Among many destructions at that time in Banda Aceh, there was 1 particular village where all the villagers were all saved because of the century old folklore that they have about Smong, the catastrophic giant waves. It said: "Hear this story. One day in the past, our village sinks. Starting with an earthquake. Then followed by rising waves, higher than a tree. Watch the sea after the earthquake. When the water recedes, Smong follows. When suddenly buffalo fled from the shores, don't take fish from the beach. Don't wait a second; just run for your life to the higher place." After further research it was revealed that this folklore was made by the tsunami survivors from this village around 1907, because at that time this village was one of the villages worst hit by the tsunami.
How terrifying there are no pictures or video of the waves as it hit the coast.We can only imagine what that must have looked like. Sad those poor people .Can't wait to watch the rest of the series
the only real shots are from Banda Acehu. Nothing is available from Lhoknga and Meulaboh. But it is also due to the fact that the event took place in 2004, when there were no phones with a camera. There would definitely be more shots today. Thanks for watching and commenting ;-)
@@TOPTopics I know no smart phones in 2004 if it happened today there would be plenty of footage. The aftermath pictures off the coast are terrifying 30 meter waves that's like something out of a disaster movie .those poor people they didn't even know what was happening but you can't blame them they weren't educated the only other big tsunami they had was Krakatoa. I hope now they educate the people so they know because it's going to happen again not if but when
exactly as you write, few at the time knew the true power and unpredictability of the tsunami. I also became interested in this phenomenon after this event. Until then, I had only superficial information, so I would probably end up the same as the poor Indonesians.
@@TOPTopics here in Hawaii we always knew what we had to do even though they didn't make us do drills. Like Japan we have a lot of history of having tsunamis most of them happen here in the Pacific Ocean us and Japan are the tsunami capitals. And we know it's going to happen again one day it's not if but when
The casualties at the city of Meulaboh is 28,000. While the population at the time is 40-60 thousand. HALF of the entire citizen of meulaboh is perished.
Hi Top Topics team. I was one of your very first subscribers back in the 2000's. You have done a tremendous job providing graduate level information on the Tsunami phenomenon. As always, my sincerest compliments to you!9
If you watch videos of the Japanese Tsunami in some places where the water is foaming vs just a major rise in sea level you can actually HEAR the water even before it starts to destroy things. How ANY of these people, in 2004 & 2011 were able to close their eyes again is beyond me...Bless them all...those lost...and those they left behind.💛✌
@@jaftube6447 It was in number of deaths, but the run up of one of the Japanese waves was 124 feet, due to the topography. and the initial quake lasted for a lot longer almost 5 whole minute,s the Quake also dropped the coast line by about 3 feet, making some of the Tsunami protection walls useless.. Both events were complete and utter tragedies, that I can't even begin to imagine going through.
3 months later after the tsunami Aceh, my island was hit by a strong 8.6 earthquake. even though at that time we were still watching the Aceh tsunami news which was still broadcast on TV and suddenly we were hit too. I was only 8 years old at that time. F
I've been to Meulaboh 6 weeks before the Tsunami for 2 days.. very nice old city.. On the way to Meulaboh from Banda Aceh, we'll passed Lok Nga, Lepeung, Lamno, Teunom, Patek.. unimagible magically nice view and beach.. all swept away by the Tsunami. But Aceh people very strong, resilience and religious.. they recover extremely well
PIN MY COMMENT. I will share my experiences while in Indonesia 2010, 2015, 2018 (Queen Mother Nature's Journey). I'll be honest when I talk about Indonesia, so I apologize in advance. An experience like no other, because I was very happy when I was on a land that has a beautiful, unique, diverse and captivating natural history but also has the biggest, deadliest and most natural disasters in the world. INDONESIA, at first I didn't know anything about Indonesia. In the end I got a news of a natural disaster in Indonesia, I immediately went to a large library in Europe. It turns out that there is a book that immortalizes the great natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia. The name Indonesia has been recorded and engraved long ago in Europe without us knowing it. I will talk about nature. The advantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : 85% of tourist attractions in Indonesia are natural and 15% are man-made, even UNESCO labels Indonesia as a world heritage. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful, charming, unique and different but also saves a lot of dark history written by the International. Talking about nature, Indonesia is second to none because of the world level. Disadvantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : Indonesia is a country that is labeled as an area prone to natural disasters, not only that but also the most deadly and dangerous. There are so many dark history, natural disasters in Indonesia claimed a lot of victims in the world, most often occur and can also have an impact on other countries. It's all written in the history of the world. It is undeniable, the power of Nature in Indonesia is far more frightening, very strong and deadly. Not Chile, Japan, Philippines, USA, Italy, New Zealand, India, China, Russia and Canada. Because the largest number of victims of natural disasters in the world is Indonesia. The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17,032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s? Could be more.

Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, storms, typhoons, earthquakes eruptions and others phenomenon. Very brutal, based on true story. Overall, Indonesia has been named a QUEEN MOTHER NATURE, if it wakes up from its sleep then a big event will repeat itself. Nature in Indonesia cannot be used as a joke, because physically Indonesia's geography is included in "ABNORMAL". Nature in Indonesia has a very different level compared to other countries, because it is completely beyond human reason.

It is clear that the physical geography location of Indonesia, which is far apart, seems to be torn apart by nature. Previously, Indonesia territory was not shaped like that but was still connected to Southeast Asia and Australia.

It’s interesting that this video was made specifically on the destruction of Sumatra Indonesia by the 2004 Tsunami. Many countries were affected by this tsunami but usually the only place focused as far as Indonesia is the city of Banda Aceh. Maybe it’s because it’s one of the largest cities and it’s the capital of Ache Sumatra, which is why there were more casualties than any of the other towns. But towns like Meulaboh and other places north of it before Banda Aceh, was where the Tsunami reached it’s greatest height and strength. I can only imagine what it looked like and how scary it must of been to see an 80 to 100ft wave hitting the coast and towns of those areas no more than 30 mins after the earthquake.
I believe they've broken this up into numerous videos, looking at different places each time. They mention at the very beginning the first video and at the very end that they would look at Thailand, Nicobars, and Malaysia in other videos.
@@jamiegoodman8172 yeah from Meulaboh all the way norther up to Banda Aceh. But as far as Indonesia usually all the documentaries focused on just the city of Banda Aceh. Unless that’s because there were more survivors to describe the event.
I remember when the news broke and the report was a 9.2 magnitude earthquake and the initial report said several hundred people had died and I turned to my wife and commented that it’ll probably be close to 50,000 but I was horrified when the reports came in with a total being close to 250,000 and all the damage it caused. I read that the quake slowed the rotation of the earth my 2 nanoseconds. My heart broke for all those people that went through that it was like watching a nightmare unfold. The destruction of nature is massive it is scary.
Almost 20 years now. I remember every day, seeing the death toll rise, and rise, and rise. So many lives, and the horrors that the survivors must have experienced in the aftermath. Tragic. What a beautiful place. I hope to visit someday.
@@smedleybutler8787 I just want to say before l post my comment that l have studied geology natural disasters for years. The tsunami waves from the oceanside reached approximately 3 miles inland, when she said the debris was found 25 miles inland, she's referring to the lakes, rivers and creeks sides being affected by the tsunami, resulting into massive flash floods causing debri and destruction to come in so far. Japan has some videos of where it shows some examples of that. Where Rivers recede and come back in massive force. Tsunamis are called harbor waves for a reason, it doesn't just affect the ocean, it affects all water that comes from the ocean as well.
I remember this earthquake. I was at work and for the next day or so me and my coworkers would be excited to find a new video to watch. The problem is, I have no clue what site we were watching them on because YT didn't start up until a few months later.

Even though there is no video footage of Lhoknga and Meulaboh, one can use the video footage of the Japan tsunami of 2011 as a reference of the devastation. If you look carefully at the Japan series, there's one instance of video footage taken from almost ground level from someone in the town of Noda. You can see the wall of water around 75 feet high approaching the coast. There's also footage of a tsunami hitting the city of Minami-Sanriku where a young emergency broadcast female worker died when the tsunami hit. There are photographs of the supervisor on top of a broadcast antenna clinging for life as the wave covered his building that was around 4 stories high in which 40 of his co-workers died, which included the female I mentioned. Her body was recovered miles away from the devastation.

I’ve probably seen every video ever made public about the 2004 disaster. This one has good info about the Aceh province, including video I’ve never seen before that purports to show some of the waves coming ashore. Many people who were shooting the most dangerous and dramatic tsunami footage in 2004 and in Japan in 2011 didn’t survive, and neither did their cameras. It’s extremely rare to see these images. Yes, people, tsunamis travel at jet speeds across the ocean from their point of origin (600 mph.) The waves change as they approach shallow waters and shore, when they slow down and grow in height. But the wave energy remains intense, like a huge Mississippi River pushing up against a fence. As the waves come ashore, so do those mountains of water-filled energy like the Mississippi River, an unstoppable force smashing and drowning anything in their paths. While virtually everything in the city of Banda Aceh was destroyed, one or two mosques survived. It was not due to some kind of religious miracle or act of a deity; it was because often these were the only well-built buildings in the neighborhood. Many of the mosques had hundreds of corpses in their courtyards where people had sought shelter from the tsunami. Indonesia is a highly religious country. But when there’s no god to save you, prayers are worthless.
Tsunamis just after hitting cause so much damage, then hours after the sea goes back to normal like nothing happened at all, it's scary what the ocean can do. RIP to all the souls who lost their lives. 🙏
Probably back in Dec 2004, not very many had hand-held phones with video capability, unlike 2011 Japan, a far far wealthier and more tech-advance nation.
Tapi menurutku yang paling dashyat itu tsunami Aceh, karena yang kena nggak cuma Aceh doang, Srilanka, dan India aja juga kena dampaknya loh, kalo tsunami Jepang kan cuma Jepang aja yang kena, kalo tsunami Aceh itu memang kompleks dampaknya, bahkan sampai luar negeri
Two days after the tsunami, aid started arriving after a girl who survived came to Jakarta. She gave amateur footage of the tsunami to the TV station. She was not even accepted right away because she looked very shabby, She was accused of being a mad girl. so she finally went home and contacted another TV station and told him the truth. The TV station also came over to her and she handed over the tape. Eventually the media started broadcasting the news and help arrived.
I've often wondered which tsunami was bigger and more destructive between Indonesia and Japan. Its hard to tell when this one was hardly filmed compared to Japan. Its also interesting because this tsunami had diffraction as it was the negative part of the wave whereas Japan didn't. Again, it will be interesting to know if the negative wave is stronger than the positive. Just a thought
Both Sumatra and Japan north-east coastline were hit by a negative wave, due to close proximity to epicenter and because of subsidence of land, which is the main cause of formation of negative wave.
@@DoubleV741 I didn't realise there was diffraction with this Tsunami. I've watched countless videos of the waves but haven't seen any draw back. If there was, it was very minimal compared to the Indonesia one
Both were about the same height. Up to 40+meters. Japan had 10 meter tsunami walls, it slowed the waves down a little bit, but heartbreakingly not enough, they have warnings systems though. Indonesia and the other 13 countries that were hit had no protection at all And that hurts me so much because tsunami warnings have existed since 1967 and the professionals were very well aware of the danger these 14 countries were in, they just never bothered to put them there and still til today it makes me livid. I hope that there are tsunami warnings now. In 2012 there was almost a repeat of 2004 in Indonesia when a 8.6 earthquake struck in the same area. The difference between the 8.6 and the 9.3 earthquake was that the 9.3 earthquake shook the plates vertically meanwhile the 8.6 plates moved horizontally in the 2012 quake. Had that been vertically it could have a repeat of 2004. People were so scared they all ran towards the mountains when this happened they said they didnt want to take any chances and l can't blame them. They are now on much higher alert. Each year on the dates the tsunamis occurred l am 5 minutes silent and light candles for the victims and those who were affected by the tsunami and earthquake.
In Japan, in some places the negative wave was significant, but not the almost 2 kilometers in some location during the 2004 event. The wave in one Japanese village was almost 160 feet. That being said, the people of Japan know large EQ's generate Tsunami and have the world's best warning systems. The countries in 2004 had NONE & eyewitness reports from both Ache and Galle say the visible sky was completely obstructed by walls of black water. I can't even imagine...I just pray the Indian Ocean countries HAVE followed through and installed Tsunami Warning Systems. BTW...Japan donated more money to Sri Lanka for relief than any other country.💔✌
I still remember when this happened my country on school holidays every years Nov n December is holiday for my country when 1 January start it’s means new class for students..that time I was 12 years old n I don’t sleep few days cause I’m afraid to enter new school for new grade..I’m so nervous for few days n that day I can’t sleep at all but fall sleep at 7am n wake up at 11-12Am..I going down to kitchen but I felt like dizzy..I thought I had low blood pressure cause this always happened to me but this dizziness is worse I felt like I can’t balance my body..I told my mom my I’m felt dizzy n my mom said she felt to..not long enough we watch tv Tsunami happened..but my mom said lucky this tsunami happened when at day light not night..imagine happens at night people still sleep n maybe this victim in Tsunami worse than before
Aaron You may be confusing run up with wave height. I didn't see the hill comparison you mentioned. There was in the video 20 foot waves coming ashore.
Indonesians are used to earthquakes and tsunamis... They didn't expect anything of this magnitude. Plus, there wasn't any warning system that expressed the strength
I know! Even though we never get tsunamies here, when ever I saw the tide drawing away from the shore more than usual, my instinct was to head to higher ground. I watched in horror the people videotaping the tide going out rapidly!
I’m 22 years old, I’m as student , I’m from Indonesia 🇮🇩. Yes Indonesia is disaster country , I mean many earthquakes happend, more than 200 earthquakes happened this month , it’s average , but we don’t have a good system or reminder like earthquakes alarm or tsunami alerts, that’s why every tsunami or earthquakes happens , so many victims here . Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
It has nothing to do with the imaginary "Allah", but rather that the building had a strong foundation and building material, it's obvious to anyone living in reality and not fiction.
@Macceee Research general relativity. Reality tends to be more subjective than you'd realize. If two systems get the same result from the same input they might as well both be right, even if one misinterprets the truth behind what's actually going on. The original post claims that Allah spared it. You claim that it was the foundation and building materials. I'm claiming that God is everything all at once, and therefore acted through the people who built and designed the temple exceptionally strong to protect it, due to their faith and how much the building meant to them.
A little boy survived and was the only one roaming around for 21 days before he was rescued. He would scramble for food and talk do the dead for comfort. It was so devastating but luckly he found his father!
When i imagine how huge tsunami 2004 hit Aceh for the first time or first wave approching the shore of Meulaboh , i can imagine it by watching Japan tsunami 2011, because there are so many videos of Japan tsunami.
I saw footage similar to the flow at 7:12. People getting caught up and swept past the camera reaching up but gone so fast. Nothing about it looked survivable.The sound was just an insane grinding metal cacauphony. Absolutely terrifying and so sad.
Hi - I work for a production company and we are making a documentary commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the tragedy. I was wondering if you had any information regarding the sources of the archive images and footage that you used? Thank you in advance
it was very sad when news of the tsunami started to spread after 2 days, after a girl who survived, submitted the footage to another city station. I can't imagine how many corpses lay there. 😓😓. More than 240,000 died and probably some are missing.
I read a book as a kid about a Hawaiian village that was wiped out but one girl, and have always know that if the water recedes, go uphill fast. It’s truly a shame so many were just drop-dead clueless.
The greatest height of the tsunami was measured at a hill between Lhoknga and Leupung, on the western coast of the northern tip of Sumatra, near Banda Aceh, and reached 51 m (167 ft)
This Tsunami was more serious then 11th March/2011 Japan Tsunami. More then 200000 lives losses in 2004,26th December. S. C. Roy. Geologist. Bangladesh.
For those who may not know 35 meters is = to 114 ft wave. That is big folk for a land mass that's right at sea level and for a person whose never seen such h a thing it probably looked like it was 200 ft tall.
I wonder if any man-made barrier could have mitigated the effects of the tsunami, or what measures countries have put in place to protect their people from such devastating natural disasters.
There wasn't much that could have been done. The waters reached 65 feet in some areas. The amount of force from the volume of water would have most likely toppled any wall. Some people in the area said that it was even 30 meters (90 feet.) The tsunami in Japan is testimony to what a wall can do and it wasn't much. Tsunamis are not just waves, it's a massive volume of water that also comes along with it, behind the wave, and there are many waves, each toppling over eachother, further pushing the water levels up higher with what is already there from the waves beforehand. Many people think that it's a single wave, but they come in increments and depending on the size of the earthquake, there can be many, many waves. The first wave isn't always the biggest, either. A lot of people die thinking it's over and come down from higher ground to inspect but end up trapped by the incoming waves after..It is very unfortunate. A wall CAN work, but it would need to be very thick, and would need to be atleast 100 feet tall just incase. But even that can go wrong if its integrity is compromised. If there is any wash away from below, it would also topple.
Indonesia doesn't even begin to have the kind of money needed for this kind of stuff. Also, wavebreakers and seawalls can and will fail in the face of extreme tsunamis. The only viable solution is what they've been doing in Japan's rebuilt: bring in soil, increase ground level by 30m/100ft, then rebuild the city. Japan can afford the astronomical costs, Indonesia can't even afford a functioning alarm system
Amazing video, but your pronounciation is totally off If you don't mind me saying. I think it would make your videos more professional if you correct them.
Attention! Tsunami! The focus is Bala, Java, the area of coordinates 9.08S 115.6E, 03/26/2023, 06:40 GMT, 15:40 local time, I expect an event with a magnitude of M8.7->9.0. The place, magnitude and time will be clarified in a day. Please inform the relevant structures and vacationers in advance. They will leave the coastal zone early.
There is a photo shows a small mosque still standing in amid of devastated village, not only a capital mosque that looks clean and looks like it hasn't been touched by the water but believe it or not it is a miracle
8:04 : speaking about Aceh (which is the most Islamic province in the country) but without much knowledge putting a random footage of Hindu Bali people. Among other random footages from other regions of Indonesia all throughout the video.

Among many destructions at that time in Banda Aceh, there was 1 particular village where all the villagers were all saved because of the century old folklore that they have about Smong, the catastrophic giant waves. It said:
"Hear this story. One day in the past, our village sinks. Starting with an earthquake. Then followed by rising waves, higher than a tree. Watch the sea after the earthquake. When the water recedes, Smong follows. When suddenly buffalo fled from the shores, don't take fish from the beach. Don't wait a second; just run for your life to the higher place."
After further research it was revealed that this folklore was made by the tsunami survivors from this village around 1907, because at that time this village was one of the villages worst hit by the tsunami.
It was the island of Simeuleu actually
How terrifying there are no pictures or video of the waves as it hit the coast.We can only imagine what that must have looked like. Sad those poor people .Can't wait to watch the rest of the series
the only real shots are from Banda Acehu. Nothing is available from Lhoknga and Meulaboh. But it is also due to the fact that the event took place in 2004, when there were no phones with a camera. There would definitely be more shots today. Thanks for watching and commenting ;-)
@@TOPTopics I know no smart phones in 2004 if it happened today there would be plenty of footage. The aftermath pictures off the coast are terrifying 30 meter waves that's like something out of a disaster movie .those poor people they didn't even know what was happening but you can't blame them they weren't educated the only other big tsunami they had was Krakatoa. I hope now they educate the people so they know because it's going to happen again not if but when
exactly as you write, few at the time knew the true power and unpredictability of the tsunami. I also became interested in this phenomenon after this event. Until then, I had only superficial information, so I would probably end up the same as the poor Indonesians.
@@TOPTopics here in Hawaii we always knew what we had to do even though they didn't make us do drills. Like Japan we have a lot of history of having tsunamis most of them happen here in the Pacific Ocean us and Japan are the tsunami capitals. And we know it's going to happen again one day it's not if but when
I agree & can't wait! 👍
The casualties at the city of Meulaboh is 28,000. While the population at the time is 40-60 thousand. HALF of the entire citizen of meulaboh is perished.
I'm from Indonesia, and that incident was very scary for me and traumatized me
Hi Top Topics team. I was one of your very first subscribers back in the 2000's. You have done a tremendous job providing graduate level information on the Tsunami phenomenon. As always, my sincerest compliments to you!9
If you watch videos of the Japanese Tsunami in some places where the water is foaming vs just a major rise in sea level you can actually HEAR the water even before it starts to destroy things. How ANY of these people, in 2004 & 2011 were able to close their eyes again is beyond me...Bless them all...those lost...and those they left behind.💛✌
2004 Tsunami was bigger than 2011 Tsunasmi...
@@jaftube6447 It was in number of deaths, but the run up of one of the Japanese waves was 124 feet, due to the topography. and the initial quake lasted for a lot longer almost 5 whole minute,s the Quake also dropped the coast line by about 3 feet, making some of the Tsunami protection walls useless.. Both events were complete and utter tragedies, that I can't even begin to imagine going through.
3 months later after the tsunami Aceh, my island was hit by a strong 8.6 earthquake.
even though at that time we were still watching the Aceh tsunami news which was still broadcast on TV and suddenly we were hit too.
I was only 8 years old at that time. F
I've been to Meulaboh 6 weeks before the Tsunami for 2 days.. very nice old city.. On the way to Meulaboh from Banda Aceh, we'll passed Lok Nga, Lepeung, Lamno, Teunom, Patek.. unimagible magically nice view and beach.. all swept away by the Tsunami. But Aceh people very strong, resilience and religious.. they recover extremely well
PIN MY COMMENT.
I will share my experiences while in Indonesia 2010, 2015, 2018 (Queen Mother Nature's Journey). I'll be honest when I talk about Indonesia, so I apologize in advance. An experience like no other, because I was very happy when I was on a land that has a beautiful, unique, diverse and captivating natural history but also has the biggest, deadliest and most natural disasters in the world.
INDONESIA, at first I didn't know anything about Indonesia. In the end I got a news of a natural disaster in Indonesia, I immediately went to a large library in Europe. It turns out that there is a book that immortalizes the great natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia. The name Indonesia has been recorded and engraved long ago in Europe without us knowing it. I will talk about nature.
The advantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : 85% of tourist attractions in Indonesia are natural and 15% are man-made, even UNESCO labels Indonesia as a world heritage. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful, charming, unique and different but also saves a lot of dark history written by the International. Talking about nature, Indonesia is second to none because of the world level.
Disadvantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : Indonesia is a country that is labeled as an area prone to natural disasters, not only that but also the most deadly and dangerous. There are so many dark history, natural disasters in Indonesia claimed a lot of victims in the world, most often occur and can also have an impact on other countries. It's all written in the history of the world. It is undeniable, the power of Nature in Indonesia is far more frightening, very strong and deadly. Not Chile, Japan, Philippines, USA, Italy, New Zealand, India, China, Russia and Canada. Because the largest number of victims of natural disasters in the world is Indonesia.
The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17,032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s? Could be more. In fact, the most earthquakes in the world are not Japan or Chile, but Indonesia. Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, storms, typhoons, earthquakes eruptions and others phenomenon. Very brutal, based on true story.
Overall, Indonesia has been named a QUEEN MOTHER NATURE, if it wakes up from its sleep then a big event will repeat itself. Nature in Indonesia cannot be used as a joke, because physically Indonesia's geography is included in "ABNORMAL". Nature in Indonesia has a very different level compared to other countries, because it is completely beyond human reason. Many historians, scientists, researchers and volunteers are involved in the "RAGE OF QUEEN MOTHER NATURE IN INDONESIA".
The total points for natural attractions in Indonesia are 10/10.

Please find out how many total deaths are caused by major natural disasters in Indonesia, they occur too often, in fact many other countries have cooperated with Indonesia but have not been able to control natural disasters in Indonesia and are finally labeled as "ABNORMAL".
Other countries also experience natural disasters but not as strong, as much and as brutal as nature in Indonesia. It is clear that the physical geography location of Indonesia, which is far apart, seems to be torn apart by nature. Previously, Indonesia territory was not shaped like that but was still connected to Southeast Asia and Australia. Even the governments of many countries have warned the Indonesian government to remain vigilant about natural disasters there, it's no joke because the dark history of the major natural disasters in Indonesia is written and documented by the International.
Natural brutality and so scary in Indonesia, among others.

Thank you for sharing information and stories about the Tsunami in Aceh!
It’s interesting that this video was made specifically on the destruction of Sumatra Indonesia by the 2004 Tsunami. Many countries were affected by this tsunami but usually the only place focused as far as Indonesia is the city of Banda Aceh. Maybe it’s because it’s one of the largest cities and it’s the capital of Ache Sumatra, which is why there were more casualties than any of the other towns. But towns like Meulaboh and other places north of it before Banda Aceh, was where the Tsunami reached it’s greatest height and strength. I can only imagine what it looked like and how scary it must of been to see an 80 to 100ft wave hitting the coast and towns of those areas no more than 30 mins after the earthquake.
I believe they've broken this up into numerous videos, looking at different places each time. They mention at the very beginning the first video and at the very end that they would look at Thailand, Nicobars, and Malaysia in other videos.
O
@@jamiegoodman8172 yeah from Meulaboh all the way norther up to Banda Aceh. But as far as Indonesia usually all the documentaries focused on just the city of Banda Aceh. Unless that’s because there were more survivors to describe the event.
They didn’t have a chance especially they were already rescuing people from the earthquake
Because as was mentioned right at the beginning of the video, they were hardest hit.
As a Swede, 26/12-04 and the days after is one of the clearest memories from my childhood.
I remember when the news broke and the report was a 9.2 magnitude earthquake and the initial report said several hundred people had died and I turned to my wife and commented that it’ll probably be close to 50,000 but I was horrified when the reports came in with a total being close to 250,000 and all the damage it caused. I read that the quake slowed the rotation of the earth my 2 nanoseconds. My heart broke for all those people that went through that it was like watching a nightmare unfold. The destruction of nature is massive it is scary.

The tremor of magnitude 9 earthquake must be terrifying
Almost 20 years now. I remember every day, seeing the death toll rise, and rise, and rise. So many lives, and the horrors that the survivors must have experienced in the aftermath. Tragic. What a beautiful place. I hope to visit someday.
The fact that it went 25 miles inland is just so... Absurd. Also went 4 stories high. Wow.
25 miles inland? More like 4 or 5 miles
@@smedleybutler8787 It did, well when we're talking about the rivers. Otherwise land inundation was 4 to 5 miles inland
@@smedleybutler8787 I just want to say before l post my comment that l have studied geology natural disasters for years.
The tsunami waves from the oceanside reached approximately 3 miles inland, when she said the debris was found 25 miles inland, she's referring to the lakes, rivers and creeks sides being affected by the tsunami, resulting into massive flash floods causing debri and destruction to come in so far.
Japan has some videos of where it shows some examples of that.
Where Rivers recede and come back in massive force.
Tsunamis are called harbor waves for a reason, it doesn't just affect the ocean, it affects all water that comes from the ocean as well.

Even though there is no video footage of Lhoknga and Meulaboh, one can use the video footage of the Japan tsunami of 2011 as a reference of the devastation. If you look carefully at the Japan series, there's one instance of video footage taken from almost ground level from someone in the town of Noda. You can see the wall of water around 75 feet high approaching the coast. There's also footage of a tsunami hitting the city of Minami-Sanriku where a young emergency broadcast female worker died when the tsunami hit. There are photographs of the supervisor on top of a broadcast antenna clinging for life as the wave covered his building that was around 4 stories high in which 40 of his co-workers died, which included the female I mentioned. Her body was recovered miles away from the devastation.
It is all really awesome and beautiful.

Bro, you can't just give references and not give us the link? Pls share them
The 2004 Tsunami was my first introduction to these forces of nature. Never forget the images and stories being told.
Thanks for sharing the tsunami Aceh, me from acehnese
I’ve probably seen every video ever made public about the 2004 disaster. This one has good info about the Aceh province, including video I’ve never seen before that purports to show some of the waves coming ashore. Many people who were shooting the most dangerous and dramatic tsunami footage in 2004 and in Japan in 2011 didn’t survive, and neither did their cameras. It’s extremely rare to see these images. Yes, people, tsunamis travel at jet speeds across the ocean from their point of origin (600 mph.) The waves change as they approach shallow waters and shore, when they slow down and grow in height. But the wave energy remains intense, like a huge Mississippi River pushing up against a fence. As the waves come ashore, so do those mountains of water-filled energy like the Mississippi River, an unstoppable force smashing and drowning anything in their paths.
While virtually everything in the city of Banda Aceh was destroyed, one or two mosques survived. It was not due to some kind of religious miracle or act of a deity; it was because often these were the only well-built buildings in the neighborhood. Many of the mosques had hundreds of corpses in their courtyards where people had sought shelter from the tsunami. Indonesia is a highly religious country. But when there’s no god to save you, prayers are worthless.
It is great documentary, thanks
Tsunamis just after hitting cause so much damage, then hours after the sea goes back to normal like nothing happened at all, it's scary what the ocean can do. RIP to all the souls who lost their lives. 🙏

People didn’t want to evacuate. Some didn’t believe tsunami was coming. Such a tragedy
Two days after the tsunami, aid started arriving after a girl who survived came to Jakarta. She gave amateur footage of the tsunami to the TV station. She was not even accepted right away because she looked very shabby, She was accused of being a mad girl. so she finally went home and contacted another TV station and told him the truth. The TV station also came over to her and she handed over the tape. Eventually the media started broadcasting the news and help arrived.
😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫🤦
I've often wondered which tsunami was bigger and more destructive between Indonesia and Japan. Its hard to tell when this one was hardly filmed compared to Japan. Its also interesting because this tsunami had diffraction as it was the negative part of the wave whereas Japan didn't. Again, it will be interesting to know if the negative wave is stronger than the positive. Just a thought
Both Sumatra and Japan north-east coastline were hit by a negative wave, due to close proximity to epicenter and because of subsidence of land, which is the main cause of formation of negative wave.
@@DoubleV741 I didn't realise there was diffraction with this Tsunami. I've watched countless videos of the waves but haven't seen any draw back. If there was, it was very minimal compared to the Indonesia one
Both were about the same height.
Up to 40+meters.
Japan had 10 meter tsunami walls, it slowed the waves down a little bit, but heartbreakingly not enough, they have warnings systems though.
Indonesia and the other 13 countries that were hit had no protection at all
And that hurts me so much because tsunami warnings have existed since 1967 and the professionals were very well aware of the danger these 14 countries were in, they just never bothered to put them there and still til today it makes me livid.
I hope that there are tsunami warnings now.
In 2012 there was almost a repeat of 2004 in Indonesia when a 8.6 earthquake struck in the same area.
The difference between the 8.6 and the 9.3 earthquake was that the 9.3 earthquake shook the plates vertically meanwhile the 8.6 plates moved horizontally in the 2012 quake.
Had that been vertically it could have a repeat of 2004.
People were so scared they all ran towards the mountains when this happened they said they didnt want to take any chances and l can't blame them.
They are now on much higher alert.
Each year on the dates the tsunamis occurred l am 5 minutes silent and light candles for the victims and those who were affected by the tsunami and earthquake.
In Japan, in some places the negative wave was significant, but not the almost 2 kilometers in some location during the 2004 event. The wave in one Japanese village was almost 160 feet. That being said, the people of Japan know large EQ's generate Tsunami and have the world's best warning systems. The countries in 2004 had NONE & eyewitness reports from both Ache and Galle say the visible sky was completely obstructed by walls of black water. I can't even imagine...I just pray the Indian Ocean countries HAVE followed through and installed Tsunami Warning Systems. BTW...Japan donated more money to Sri Lanka for relief than any other country.💔✌
2004 tsunami was bigger and more destructive, it reached africa.
What are those clips showing the breaking wave?
I still remember when this happened my country on school holidays every years Nov n December is holiday for my country when 1 January start it’s means new class for students..that time I was 12 years old n I don’t sleep few days cause I’m afraid to enter new school for new grade..I’m so nervous for few days n that day I can’t sleep at all but fall sleep at 7am n wake up at 11-12Am..I going down to kitchen but I felt like dizzy..I thought I had low blood pressure cause this always happened to me but this dizziness is worse I felt like I can’t balance my body..I told my mom my I’m felt dizzy n my mom said she felt to..not long enough we watch tv Tsunami happened..but my mom said lucky this tsunami happened when at day light not night..imagine happens at night people still sleep n maybe this victim in Tsunami worse than before
Aaron You may be confusing run up with wave height. I didn't see the hill comparison you mentioned. There was in the video 20 foot waves coming ashore.
Link to the first video please!
I will never understand how people who live on a coastline do not know the signs of impending danger and death. 😔
Indonesians are used to earthquakes and tsunamis... They didn't expect anything of this magnitude. Plus, there wasn't any warning system that expressed the strength
I know! Even though we never get tsunamies here, when ever I saw the tide drawing away from the shore more than usual, my instinct was to head to higher ground. I watched in horror the people videotaping the tide going out rapidly!
Sumatra never stood chance doomed from start people didn't have time react was on them instantly after earthquake
Waiting for the next video to review the tsunami and liquefaction in Palu City (2018) Indonesia which causes a lot of speculation.
The earthquake was so strong that it was sensed from India, Bangladesh and Myanmar as well.
Because it was succesfull nuclear experiment
@@Redguard677I also believe this is but not nuclear but tectonic weaponry or interference with the plates. Not at all natural but artificial.

@Macceee Research general relativity. Reality tends to be more subjective than you'd realize. If two systems get the same result from the same input they might as well both be right, even if one misinterprets the truth behind what's actually going on.
The original post claims that Allah spared it. You claim that it was the foundation and building materials. I'm claiming that God is everything all at once, and therefore acted through the people who built and designed the temple exceptionally strong to protect it, due to their faith and how much the building meant to them.
A little boy survived and was the only one roaming around for 21 days before he was rescued. He would scramble for food and talk do the dead for comfort. It was so devastating but luckly he found his father!

Извините, но какой то странный перевод на русский😢. Может опечатка?
When i imagine how huge tsunami 2004 hit Aceh for the first time or first wave approching the shore of Meulaboh , i can imagine it by watching Japan tsunami 2011, because there are so many videos of Japan tsunami.
I can only imagine the horror as the Indian Ocean survivors watched the Japan tsunami only a few years later. And there have only been more of them .
I saw footage similar to the flow at 7:12. People getting caught up and swept past the camera reaching up but gone so fast. Nothing about it looked survivable.The sound was just an insane grinding metal cacauphony. Absolutely terrifying and so sad.

I was living in Indonesia by then , so
Shocking, my biggest condolences
it was very sad when news of the tsunami started to spread after 2 days, after a girl who survived, submitted the footage to another city station. I can't imagine how many corpses lay there. 😓😓. More than 240,000 died and probably some are missing.
Why will more prevention measures taken?
The fact, my son is born this day makes me thankful.
I read a book as a kid about a Hawaiian village that was wiped out but one girl, and have always know that if the water recedes, go uphill fast. It’s truly a shame so many were just drop-dead clueless.

The greatest height of the tsunami was measured at a hill between Lhoknga and Leupung, on the western coast of the northern tip of Sumatra, near Banda Aceh, and reached 51 m (167 ft)

This is why you shouldn't use robots for narration - so many mispronunciations.
For those who may not know 35 meters is = to 114 ft wave. That is big folk for a land mass that's right at sea level and for a person whose never seen such h a thing it probably looked like it was 200 ft tall.
I wonder if any man-made barrier could have mitigated the effects of the tsunami, or what measures countries have put in place to protect their people from such devastating natural disasters.
There wasn't much that could have been done. The waters reached 65 feet in some areas. The amount of force from the volume of water would have most likely toppled any wall. Some people in the area said that it was even 30 meters (90 feet.) The tsunami in Japan is testimony to what a wall can do and it wasn't much. Tsunamis are not just waves, it's a massive volume of water that also comes along with it, behind the wave, and there are many waves, each toppling over eachother, further pushing the water levels up higher with what is already there from the waves beforehand. Many people think that it's a single wave, but they come in increments and depending on the size of the earthquake, there can be many, many waves. The first wave isn't always the biggest, either. A lot of people die thinking it's over and come down from higher ground to inspect but end up trapped by the incoming waves after..It is very unfortunate. A wall CAN work, but it would need to be very thick, and would need to be atleast 100 feet tall just incase. But even that can go wrong if its integrity is compromised. If there is any wash away from below, it would also topple.
Indonesia doesn't even begin to have the kind of money needed for this kind of stuff. Also, wavebreakers and seawalls can and will fail in the face of extreme tsunamis. The only viable solution is what they've been doing in Japan's rebuilt: bring in soil, increase ground level by 30m/100ft, then rebuild the city. Japan can afford the astronomical costs, Indonesia can't even afford a functioning alarm system

I love the narrator's accent.
The masjid stood still
Can you explain?
Probably the veru first thing they built back after the tsunami hit.
just curious, but what accent does she have...some of her pronunciations are so odd
The wave that hit Meulaboh was estimated to be 115ft high from trough to crest.
Indonesia my country. 🇲🇨
Overproud bocil

Look at MOSQUES...not destroyed..
Look at MOSQUES, made of heavy stone, cement, and steel, not destroyed.
It’s an inexplicable miracle!
There is a photo shows a small mosque still standing in amid of devastated village, not only a capital mosque that looks clean and looks like it hasn't been touched by the water but believe it or not it is a miracle
@@MendTheWorld well it saved some people so it's a miracle too
Why would god protect the mosque but not people's homes? Priorities, I guess?
Because mosque's construction took more money than all poor people needs around it.
At least pronounce the topic correct, compute generated voices makes this unwatchable.
Its Ahhtchay, not Ace-eh...
we do not use any artificially generated voice.
It is quite annoying.Did not ever look at how it is pronounced?
We can imagine how big the tsunami was, when it hit the west coast of aceh region is by watching Japan tsunami 2011 .
Gerkan ongkir ongkir
8:04 : speaking about Aceh (which is the most Islamic province in the country) but without much knowledge putting a random footage of Hindu Bali people.
Among other random footages from other regions of Indonesia all throughout the video.
Even one survived the water, there are soon heavy objects floating, which will crush anyone in the way.
