1150449134 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethats a small one. maybe a meter high? the big ones can be over 30 meters. thats when things go really wrong. but it gives a good indication of how much they can do.

I believe that the children would have survived that wave although the family was certainly shocked by it. It is a reminder how precious life is however and how it can end quickly from the wrath of nature though I hope that this family did live.
