    • This happened in Malaysia

      It actually happened in a beach in the Island of Penang situated in the Peninsula of Malaysia. These people filming the Tsunami were speaking Cantonese. The beach where this Tsunami hit is called Batu Ferringhi.

    • ur right

      this is Penang... we never thought our island would've been hit by a natural disaster like that... Malaysia isn't even in the Ring of Fire!! Malaysians were totally unprepared for the tsunami...

    • Say a Prayer

      Just to let everyone out there know 3 things, I have friends around the world... some as close to this as Jakarta and Southern India (luckily they are safe) and this really happened very very quickly...

      2ndly, although the US weather systems picked it up and yes maybe if there had been a warning system in place then SOME lives could have been saved but the speed that wave came in I doubt that everyone in it's path was gonna get outta the way in time so some would have been killed, unfortunately, regardless.

      3rdly, I'd like to encourage you to donate, be it straight cash, blankets and clothes or something more origninal like my postcard swopping group are sending ecards to everyone that signs up for the swop and donating the money they would normally spend on the postage for these swaps to their local collections for the Tsnami relief, my little 3 year old has done his bit too, collecting £40 ($80) in a sponsored walk with his Playgroup.

      God bless their souls, those dead, those left, those donating and those clearing up the mess. Good luck to all.

    • the truth

      The US and Europe picked up the zunami hours before it hit. They checked their data against each others and then came to a conclusion that this would happen. They then tried to inform the gov. of the affected countries but to no avail since they dont have a system where radio stations are called and the public is notified within a short time. It took 4 hours from the time it was registered to the time the waves hit. The sad thing was that people only had to get off the beaches and go inland 500 to 1000 meters and they would have been ok.

      As for the sake of donation, Im against it, you dont know where your money goes! Thats why you have the UN and EU services who come in and help. My tax money goes to these people so they can help in an event such as this.

      But funding private org. is not helping... im sorry but its the truth. Gov. run services are better.

    • only half true

      There's lot of truth to what you're saying,but don't you guys have phones in the US or Europe??
      Most seniour officials in all of those countries can be contacted via phone 24hrs a day...if they don't answer,their advisers will.
      And you say 500-1000 meters inland?? HAHAHA,seen any satellit images of Aceh or Sri Lanka? It was know to go up to 3 kilometers inland in certain places,not to mention being 10-20 feet deep by the time the water stopped rushing in......The only safe place was in the hills,or on top of tall buildings.

    • so sad

      its so sad watching this clip cause you know many of the people we see on the beach were dragged into the ocean where they drowned.
      although you might not understand what they are saying, you can hear their voices change from playful surprise and laughter to terrified screams as they realize the full force of the waves.
      i only pray this never happens to me and the ones i love.

    • Just wondering..

      how did they get ahold of this footage? wouldn't the camera be damaged, film or likewise digital?

      By ChibiNeko 1145426852 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Oh yes -

      that's right! And the person with the camera would have been killed as well. I suppose it's CGI - just no other way to explain it. I expect the instinct to survive didn't matter much. Hey, here's a concept - the same person with the camera - ummmm - got away safely. How the f**k could you ask a question like that?

    • shut up you baboon aas fuker

      I hope everybody that died that day drowned in pain by having the lungs slowly filled with liquid.

      Don't worry, you see, why the fuk would you feel sorry for them. These people were only creating more green house gases. Incase you motherfukers forgot while feeling sorry for people, this world is on a brink of distruction. And JUST incase you stupid cok suking motherfukers didn't know, it is impossible to cool the earth down again.

      Now, was any of these stupid baboon dik suking motherfuking faggots going to do anything for anybody but themselves?
      No, they were going to work to feed themselves and there fuking family. My only wish is that i was there so i could walk around stabbing anyone else that was weak and vulnerable after the tsunami.
      You see, why is it sad knowing these people werent going to achieve anything anyway? I mean they were going to live and die, fuking cokers that were only going to add that much more filth to this planet.

      And you coksuking baboon diklickers here are crying over how fuking sad it is.. what a fuking joke.

    ...leave the bible out of this!!! So many people have died and even more are still alive suffering and wondering about their future! It was a disaster caused by nature!! And that's that!!

  • Please Pray for all the children,

    women, and men who lost their lives and for the ones who remain, but still lost their life too because all they've known is gone!!! If you have just( $1.00 ) one dollar to send to these poor people, please do it! Just think if every home gave just one dollar for each person in that home!!! One dollar does make a difference. Please, please, please help!!

  • i dont understand

    why they didnt run, anything that goes up must come down,
    ud think if u saw billions ogf gallons of water rushing out to see and then it start to come back in very fast with big waves u would have the sense to RUN :/

    • this is why

      it helps to pay attention in science class. what you just said about the water going out and coming back in was taught in my freshman science class. but i guess most people think if you know anything about science that makes you a nerd. well, i guess when this kind of thing happens, only the nerds will know what to do.

  • I heard

    Bush started the tsunami so that the US could send aid and look good. Oh, I also heard Bush planned 9/11. Oh yeah ...and he planned Hurricane Rita to make up for Hurricane Katrina. Don't laugh! People actually believe this stuff!

    By USAILL 1149138459 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • You're right

      I think Bush personally flew the planes into the WTC. He just bailed out before they hit. That explains why there was a gap between the impacts. He had to go hijack the other plane. As for the tsunami and the hurricanes, those were caused by Chuck Norris.

    the thing is, the warning was already sent out to regions which would be hit. however it was a holiday and apparently there was no one to answer the call.

    it came out on the news as well. shocking eh? how many lives would have been saved if the agency actually had someone who would have picked up the phone.
