  • The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) December 26, 2004 with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that spread throughout the Indian Ocean, killing large numbers of people and inundating coastal communities across South and Southeast Asia, including parts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
    The video shows the Tsunami wave approaching the beach at Koh Lanta.

      I was on Koh Lanta that day. The first was the smallest, and there were three in the first set of waves (3m, 6m & 10m). We spent the night in the forest, and will be forever grateful for the Thais and how they looked after us that day / night.

    God, I remember waking up because I felt the earthquake. Singapore was lucky; we weren't hit, but we definitely felt it.

A teacher from my school managed to survive by climbing onto a jungle gym when the waves struck.

    Tsunamis can be of any height, and you'll find that statistically, most recorded tsunamis where under half a meter. It's their energy, contained in wave-length, that's so dangerous.
    The 2004 one was by far the largest in recorded history (ignoring the Alaskan landslide), though you're right that there we far bigger ones in earth's history.

    • @williampatrick2971

      The lituya bay one was more of an explosive splash with wave runup rather than an actual tsunami. There were subsequent big waves that traveled the bay and wrecked boats though, killing 5 people. But the misconception is that there was a 1700 foot high wall of water traveling the bay when it was really just a splash.

    Actually tsunamis are smaller and faster out at sea and as they reach shallower water they become larger and slower. Thats why they are so hard to detect. Out at sea a large tsunami is only a little bit bigger than a normal wave.

    On September 13, 2008, collapse caldera eruption happens in the southern part in China, and tsunamis more than 30 meters at the maximum hit the shore directly. It is a thing by the collapse caldera eruption of Hainan Island. The dead person by a tsunami and the pyroclastic flow gets nervous to 1,000,000 people. Small volcanic earthquake is frequent before huge eruption and worries a nation and the nation.
    Please be cautious just to make sure.

    Look at the Chile earthquake. They thought that one would make a huge tsunami for sure because it was EXACTLY in the same spot as the 1960 Chile quake that made a tsunami...but it didn't.
    It's still hard to predict which quakes will make tsunamis.
    And if you're within a few hundred miles of the epicenter, the tsunami arrives so fast there's no time to get the word out.
