Before this disaster people could only imagine what a Tsunami would be like from Japanese art, but after seeing it real time it changed the whole world's perspective on how terrible they can be. A frightening event indeed.
Not as insane as world wide diarrhea death. "Diarrheal diseases are among the most common causes of death, especially in children. In 2021, around 1.2 million people died from diarrheal diseases. That was equivalent to all violent deaths combined.1 Around 390,000 of these deaths were among children and adolescents." Source, Our world in Data.
People need to remember these things! The U.S. has plenty of coastline, where things unforeseen can happen! It’s been said there’s a large nat gas field in the Atlantic if it cut loose could cause havoc. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but…..
I remember this lots of Australians go to Thailand we were on patong beach only 2months before and my sister broke her leg ,I couldn't imagine being there on Boxing day our hotel was ruined by the tsunami .
Thursday marks the 20th anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 220,000 people in multiple countries around the Indian Ocean seismologists Barry Hirshorn and executive producer/ director Daniel Bogado spoke about capturing the historic event in the National Geographic documentary “ Tsunami: Race against Time “. 🙏 😢 🌊
When things like this happens, natural disaster, nobody thanks God for it, when if anything, God would most likely b responsible, if u r a God believer. God gets all the credit for good events, but not for bad events, lol.
I remember. Couldn't bring myself to turn the Christmas lights on after that. Christmas was just over. Absolutely not trying to make it about me, just did not feel right to celebrate. So Awful.
I remember this they thought the Rubber band man on the Staples commercial was killed and Al Rooker on NBC had his family on tv the other folks didn’t matter to AL just the rubber band man .Thanks Al !
I remember watching this happen in real time. Terrifying. Crazy it's been 20 years

230,000 people killed… that’s absolutely insane

The earth itself shook for 3 seconds; something that is not discussed...much...
20 years ago?
Wow, I didn’t know that it was that long ago.
It was the most devastating disaster I’ve ever seen.
I remember this day, a girl I went to school with was there but she was a safe distance away, yeah what a crazy sight.

Not really
@ are you saying there isn’t? Where if you know facts, it’d be interesting to know!
Well, there also is the LA Palma Mega Tsunami threat that will destroy our entire East coast from Boston all the way down to Miami.
Even more deadly was the Tangshan earthquake in China in 1976, and the Bangladesh cyclone in 1970!
True, and I'm old enough to remember both of those events.
