phuketrex Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Here is the documentary that was aired on Channel 4 last wednesday...not going to be easy to watch for many people. Tsunami : Caught On Camera Christmas Day 2004, and across the Indian Ocean, tourists from around the globe are enjoying dream holidays in the sun. But none of them know that the very next day their video cameras will capture one of the most devastating natural disasters in recorded history, which will leave nearly 300,000 dead in eleven countries. Five years on, and told almost entirely using amateur footage, much of it never broadcast before, Tsunami: Caught on Camera is the moving true story of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami told through the eyes of those who were actually there. Shot by ordinary people across the Tsunami's huge impact area, the remarkable amateur footage reveals what happened when the waves, caused by a massive underwater earthquake, hit land. This powerful, bold and intimate film reveals what it was like to be caught up in the events of that day and tells stories of panic and heart-breaking loss, as well as courage and miraculous survival.

tommybkk Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's sad. Good thing is that the next tsunami should be predicted, before the earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
