  • Now I understand...

    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
    • it's not the size

      yeah,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....

  • STUPID

    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.

  • ignorance

    For 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.

    • Whilst your point of educating ppl is va...

      your 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

    • search tsunami malaysia death toll

      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
    • false

      Everything 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
    • INDONESIA!!!

      People, 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.

      Thais don't go to Malaysia for their holidays.

      imagine Thailand as England was in the 60's but with mobile phones. the majority don't travel that much outside there country. They cant afford it. that's why they think all foreigner are rich? It's cos they can travel!

      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

    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.."

    By BabyH 1150343825
    • Think

      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

    • BabyH

      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"

    • Link to a sourse

      http:// 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.

      By BabyH 1150869258
    • Hi again

      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
    • Again

      Yes 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.

      By BabyH 1150924927
    • Height

      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.

      By yehudi o kekoky 1150376141
    • late reply

      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
    • Tsunami and Tidal Wave

      I 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
    • Tsunami

      I heard in Discovery Channel that a wave to be called Tsunami, must be al least 3 meters

    thats 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.

      They watched for minutes as the wave rolled in, then when it hit them and dragged them out to sea, they'd have thought, 'I'm being carried out to sea by that big wave I was watching a minute ago'. Don't you think?

    Malaysia has one of the tallest buildings in the world. To me that country is only pretending to be civilized. The truth is they are a third world country pretending to be a superpower. Instead of building tall buildings, why don't you develop a Tsunami warning system? How many thousands died in the Tsunami of 2005? Freakin fakers! Civilize or die.

      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.

    • Wrong!

      The wave was NOT taller than the Empire State Building... It was the poer of the wave that did the damage it just kept coming. It was NOT a landslide but an undersea earthquake...
      Do you people ever read anything about the outside world, i.e. the majority of the world's poulation? Or do you just think ho hum not us so forget it! This is as highly documented as 9/11 (in the outside world) Difference is we read and digested all about 9/11 too.
