Isabella’s parents seem like the nicest couple. They set up the Isabella Peatfield Memorial Fund to fund a children’s home for the orphans of the tsunami. They also now sponsor young girls to put them through school so they can have a better quality of life. They are wonderful people.
32:18 such a beautiful lady and so generous to others. Distressing to hear she tried to take her own life. I hope she is at peace. Heart wrenching stuff !

We have to accept that humans have enroached seashores in the name of development, reclamation and in our country it's a prestigious pride to have a home seafacing,property rates r highest at seafacing location,it's like self suicide
I didn't know about this after I watched some Japan tsunami documentaries and I saw a comment about Indian Ocean tsunami and searched about this :(((((((
@@alyzza1753 Indonesia tsunami was far more deadly in every way. Japan had alot of experience and were alot better prepared. They had drills and early warning signs. The Indonesian people had nothing
I can't wrap my mind around how many famous people avoid death by natural disasters... earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, volcano eruptions, wildfires. Especially American celebrities, and that's just even more mind boggling.
My mom died a little over 4 months after this happened because of an illness she had for years. I spend a lot of time watching tv with her and I remember us seeing the news right after it happened. She was literally on the verge of death and this is one of the last times she was at home and not hospitalized or agonizing. She got a lot of donations for the victims of the tsunami and helped/inspired me to make a collect on my school and my sister's school and I don't remember how we did donate the money, because my mom died soon after and I just blocked a lot of those memories, but a family friend helped with that. I remember my mom crying saying "we have to help" and just crying. I don't remember a lot of those times, but I still remember her and the news and when I miss her I torture myself and cry about others instead of myself because she was so selfless and she helped people in need so I need to help even if I feel like dying.
Wow your mom sounds like she’s definitely one hell of a woman with a very considerate and kind soul. That had to have taken lots of strength on her part. I hope your doing ok these days.
I will always remember how loving and efficient the thai were after the tsunami. But, it is true that we will never be the same. I truly hope the people who died are now in a happier place.
God bless u and although I don’t know u, I’m glad u survived. To honor those who died or those who helped u, if u aren’t all ready, work hard to be someone they would all be proud of. I’m sure it’s been a struggle and I can’t imagine living thru this and being even remotely the same person I was before hand.
Doubting Thomas I know right? I find it so curious when they say thank God, who do they believe sent the tsunami? Just out of religious curiosity that is… relying on each other, compassion and kindness needs no religion.
wow i cried so hard watching this i still remember i was just a teenager when this happened. To all the survivors I hope they all feel peaceful and proud of what they achieved and not guilty for surviving.
I think it was the first event in the world that shocked me so much as a teenager, it basically traumatized me and I had nightmares about tsunamis for weeks after that.
I remember seeing footage of that tsunami a couple days after, and have always thought of that lone man surrendering to the sea. I often think of him as being "Victim #1" in a way.............. Wonder if anyone ever found out who that man was.... ~~Rest In Peace to all victims that day. ~~
I don't think he was surrendering to the sea mate I think he just had never seen nothing like that wave in he's life and didn't realise what was happening until it hit 👍but the people who died are in my thoughts and the people who survived and helped have my love and respect for life 💪 ✌ 💜 🇬🇧 👍
she’s going through survivors guilt, she might never get over it. I feel for her, that water pressure was so bad we felt if from where we were and i was only 10 at the time and that was in Kenya.
Almost 20 years since tragedy and my heart still aches for those whom died and or the survivors whom still suffer ❤️ Never foget always in our hearts and thoughts forever ♾️
@@ishotthesheriffthedeputyididnt non of this helps my anxiety of the thought of drowning. I use to be a good swimmer when I was younger but after not getting into water for a few years, this immense fear came over me and I feel so uneasy when non of my limbs can feel something stable around me and my 5year old cousin passed away from drowning🙏🏼💔 can't imagine what these poor souls went through the moment they saw the water coming towards them 😔
I was reminded recently about this. I rewatched and realized how much I’d forgotten. Tears pouring out of me watching people recounting their losses and guilt. Just a horrific tragedy.
@@alyzza1753 in terms of how powerful the earthquake was and how many people were killed, this was and i quote “the deadliest tsunami in recorded history”
Yes. 1,67,000 in Indonesia. 40,000 in Sri Lanka. 16,782 in India. 9,562 in Thailand. 5,635 in Malaysia. These are the worst hit countries by that Tsunami.
I visited a beach on Phuket 5 years ago where there was the remains of an abandoned beach side villa complex. Locals said a lot of people died there. Very sobering.
Oh that’s awful, I imagine it was very sobering. Bless their hearts, all who went through it, all lost and all who remain. I always found Thai people to be so lovely. I hope they’re healing, as much as is possible, their livelihoods and landscape/ecosystems too.
11:30 I remember it was so emotional scene in my local tv news at that time. That litte girl was found by her relatives from another city due to this scene. She lost all her family in Tsunami.
PYM, the lady who helped the injured.. what an angel.. this has really effected me while watching this.. I never knew the film impossible was based on this. My heart feels for everyone involved
Can we take a moment to appreciate all the brave souls who manage to keep filming even with all of this happening around them? It seems superfluous or even flat out dumb at the moment, but footage like this is immeasurable in value for everyone outside it to understand what happened that day
Many died doing so … nothing to appreciate or brave … reckless … the lens builds up distance and leaves those filming lacking touch with reality … its a dangerous phenomenon … yes the cameraman often dies!
Im so glad Pim fought through the survivor's guilt, i truly admire her!! The boxing day tsunami was a world disaster, people from all over the world were there vacationing! I believe there all angels now!

Yes just like those ignorant people who live in counties with fault lines. Or in the path of storms, tornadoes. It is extremely unpractical to take such a stand point. They key to minimizing loss of life is education and a proper warning system. Japan's 2011 tsunami was bigger in scale yet cost 250 times less people their lives. way more people die in traffic accidents than tsunamis, i guess only the ignorant drive too?
Woodchuckchips Chipschuckwood it's how they live they can't just walk up and take there life away to another island or some were they think it's safe nothing is safe now they have natural disasters and illness
Watching this at 2am in 2020. Heartbreaking tragedy. RIP to all the ones who passed, some in terrible ways. Hard to believe this actually happened. Love and respect to all..
when the first earthquake happen it was around midnight at malaysia..my mom feel it and call me from my bed bcoz she thought she was having headache..when i stand beside her..the second shockwave came and i also feel the shaking..the next morning i saw this news..it was heartbreaking news
20 years tomorrow since this awful tragedy. There are still many without adequate housing and unknown number of people continuing to suffer. I hope those who had to live with trauma of such an immense scale can get psychiatric help and have some sort of normality, if that is at all possible. Rest in peace those who sadly perished.
6:27 “I hope it’s quick” says that poor woman thinking she was done for. Glad she made it. CANT BELIEVE ITS BEEN ALMOST 20 YEARS since this happened. Since then some 18000 people died in the 2011 Japan 9.0 earthquake/ tsunami. This was also a very horrible event. The way Mother Nature has the power to take so many lives all at once in an instant is frighteningly awesome.
Absolutely gut wrenching...and unimaginable. I falter trying to find the adequate words for the horror that collectively traumatized so many in a matter of seconds. My heart is aching. Bless all of them forever.
I was supposed to be in Khoa Lak that Christmas. My chronic health condition meant I was feeling too ill to travel and I watched the horror unfold from Ko Tao on the East coast far far away from this hell. I've never been so grateful for my disability. It was surreal to be in paradise that Boxing Day knowing the devastation, misery and death that was happening on the other coast and being unable to do anything but offer prayers and count my blessings.
Sam Caglar So, maybe that’s kinda the point, getting more people to turn to him and pray. We all gotta go home one day, u and me both. What side of the gate do u want to be on!?
I'm sitting here in tears. I'm glad that so much good has come out of that terrible tragedy. I wish that a few people I know could talk to these brave survivors, others who lived through it all and those who rallied round to help and realise how much worse some people's lives have been than theirs so that they might do something useful with their own lives instead of complaining all the time about trivial things that really don't matter.
Watching this video brought back all those memories although I was not affected by the tsunami personally but it brings tears to my eyes seeing how hard times the families are still having with coping with the loss of their loved ones after all this time.. R.I.P. all who lost their lives those days. 😪
I can't imagine ever going to any body of water, traveling overseas, watching a disaster movie, or sleeping ever again after living through something like this 💔
14 years later. RIP to the thousands that perished and thoughts and prayers to those who survived. I don’t think I would want to survive something like that. The horror and nightmares.
I read the some of the comments before I actually watched the video and I was caught off guard by how many people said it made them cry but after watching it, I get it, watching videos is one thing but hearing these stories of abject horror, suffering, and trauma, its just heartbreaking. Rip to everyone who lost their lives on this terrible day
I am working on a research about tsunami. I remember that day but I did know something's wrong I was only 3 years old when tsunami did hit up. My uncle did survive from it by luck. What happened was, he was to get to coast part of my country, Sri lanka, at the boxing day but he had to postponed it for some reason. Even though he survived some of my relatives died. When I was trying to talk about it as I get older, no one want to talk about that horror disaster. Many people died. I can remember about couple of videos my uncle got after the tsunami. It is a mass distruction. I ask god and mother nature to not to have a tsunami again ;( Anyway thanks to sky news for helping my project.
I was living in Sarawak Malaysia at the time, and was visiting friends in the kampongs over the holidays (zero cell service). The local TV was reporting it, and it was translated to me as “Big Waves”. That was an understatement. When I got back into cell range, I had dozens of voices mails from my mother back in the states terrified that I had been washed out to sea. When I got into range of the English radio channel, did I finally realize what actually happened. I did call my mom back and let her know I was OK.
Truly, my heart goes to those affected by this tragedy, but Kim, Tristin & Louie Peatfield have touched deeply. Not a day goes by that they are in my thoughts and prayers.
Wow I feel a little better now. I think of them as well as this American family from Utah? I think. They lost their youngest daughter who was with her brother when the waves came while the rest of the family were scuba diving. Actually there are probably 4-5 I think of on a regular basis. But from the first time I saw one of the Peatfield interviews, there was something about them that made me feel..........better about everything. Look what they’ve come thru. Look where they are now. Seeing the way they look at each other, U can feel the love.
This is absolutely horrific. They are a strong people to still live on the islands/their home. I don't think I could ever continue to live in the same place where I survived something so horrific. I just finally got the courage to watch the movie, "The Impossible." I cried. The devastation was so immense. I googled the timeline and it shocked me that some places didn't get hit until an hour and half after the earthquake. Why weren't these countries warned in any way? It's just so sad
Sri lanka could have had 2 hours warning had it known about the approaching tsunami and could have saved so many countless lives in that much time to spare
What's worse is that this happened a day after Christmas, which was when people were going out to do things. The tsunami really came at such a bad time... Rest in peace to those who died. Also, I wonder how the survivors are doing nearly 20 years later...
I thimnk that SURVIVOR'S GUILT has kind of plagued ALL of humanity since proba bly this world started! And I agree with aliciaanne about Isabella's mother. She has no reason at all to feel guilty over Isabella's death.
How much we depend on our fellow human beings is what makes us human beings in the first instance. Love is the most powerful vibration on the universe.
After reading your comment again I must say love being a vibration ....well this whole fad of energy and vibration crap is hilariously misunderstood. Energy healing? Crystal's? Yikes, we need more critical thinking
Doubting Thomas Na dude u just need a “Lobotomy”! I don’t think she ment vibration literally. Just that it’s power has started wars and defeated kingdoms. Harness the power of love and the only person that can defeat u is yourself!
Rosemarie Plant refreshing comment. It breaks my heart when people set off balloons or lanterns that then only kill wildlife or contain plastics that end up in our oceans thousands of years. It doesn’t take much to make them eco-friendly, I appreciate the gesture is beautiful but not at the cost of more lives or damage to our planet.
I felt this earthquake in Ladner BC. It was Christmas Day and we were cooking dinner and I felt this deep strong wave underneath me. The water in the pot vibrating gently. I said “what was that!!??” And then my ear went all imbalanced and half my head felt like it was in a bubble or something. It was extremely uncomfortable I turned on the news to see what happened but nothing was being reported. So I felt confused because I knew I felt something bigger then anything I could imagine The next day I woke up went to the store and saw the province newspaper “240,000 dead in Indian Ocean tsunami “. Needless to say I was in shock Feeling this event from the other side of the world .... respect for the power of Earth
WHAT? U say u felt the earthquake and made the tsunami of 2004? So that would’ve been around 7-8pm ur time? I find that hard to believe. That’s like 8k miles away. A lot of folks within 500mi. had no clue there even was an earthquake! I’m not saying ur a liar, I’m just saying it’s hard to believe.
me and my family went to phuket 3 days after the tsunami. we could of been there that day however if it wasn't for my aunty wanting to spend till on xmas at home. I was only 8 at the time & was lucky to not lose family members that lived in Thailand but I still remember the thia grieving it was so sad :( r.i.p to thos who weren't lucky
Goodness, this was heartbreaking to watch 😢 I remember waking that Boxing Day and hearing news reports. It was like the universe was crying. 😢 God bless those who were lost and those who overcame and live on. 🙏🏻
Such a sad video, i remember watching it on the news on the boxing day; this video brought tears to my eyes, it certainly shows the power of mother nature and the sea.
I was thinking the same . Also that it's very hard to prevent such destruction and los of life . Sumatra just had a quake , tsunami , liquified ground and a vulcan outburst . A gruwel scenario .
Such a living painful memory of so long ago. The connectedness in humanity is all we have. Buddhism teaches compassion towards all living thing. It is my greatest hope that more and more humans integrate such a notion.
This is soo hard to watch and comprehend everyone in this situation are victims because the pressure of the water was soo excessive and strong that even holding each others hand became impossible.... I feel for these victims and survivors I really do rip to everyone gone and parished that day may your bodies RIP 😭😭😭

I can't imagine ever going to any body of water, traveling overseas, watching a disaster movie, or sleeping ever again after living through something like this 💔
Isabella parents are sooooo strong my goodness 😞❤️✊🏾
As someone who was in Sri Lanka when this happened. This is one of the worst things that one can experience.
All these years later I still brim up with tears when I hear these harrowing accounts of loved ones so cruelly lost.
May they all rest in peace. 😢
Pim and others, women and men with a heart of gold.
I survived a school shooting as a teenager. The guilt is so, so real.
14 years later. RIP to the thousands that perished and thoughts and prayers to those who survived. I don’t think I would want to survive something like that. The horror and nightmares.
20 years this year.
That lady lost both her daughters.
Her pain…. I hope she finds peace and happiness. I just wish her nothing but love 😞
She will never ever die. God bless Isabella x
The Boxing Day tsunami ten years on, watch a Sky News special report
R kelly
bruh
I read the some of the comments before I actually watched the video and I was caught off guard by how many people said it made them cry but after watching it, I get it, watching videos is one thing but hearing these stories of abject horror, suffering, and trauma, its just heartbreaking. Rip to everyone who lost their lives on this terrible day
I am working on a research about tsunami. I remember that day but I did know something's wrong I was only 3 years old when tsunami did hit up. My uncle did survive from it by luck. What happened was, he was to get to coast part of my country, Sri lanka, at the boxing day but he had to postponed it for some reason. Even though he survived some of my relatives died. When I was trying to talk about it as I get older, no one want to talk about that horror disaster. Many people died. I can remember about couple of videos my uncle got after the tsunami. It is a mass distruction. I ask god and mother nature to not to have a tsunami again ;(
Anyway thanks to sky news for helping my project.
2011 Japan tsunami: well boy sorry to hurt your feelings again...
17 years now.....still unbelievable...
This continues to break my heart in 2021.
I was living in Sarawak Malaysia at the time, and was visiting friends in the kampongs over the holidays (zero cell service). The local TV was reporting it, and it was translated to me as “Big Waves”. That was an understatement. When I got back into cell range, I had dozens of voices mails from my mother back in the states terrified that I had been washed out to sea. When I got into range of the English radio channel, did I finally realize what actually happened. I did call my mom back and let her know I was OK.
I'll never forget and I wasn't there. ..."The bell tolled..." for me too. Heart breaking.
Truly, my heart goes to those affected by this tragedy, but Kim, Tristin & Louie Peatfield have touched deeply. Not a day goes by that they are in my thoughts and prayers.
Wow I feel a little better now. I think of them as well as this American family from Utah? I think. They lost their youngest daughter who was with her brother when the waves came while the rest of the family were scuba diving. Actually there are probably 4-5 I think of on a regular basis. But from the first time I saw one of the Peatfield interviews, there was something about them that made me feel..........better about everything. Look what they’ve come thru. Look where they are now. Seeing the way they look at each other, U can feel the love.
Deeply touching. My heart goes out to all these wonderful souls who are doing so much to heal not only themselves but others too.
Watching this after just getting back from Thailand breaks my heart such nice people such a tragedy. Crying like a baby
20 years today. I was on honeymoon in Cornwall in a tiny cottage on a beach in Sennan. Remember watching with horror on the tv.
Horrifying but beautiful documentary- a testament to the soul of humanity ❤
This is absolutely horrific. They are a strong people to still live on the islands/their home. I don't think I could ever continue to live in the same place where I survived something so horrific. I just finally got the courage to watch the movie, "The Impossible." I cried. The devastation was so immense. I googled the timeline and it shocked me that some places didn't get hit until an hour and half after the earthquake. Why weren't these countries warned in any way? It's just so sad
This was in 2004, technology wasn’t how it is now.
@xpkresxlost2264 there was never a tsunami anywhere in these places so it was worse nobody knew
43:05 I know exactly what he was trying to say “Is like losing half of yourself” an experience like that will change anyone 😢
Sri lanka could have had 2 hours warning had it known about the approaching tsunami and could have saved so many countless lives in that much time to spare
It was 2004 in Asia. Technology was not at it's finest.
Its 2004, there is no twitter back then, where the world informed the second trump was shot.
Such a heartbreaking documentary. 😔😔😞😞
What's worse is that this happened a day after Christmas, which was when people were going out to do things. The tsunami really came at such a bad time... Rest in peace to those who died.
Also, I wonder how the survivors are doing nearly 20 years later...
I thimnk that SURVIVOR'S GUILT has kind of plagued ALL of humanity since proba bly this world started! And I agree with aliciaanne about Isabella's mother. She has no reason at all to feel guilty over Isabella's death.
I was only 9 when this happened. Watching this now just blows my mind at what these people suffered.
This was absolutely horrific. I remember it like it was yesterday.
💙 sending love to all those affected by PTSD from horrendous events.
Absolutely heartbreaking 😢
How much we depend on our fellow human beings is what makes us human beings in the first instance. Love is the most powerful vibration on the universe.
Amen to that!
Well said, let's rely on each other not jesus or religion
After reading your comment again I must say love being a vibration
....well this whole fad of energy and vibration crap is hilariously misunderstood. Energy healing? Crystal's? Yikes, we need more critical thinking
Unity is power.
Doubting Thomas Na dude u just need a “Lobotomy”! I don’t think she ment vibration literally. Just that it’s power has started wars and defeated kingdoms. Harness the power of love and the only person that can defeat u is yourself!
How much these PRECIOUS people suffered is almost unbearable, FATHER OF TRUTH please help them
33:16 The lanterns made me cry. I consider fire to be like the soul, so i associate the lanterns with the souls rousing to heaven
Rosemarie Plant refreshing comment. It breaks my heart when people set off balloons or lanterns that then only kill wildlife or contain plastics that end up in our oceans thousands of years. It doesn’t take much to make them eco-friendly, I appreciate the gesture is beautiful but not at the cost of more lives or damage to our planet.
I feel these people's pain - so many tragedies .... I weep for them 20 years after...
My gosh. My heart breaks thinking of the insane number of people we lost. God please rest their souls. Mother nature can truly be merciless.
There are no words for that level of devastation.
I felt this earthquake in Ladner BC. It was Christmas Day and we were cooking dinner and I felt this deep strong wave underneath me. The water in the pot vibrating gently. I said “what was that!!??” And then my ear went all imbalanced and half my head felt like it was in a bubble or something. It was extremely uncomfortable
I turned on the news to see what happened but nothing was being reported. So I felt confused because I knew I felt something bigger then anything I could imagine
The next day I woke up went to the store and saw the province newspaper “240,000 dead in Indian Ocean tsunami “.
Needless to say I was in shock
Feeling this event from the other side of the world .... respect for the power of Earth
WHAT? U say u felt the earthquake and made the tsunami of 2004? So that would’ve been around 7-8pm ur time? I find that hard to believe. That’s like 8k miles away. A lot of folks within 500mi. had no clue there even was an earthquake! I’m not saying ur a liar, I’m just saying it’s hard to believe.
me and my family went to phuket 3 days after the tsunami. we could of been there that day however if it wasn't for my aunty wanting to spend till on xmas at home. I was only 8 at the time & was lucky to not lose family members that lived in Thailand but I still remember the thia grieving it was so sad :( r.i.p to thos who weren't lucky
Goodness, this was heartbreaking to watch 😢 I remember waking that Boxing Day and hearing news reports. It was like the universe was crying. 😢 God bless those who were lost and those who overcame and live on. 🙏🏻
my aunt, my cousins, and my uncle still missing to this day, only her toddler that were in medan that day who survived
11:55 is far as I can go with this. Absolutely heartbreaking
Such a sad video, i remember watching it on the news on the boxing day; this video brought tears to my eyes, it certainly shows the power of mother nature and the sea.
I have no words. Bless all involved in this nightmare💔
And now this happened again 14yrs after. (Sep 2018)
I was thinking the same .
Also that it's very hard to prevent such destruction and los of life . Sumatra just had a quake , tsunami , liquified ground and a vulcan outburst .
A gruwel scenario .
@@helenasousa9037 this is scary
It wasn't destructive like the 2004 one.
Nothing even close to this has happened before or since.
Bless all the animals & Creatures 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was 13 years old when this happened and I remember it very well. Awful disaster.
bruh
I was 3 when it happened.
Such a living painful memory of so long ago. The connectedness in humanity is all we have. Buddhism teaches compassion towards all living thing. It is my greatest hope that more and more humans integrate such a notion.
This is soo hard to watch and comprehend everyone in this situation are victims because the pressure of the water was soo excessive and strong that even holding each others hand became impossible.... I feel for these victims and survivors I really do rip to everyone gone and parished that day may your bodies RIP 😭😭😭
no one, not even me can judge those people. WE need to get some apathy for their pain and suffering
Apathy??!
Empathy
No one, not even ME ??
I can judge that they are deeply unlucky that day...
Why the f would judgment even enter your twisted mind??
14 years today, 😭
