Magnitude 9.3: at the heart of the Tsunami
Embed
- Published on Mar 13, 2026
- On December 26, 2004, while the whole world had just finished the Christmas holidays, an unprecedented natural disaster struck the countries that bathe in the vast Indian Ocean. Many Westerners deserted their daily lives to recharge their batteries in the sun, on the other side of the world.
We met up with family, friends or on honeymoon, for magical moments, in the most exotic destinations. But fate had other plans. At 7:58 in the morning, the earth began to tremble off the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Magnitude 9.3 on the Richter scale. Unheard of in living memory. A gigantic wall of water began its deadly journey on the west coast of Sumatra, to end up at the edge of the Indian Ocean, sowing death and despair.
It would leave 200,000 dead in its wake. The whole world became aware of the scale of this disaster almost instantly. Tourists' amateur cameras record live images, images that will travel around the world. Our documentary unfolds minute by minute the fate of these families who, through their holiday films, make us live their particular experience. The testimonies are poignant.
Destinies intersect. The victims are forever linked together in life and in death. We tell their stories.

Rest in Peace to my best friend Randi. Jakarta Indonesia. I searched for 2 months.i never found him. 😢. Every year same day i go back lite a candle in his memory, say a Prayer for him and everyone lost that day
I wish you healing and happiness, may you find peace.
I am so sorry. I can’t even imagine your loss.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@raulbaroffio5004 That's really sad. I'm glad you remember him. People die twice.
Once when they stop breathing and once when no-one remembers them.
Luv and Peace.
I know what it’s like to look for a friend in rebel. It’s not easy. My prayers are with you. Im sorry for your loss.🙏🏼Randi
Those elephants breaking loose from those chains absolutely broke my heart
They shouldn't be chained to begin with. Horrible humans.
@bonedust82 exactly. Its heartbreaking
@lorynvangoeverden8952 ...A lot of those places are the ones that take in orphaned elephants (Hmm, wonder why...).
If raised positively and lovingly, they'll stay, NO chains needed.
There's usually a better way to do something and chaining up any animal is most definitely not the answer.
Tal cual el humano inentedible , como la mujer seguia con la plancha eletrica en la mono ...🤦♀️🤔
Not only the chains, the sticks they used are so inhumane, but most of my tears came down, when I saw the people crying and the reunited families. Some people may think, how can someone filming at that time, but I think, they have done a great work, because we can see what happened and learn how to react in a incident like that. Learn from the elephants and the people who reached higher places immediately. Seeing and reading the signs of nature, helps in forthcoming situations like these. No one was warned, but they had the technology to know what could happen. Don’t trust the officials, use your own sins!
i lived there, in Banda Aceh at the time. it was horrible! i lost my mom. we didn't find her body. some said the red cross found her and brought he to a mass grave yard.
one of the people on the roof across the house of that doctor is my sister's friend. she ran away together with her family hand in hand but she lost them one by one. she survived alone. similar thing happened to one of my classmate he was swept away to a palm tree.
and oh the nightmare when the school starts again in the next few months! we cried from each other's stories on that day while figuring out who of our friends survived or not. :(
Very touching statement. God bless all of you. Wish you could have been in this documentary. Your story is as real as it gets.
Recibe mi saludo fraterno de condolencias por tu pueblo. Es un paraíso. Espero tengas larga vida
God bless you
Im extremely sorry for your life . Perhaps God will take mercy and protect your sanity. It has made me cry for you and your little friends. ❤
и во всем виноваты французы они приехали и привезли собой грехи войны
Always listen to the animals, they have a better sense of danger than humans. They warn us but some people are too dumb to understand! Also if you see a really huge wave, why just stand there? Where do you think that wave is ending up? If I ever see water going back I would right away get my kids and get out running because you know that’s a sign of disaster.
I'm glad the elephants managed to save themselves.Animals should never be chained or caged for human amusement
Agreed 100%
Absolutely. This whole video was heartbreaking, buy thinking about those poor animals chained was really disturbing.
@marilynkirby-roach187 Nature created them with the instinct of survival but Humans prevent it.
THAT IS WHY I WROTE IN SPANISH TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THIS TWO BASTARDS HAD THESE BEAUTIFUL
CREATURES IN CHAINS..SOMEBODY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT...AND I BET SAME VILLAGE STILL HAS PROBABLY ANIMAL IN CHAINS
❤
That’s amazing that the elephants know not only that a tsunami is coming, but even what to do in order to stay safe. I love to know how they’re able to do that
I’ve read somewhere or heard that their feet are able to feel vibrations for miles…when you hear elephants deep rumble, it’s believed that other elephants can feel their rumbles from miles away or at the least far distances. I can’t ember where I heard this. I know it was on here RUclips but it was years ago and it was something that just stuck in my head. I could be completely wrong too so don’t quote me. Either way what you said is right! Elephants and animals are amazing at knowing when danger is near.
Another American who has not done his job and has not alerted the population. The United States is the shame of this world
@sudsforcleaning5735 is ember short for remember or ???😅
@sudsforcleaning5735 You’re correct. What the elephants are feeling thru their feet are subsonic waves of sound that we can’t hear or feel.
….. si chiama istinto ❤
The terrifying thing is how unbelievably quick it happens with only seconds to run.
@strongestnattyever-videos2247 Don't be an @sshole. For all we know you learned at the same time we did, the correlation between earthquakes and tsunami and you want to make us believe you knew that ages before this event. You can't be smart enough to have had known that before this event and at the same time, make a irresponsible comment like that.
@strongestnattyever-videos2247 The next time something happens to you, think of this comment you made. Nothing in live can truly prepare you, stay humble.
great documentary…very sad though
海なし県に生まれた時から住んでいるけど、海が引いたら逃げ出せと何度も聞いたことが有る。
Those poor elephants could sense tragedy was about to hit
😔
That's so interesting to me... I'm a firm believer that with all the comforts of civilization, humans have lost this internal sense almost like way that animals communicate telepathically. I think we have lost hunting and our old strategic ways that animals still use and maybe it's just something that you lose if you don't use and we have lost it over many generations of evolving
@MyCatHatesPhish Nah, humans have exploited everything possible since the beginning of our existence. Humans have created the hell on earth for pretty much every species including ourselves. We don't have some "unique" way to decipher animal behavior and its certainly not a genetic thing.
In 1969, we had a huge earthquake that devastated a few cities. Animals reacted strangely even a few days prior. Their sensory perception is much finer tuned than ours. My border collie knew a day in advance when thunder brewed in clear, blue skies. Always pay attention to animal behaviour changes.
Bonjour Isis, oui les animaux ont un sixième sens il faut y prêter attention c’est impressionnant
GOD gave Animals a six sense to feel danger.
6:38 Like what?? This is a serious documentary but this had me rolling 😂😂
Obrigado
God bless you. Jesus saves sinners
6:36 That dub broke me
This documentary shows some raw footage I've never seen before. Mother nature is so powerful 😢
Tu métonnes que les peuples la divinisaient des millénaires durant.
Si totusi,dacă mama natură, a fost provocata? Dacă seismologul din Hawaii, care recunoaste cu nonșalanță că a greșit.?..dacă au reusit să mute axa pământului...? .nu stiu, prea multe coincidențe ... sunt prea multe.
Mil gracias excelente documental 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Doga ana degil Allahin gucu
Power is not belong to the mother nature but the creator of it.
All documentaries need to be produced like this one. Like most people said this is the best one I seen on this topic.
Well fortunately, these types of natural disasters occur few and far between. The fact that the digital camera was more accessible and being used to document this once in a lifetime time event allowed it possible to re-tell the confusion and mayhem that was surrounding the living and forcing the living to watch people lose their lives again and again, as insult to injury, the survivor had to live amongst the dead . The word humbled was never more relevant. RIP and may those who survived may you find peace, in some way.
@PaulPoulson-t9twas narrating clear English into unclear English.
Not a fan, they’re using AI.

@KIRALYW I know, it's eye-rolling to hear French words with european accents but English phonetics (i.e. "buffet" as "Buffit", etc.) not to mention Ko-FYE FYE over and over. It was still interesting, but AI is already wearing thin.
@dcoff2I thought they were speaking Donald Trump… “Covfefe”.
Hard to believe it’s been over 20 years since this happened.
Still feels pretty fresh in my mind.
Why was she holding an iron? 18:17
😅😅.mngkin hrga nya sngt mhal sekali
I was one of the first medical teams called to the disaster at 9-11, I can tell you these people even the doctor will live with this trauma for the rest of their lives. My prayers go out to all the people who lost loved ones. Just heartbroken watching this.
so sorry ...
9-11 это был управляемый промышленный снос зданий, которую организовали "ваши" спецслужбы.
Mi país, Chile es muy terremotiadio como decimos nosotros . Hemos tenido grandes catástrofe terremotos ,maremoto s se han desaparecido pueblos ,primero viene el temblor luego el maremoto ,Chile a tenido terremotos, los más fuerte en el mundo se han desaparecido pueblos enteros por las aguas ,es una cosa terrible ya que se pierde todo ,y muchas vidas . El último que nosotros vivimos ,fue terrible ya que no se puede hacer nada estas totalmente desprotegida.
You sick Russian bot @IM-cz7sf
@mariaeacevedo8769Do you have a warning system in place? Does the government at least have a way of warning the people of chilli that a tsunami is on its way, giving you a chance to get to higher ground?
Why do they still allow these people to chain up elephants 😢 😡 ?
I will never forget my mother screaming at the tv. I was 19 at the time. I walked in the room and seen the footage on tv. We both wept and held our family close. We prayed and cried for those people. I’ve survived hurricane Katrina. My home and everything I owned was destroyed but to me this tsunami has been the worst disaster in my lifetime.
Surviving Katerina was probably not an easy feat. Thank you for sharing this and sorry to hear you and your relatives had to go thru such an ordeal. I agree, even the Tsunami in Indonesia in terms of damage and victims is the worst disaster i seen in my lifetime as well.
When i was a kid i had seen the eruption of Mount Helens on tv.. we don't have any volcanoes in Belgium here.. so as a child .. that left a serious impression on me. I was only 6 so it was otherworldly to see that kind of footage.. the endless stream of flattened trees floating like toothpicks, houses floating, crashing under bridges... the plume of ash.. I was too small to fully grasp this. You guys go thru some serious stuff from time to time.
and what did these prayers do for the lost lives? please tell me I'm just curious..
@caLLmeGoodRiddance being smart requires that I see the benefits and the costs in all my behaviors.
The definitions of any one word will very greatly from person to person.
I dropped all my beliefs 6.5 years ago and dedicated my time to knowledge.
Physics is the way laws interact with each other.
Prayer to one is mouthing some script.
To those who know, prayer is using imagination and emotions to manifest an outcome.
I realized at some point that than can be more than one right answer to some of the Great conundrums of our intelligent universe.
I need to remember not to throw the baby out with the bath water
@caLLmeGoodRiddancesi tu lis le nouveau testament DIEU n’aura aucune pitié à la fin des temps les gens d’aujourd’hui n’ont plus de pitié ni aucune compassion il suffisait de vivre en paix pour qu’aucune mort ne soit déploré. Il suffisait seulement de vivre dans l’amour et en paix mais nous être humain nous avons choisi d’écouter nos gouvernements au lieu d’écouter DIEU je préfère prier avec l’espoir que mes proches atteints le paradis dans un monde magnifique que de me dire qu’ils sont dans l’atrocité de l’enfer sans mes prières 😊😊😊
Luckily they translated English into English. Anyway, it's 21 years ago now as of 2025, but it is still so horrible. My hope is that improved disaster warning systems will prevent a recurrence.
Fantastic documentary. So many scenes and eye witnesses I’ve never seen before. Well done.
This was hard to watch 😣
Took me 6 months to pluck the courage to watch it, as I lost 3 family members that day.
Was so pleased to hear that many did survive but the horror stories they tell will never leave me...
Just thinking of how my relatives may of passed😢
Sad sad disaster, prays 🙏 to all that were affected.. Keep smiling (my motto) 💓 x
I sat on many of the beaches in deep thought about all of those who died. I am not religous, but I still wanted to let them know they are not forgotten.
Q
Umarım bir daha böyle acılar yaşamazsın... Allah-u Teâlâ'yı tanımak için çabala geri kalan hayatında... Her şey gönlünüzce olsun
… So so sorry for your loss 😔
Prayers to you 🙏 and God bless your families souls ..
Rip 😢 🙏
Animals will always be the best warning system. And I think we also feel it, we just need to learn again how to use and understand our senses.
Many people had nightmares the night before. I believe God was warning them. But people don't know the voice of the Lord.
@kingsvideotoursthat’s not what he means birdbrain
He means we ALL have the ability to sense these things not just a select few.
@johnpablo2772 I know what he meant, genius. And also meant what I said.
@johnpablo2772 I’d call you a bird brain but that would be too generous
To bad these people “ chain” their “ warnings system” to trees!!! Maybe that’s why nature is punishing them !
I haven't seen this video and brought back the memories of that time and how grateful I am that I survived. I had just gotten out of the boat in Ranong when the waves got everyone on the dock. 2 minutes saved my life. 😢
You were on the doc when this happened? Iḿ so sorry you had to see this!
I fell so sorry for you, did I you lose any family or friends when it happened?
No, I was alone but thanks for asking.
I was in California years ago rescuing animals after some wildfires. We went up a dirt road to look for anyone needing help. One way in and out. As we were almost to the top we hear a crazy loud sound and a massive sequoia fell behind our truck just missing us. It’s crazy how just a few seconds and a few minutes can change your life for ever ❤
@AdhdKarissa glad you were ok!
I think the movie “The impossible” was made because of this, I recommend it to the people that are brave to watch things like this
The poor elephants. To be chained when they sense a disaster is terrifying for them.
@ASTROASADUCKY are you also always too think off the animals when something is happening?? thats the first thing that cross my mind by war..nature disasters...poor animals
@w.h5916 Yeah me too :(
I didn’t like how they reenacted that scene and made the Elephant strain against the chain until it broke.
Ooooohhh booohooo lady actual PEOPLE lost their lives !!!
@YoMoma-u2z who gives a fuck about people .there are to many on this planet
bonjour, c'est la première fois que j'ose m'exprimer, j'étais sur le plage de Pathong sur l'ile de Pukhet, vingt après je suis toujours traumatisée, j'étais tout simplement en vacances .. et j'ai vécu des scènes de guerres, retrouver nos défunts et les autres rangés par couleur, dans la brume des pains de glace, j'ai perdu mon compagnon je l'ai retrouvé le 29 décembre le jour de mon anniversaire, ce documentaire m'a beaucoup apporté, bien sur j'ai suivi une psychothérapie etc .. mais ce qui m'a toujours manqué c'est ces bruits de chaines que j'ai entendu mais pas vu ! grâce à votre reportage j'ai pu mettre une image sur ces sons c'était les éléphants depuis j'ai progressé merci pour votre reportage qui m'aide à me reconstruire 20 ans après
Sorry for your loss hope you find closure and peace.
Little promises utube videos
Prophetess prophecys have already came to pass.
Please watch
God bless you
omg i m so sorry .. keep going and be strong.. so many ppl they died..this is terrible..
Bonjour, je viens de regarder le reportage et j'ai 😢...C'est bien de mettre des mots sur votre douleur. Je suis vraiment triste pour vous et je vous souhaite la paix dans votre coeur ❤ Biensur la vie ne peut être comme avant, mais justement profitez de la vie. (Le papa de ma fille etait vers Pukhet.Je crois, il a appeler le 3 ou 4 ieme jour après et je l'ai engeuler... Je ne croyais pas, qu'il a pas pu trouver un telephone., je ne me rendez pas compte...et ma fille etait si inquiete. 1:16:46 Prennez soin de vous❤
Je ne sais pas, pourquoi il y 1:16:46. Je les effacées et après avoir poster je revoie les chiffres...
J'étais a Koh phi phi avec deux amis ce jour la. Même la plus dure de nos OPEX n'étais rien comparé a ce que nous avons vécue ce jours là.
Nous en sommes sortis vivant, mais ........
Que toutes les victimes reposent en paix.
Vous avez servi où ?
نحن المسلمين نقول ان الأجل وصل للرحيل للدار الأخرى .
Yes, you came out alive, but you have been suffering emotionally mentally since that day. How could you not? It was horrific the sites that you saw, the smells that you had to smell, the pure unreasonable site that you had to witness is something that we’re not made to experience and yet there you were having to experience it. I know that it’s been 20 years, but I hope that you have gone for help in dealing with this day as you cannot heal on your own. On December 26, 2024 I hope that you do something that will take your mind off of what happened. You’re not ignoring what happened you’re just putting it in its place and you’re moving on. Do something that is totally opposite of what you were doing that day. Go play football with a bunch of buddies. Just do something that will help you stay relaxed that day. I wish you all the best.
Kedves Kommentelo!🥰
Budapestrol irok.
Melyen megrenditettek a latottak😔😭🙏
De szeretettel , fajdalommal irom, hogy csak az pihenhet bekeben a halalban, akinek az eleteben Jezus Krisztus volt az Ur.🙏
Az a halalaban is , O vele van!
De akiben nem elt Jezus Krisztus az eleteben, annak fajo, de nincs bekesseges pihenese a halal utan sem.😢😔
Ha befogadtuk Jezus Krisztust, a halalunk utan is orok beke var rank!🙏❤
Mert O a mi bekessegunk akar elunk, akar meghalunk!🙏
Szivembol, nagy szeretettel kivanom minden embertarsamnak a Vele valo udvozito talalkozast!🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
@laszloneperei6769Христос отдал свою жизнь , чтобы мы жили.
Aku terkenang tsunami di banda aceh karena baru saja terjadi banjir bandang di aceh juga. Dulu umurku 9 tahun. Skrg sudah punya dua anak yang masih kecil2. Saat banjir bandang kupeluk dua2nya, kuikat kuat2 sambil berenang bersama suami. Pasrah pada Tuhan. Alhamdulillah kami selamat walau harta tak ada sisa.
It's been more than 20 years, but I had never watched some of that footage before.
Les elephants j espere seront ecoutes la prochaine fois que ca arrivera...Ce sont des animaux extraordinaire❤
Et les oiseaux aussi : ils étaient partis.
Être proche de la nature permet de "l'entendre" et s'interroger.
@annavolpe8510 c est vrai...mais ils sont discret. L elephant fait plus de bruit et son tres demonstratif de leur etat de peur.
@ChrisATHE sûr. La base est l'attention portée à un changement
Anormal de l'environnement. Mais il est vrai que l'affolement des éléphants auraient dû interpeler au moins les cornacs habitués à leurs animaux.
Avec le recul, il nous est facile d'y penser mais peut-être qu'à leur place nous n'y aurions pas fait attention.
s'ils les touristes pouvaient arrêter avec les éléphants enchainés, regardez la torture qu'ils subissent au plus bas âge, beaucoup en meurent... Regardez, c'est horrible!!!
ils n'ont rien appris du tout , tout a été reconstruit au meme endroit, c'est deja oublié et entéré depuis longtemps cette histoire de tsunami.
I was in a detox that day 20 years ago... no tv, no news... I had no idea. There I was, feeling like my life was "over." Been alive AND sober since then. Life is so strange.
Congrats
La c'est passé juste et très bonne 🏠 merci au père pour ces réflexe et sa 🏠 balèze
Ils se mettent à l'abri et deux personnes meurent d'une morsure de cobra... l'horreur 😢
He visto todo el documental y no hay desperdicio en toda esta información, que conmocionado me siento 😢
20 years ago today. Wow, amazing how time flies. This is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched on this horrific event. RIP to all the victims. 🙏🏼
😢🥺😮💨🕊
Prayer to the families of the lost and thoes who have died 🙏🏿 😢 I just watched the movie the impossible 🙏🏿 😢 so 😨 scary
@marywilson6354, praying is a pointlessly exercise. And it doesn't bring back thd dead.
NOSOTROS ACÁ EN CHILE PERDIMOS A LA RECIÉN CASADA FRANCISCA COOPER SU PADRE VIAJÓ A PHUCKET Y LOGRÓ TRAER SU CUERPO A SANTIAGO DE CHILE

I am so so sorry and pray for better warnings of earthquakes and tsunamis.🙏🙏♥️♥️
Yes, they have now placed an alarm system.
@yolandagofigure so God didnt save them and now they relay on science?Hmmm...
We watch Dutchinese for EQ knowledge and warnings. EQuakes are hitting across the United States from California (which is a prepped state) to Tennesse, NJ, Pa...not structural or prepared for EQ
Paix aux âmes des disparus 🤍🕊️🕯️on se souvient
Oh mon Dieu! ça fait 20 ans mais j'en pleure à regarder ça tellement c'était l'horreur. Tous ces morts ! Qu'ils reposent en paix. Force à tous ceux qui ont vécu de près ou de loin ce traumatisme🙏 Merci pour ce reportage afin qu'on se souvienne des disparus, qu'on n'oublie pas la force la férocité de la nature et qu'on soit humbles sur cette terre.
Не "смиренно", а с великим почт ением, благодарностью и береж ливостью!
😊
Ваш комментарий очень соответствует моим чувствам, спасибо
Me pregunto,que sentirá ese Dios que nombras al ver tanto dolor y no hace nada...
Sim😢
o şiddetli depremden sonra düğüne gidebilmek cidden cesaret işi.
This is the best first account documentary of the 2004 tsunami i've seen. Well done!
God rest the souls of all the victims of that horrific disaster.
🙏
Agreed 👍
Yes it’s really good as is the movie about the Brittish family where mom is a doctor. That it is called The impossible. Amazing movie, very touching and based on a true story.
The Thai people were so gracious and helpful I heard.
I hear Swedish screams. Like ’Titta’ (look) and ’jag vet Inte’ (I don’t know). People are bewildered of course.
Этот фильм-сплошная боль. Впервые вижу эту катастрофу глазами туристов. Это кошмар!
300 тясяч тогда погибло.
Пока мы смотрим этот фильм, многие продолжают и сегодня погибать в катаклизмах. И цикл глобальных климатических изменений в который мы уже вошли только начинает набирать обороты. Если мы как человечество также останемся стоять на берегу и наблюдать за происходящим, нас ждёт такая же участь. Нам всем необходимо создавать главную повестку дня, для политиков, учёных, сми, что нам необходимо создать единый научный центр, где учёные будут думать как минимизировать воздействие стихии и снизить риски больших человеческих потерь. Уже есть необходимые технологии. Учёный Эгон Чолакян , очень хорошо объясняет что ждёт чел-во в ближайшее время, он стучится во все двери, ко всем политикам, президентам, Сми, до каждого здравомыслящего и неравнодушного человека с просьбой распространить эту информацию. Предупреждён = Вооружён. 🙏🏼🥰🥰
@annastasiya286 - Forty years ago their should have been a Manhattan type project (like you suggest) for a world-wide effort to develop better/cleaner energy systems and propulsion systems. By then even the oil and coal companies had produce research papers showing the dangers of burning tons of fossil fuels daily on climate change.
Ce film est terrifiant. . Je m'en souviens car je regardais les actualités de la France. je pense que les rescapés sont traumatisés à Vie. Conclusion : Éviter de partir en vacances au bord de l'océan indien 😢
@annastasiya286enquanto isso os fabricantes de vacinas criam "coisas" com grafeno só para matar mais de 1 milhão de pessoas.... é a vida ...
Since this disaster I was surprised at all the ppl around the world that had no idea that this was the signs of a tsunami. Lots of people said they didn’t learn about them until they were adults. Or until a tragedy like this happened. I remember being a little girl in school in the mid 70s learning about tsunami’s and particularly about how the water will recede and that’s the sign you need to get out of there.
Prior to this Tsunami, it wasn’t thought of as a possibility in the Indian Ocean. They didn’t even have a Tsunami warning center, or the means by which to detect them. The locals probably never learned about them, and the tourists were mostly from Europe (visiting Thailand is a very cheap vacation traveling from most European countries).
Obviously, North and South America have a Pacific Coast, where tsunamis are frequent, at least by historical standards, so it makes sense that people here know a little more about them.
@ wait what? Just because they don’t occur doesn’t mean they wouldn’t learn about them correct? At least at some point in time in school years. Edit to add, I grew up where there was no risk of a tsunami or earthquake. Still learned about it in elementary school.
@kellymurphy6642 you grew up in Thailand or Indonesia? Have you ever been there? That’s a VERY ethnocentric world view.
@aarons.7271 พูดตอนนี้มันก็พูดง่ายไปหมด เขาไม่เคยมาอยู่ด้วยซ้ำ และแน่นอน ชายหาดประเทศไทยมีแต่ชาวยุโรป แต่ก็นั่นแหละ ชาวยุโรปก็เห็นน้ำลด และก็ยังวิ่งไปจับปลา จับหอยกันเพียบ ก็ไม่เห็นมีใครจะรู้ว่าจะเป็นสึนามิ
@kellymurphy6642same
Tout mon respect a ceux qui sont restes sur place pour aider les Thai avec les morts et les blessés😢
Oui dommage que le reportage n'en parle pas.
Très peu sont restés. Ils sont tous partis "choqués", laissant tous ces gens dont beaucoup qui les ont aidés, dans leur misère et leur deuil. Les "vacances" avaient mal tournés, rentrer dans le confort était leur seule réaction. La solidarité, pour les "Thaïs", elle a été microscipique.
@creuvette29 @creuvette29 D'après ce reportage, il n'y avait que des touristes dans ces lieux ravagés. Bien secoués, on est d'accord. beaucoup ont perdu des proches et eux, je peux comprendre. Les autres... Le peu de personnes qui sont restées pour aider, c'était inimaginable. Comme si les Thaïs n'étaient rien, leur paradis était devenu l'enfer "pour le touriste", vite partir. Le Thaï pouvait rester dans ses morts et son enfer.
@krapoutchik1ليست لدبنا معلومات حولهم .
D'ailleurs on ne voit pas beaucoup d'otoctones sur la vidéo... Que les occidentaux et à la fin, 3/4 thaï!! 😢
The best documentary on tsunami that I watched...
....... on tsunami's victims ...
Конечно, столько смертей и разрушений... Вы настоящий людоед! 🤣🤣🤣
True. It’s only a month old and already has over two million views.
Упаси,Бог!Всех жителей планеты от природных катаклизмов😢!
Убереги деток🙏!!!
Ditto
Много людей видели отступление моря и никто не захотел подумать о ЦУНАМИ! Ни одного крика:ЦУНАМИ !
Тайцы ,владельцы отелей,тоже не в курсе, молодёжь не изучает историю!Все помешаны на накопительстве и работе !Храни нас всех Господи!
لا أتفق معك ! مؤشرات التسونامي لا ندرسها في المدارس ؛ ولذلك فالناس لا يعرفونها ، بمن فيهم السكان المحليون .
بالمقارنة في صيف احدى السنوات كان اهل مدينة مراكش يتبردون في نهر جبلي حتى سمعوا من يصيح بلغة القبيلة المحلية بكلمة لم يفهوها حتى وصلت مياه الفيضان التي أخدت اغلبية الناس الذين لم يفهموا ، ولم يتبعوا الذين فهموا وصعدوا الى المرتفعات القريبة : مذعورين !
Это мы сейчас знаем что это первый признак. Когда есть Ютюб и такие док фильмы. Но у меня все равно те же мысли. Как так вышло что тайцы об этом не знали
Если бы специалист из Тихоокеанского центра по предупреждению цунами Барри Х. был немного умнее, то смертей было бы намного меньше. Это плохой профессионал, неумный и недалекий! 🤬🤬🤬
Там был тяжелый грех. А грех рождает смерть, без разницы какие там могли быть специалисты.
@ВалентинГрушевский Jeder kann sich als Spezialist betiteln, auch wenn er von der Sache keine Ahnung hat. Und dieser hatte null Ahnung von der Materie. Leider.
Such a heartbreaking but important story. This video was put together so well; I'm glad the story was through the eyes of several survivors and from the vantage of several places. My heart goes out to all of the survivors and victims ❤
私は当時、このニュースを日本で観て大きなショックを受けました。
何故なら私は家族と1年前にプーケット島とピピ島を訪れていたから…
私の大切な思い出も全て大津波に飲み込まれて消えてしまった感覚になりました…
実際に、私たち家族が宿泊したバンガロータイプの部屋は跡形もなくなったと思いました…
そして賑やかだった土産物屋の通りも、そこで働いていた人々の多くも亡くなってしまいました…
私たちに親切にしてくれたホテルの従業員の方々も…
この時に犠牲になられた大勢の方々のご冥福を心からお祈りいたします🙏
Uhh….. ok.
🎉🎉🎉
@strongestnattyever-videos2247
Are YOU ok? They share a memory, but taunting them is odd
@Cedarwudduhhh………. Ok
Those elephants knowing what was coming to think how these animals are so beautiful so kind gentle and smart they know so much more than we do.
They deserve better condition and better life, not to be chained to the tree. There is so much we can learn from them
@ @ yes they do 💔 but what really astonishes me here is that they stay with the people afterwards… when they were faced with the danger they sensed all of them broke the chains easily so I wonder why on earth do they choose to stay?!?
@millyroberta7234 Mental abuse is as bad or worse than physical! The same reason abused women stay with their abusers..they likely don't think they deserve anything better because it's all they've known for so long! It's beyond infuriating and I personally pray there's a seat saved in hell for anyone abusing anything!
We need to learn from animals, NOT CHAIN THEM. Animals are more knowledgeable than humans.
@monicavv2000 don’t be stpid can you get a cat rocket scientist or giraffe working as a mechanic they chained to tree we took over the world
Этот погонщик просто обязан освободить из цепей тех , кто спас ему жизнь. Бедные животные у которых раны на коже ног .
Thank you for translating the English into English so that we can understand it. That made perfect sense...
👌
The most frightening scene was at Banda Aceh. It was the biggest nightmare to me. That 10 or 15 foot churning mass of splintered wood, the remains of the homes that were ripped apart. So much of it that the top was like a raft, with people climbing around on it. They were trying to get to some where they could climb off to safety. Anyone who fell into the water had no chance of survival at all. It didn’t matter if they could swim. With all that churning, splintered wood and sheets of tin from the roofs of homes a person would be torn to pieces in seconds. That scene will remain, stuck in my memory forever.
True..ITS not only the Giant wave that make it dangerous but also all debriss that can cut people into pieces..its proven after the disaster end, a lot of human body parts found and a lot of victims body still not found until today😢
yup. i was at that bridge 8:01. me and my siblings just escaped the water from the area where we lived. we saw people are flocking at this bridge so we stopped by and take a look.
some got to the top of the floating debris and people are trying to help them out. some fell back into the water then more and more debris kept coming piling up on top of them. some survived but some... well a lot of things in there that can stab you or tear your limbs apart, or just stuck under there until your lungs give out :(
oh, when i was about to leave the bridge trying to figure out where to go next, somebody was shouting that there is a baby among the debris. then another person shouting the baby's alive. then the first person who saw the baby jumped to get the baby with no hesitation. luckily he managed to get the baby up on the bridge safely. what a horrific day of my life. i lost my mom that day.
My condolences. Are you doing okay? I'm sure she's in a better place now.@satya4690
@satya4690 Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your loss. May your mom find peace in heaven.🙏
คิดสภาพอินโดไม่ออกเลย ผมเป็นอาสากู้ภัยหลังเหตุการณ์ ขนาดประเทศไทยแค่7,000ศพ ผมเดินไปทางใหน กองไม้ ใต้ตึกมีแต่ศพ ขนาดเดินบนทรายยังเหยีบศพ ไม่อยากจะคิดถึงAceh เลยเป็นแสนคน จะใช้เวลากู้ภัยขนาดใหน ทุกวันนี้ประเทศไทยยังศูนย์หายไปกว่า 3,000ที่ทุกวันนี้ ยังหาไม่เจอ 😢 ขอแสดงความเสียใจด้วยนะครับ ผมมาถึงวันแรกสติแตก ขาสั่น มือชาไปหมด
Берегите Люди друг друга!!!!!!!!!
Rip in peace to all that passed on and my sincere condolences to all my fellow humans that lost their loved ones.😢
Era bom um desse
Aqui nok Brasil na Paraíba em João pessoa
Le pire est pour les victimes et leurs familles et pour les natifs de ces îles ils ont tout perdu des membres de leurs familles leurs villes leur travailles leurs maisons
The first documentary I ever watched, where I feel like the narrator is YELLING AT ME THE ENTIRE TIME!!
That, and they're dubbing in English over people who are already speaking English. It's bizarre.
@kitgrrrl it’s originally in french, if you choose “french original” you can hear what it actually sounded like. the narrator still sounds like he’s yelling though
Mon dieu quelle horreur ils on du vivrent ceux qui étaient sur place et tous ces morts le pire est que c est arrivé d un coup les catastrophes naturelles sont et seront toujours incontrolables.
This is the best documentary on this and I think I've seen most. It was the first mention of the snakes the night on the hill and the aftermath
This was a very powerful documentary. Its very rare for a film maker to be able to show the emotion such as this. Good job. Rip to those lost
I was just commenting something close to this.
Except for the part where they dubbed over the completely comprehensible girl with a terrible voice actor 🙄
Cholerne rekla cholerne reklamy nawet nie mają wstydu żerować na tragedii
Agree 100%
I guess we have good documentaries in France because it looks very standard to me
I was on the beach in Balneário Camboriu, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
I remember the sea receding quite a bit, a small wave of half a meter coming after a few minutes, taking all the umbrellas and belongings of everyone on the beach, going over all the sand and flooding the road beyond the sand. It wasn't big, but I remember it. And days later we learned that there had been a tsunami in other parts of Thailand.
So scary
Tmj parceiro, que ano foi isso?
Escreve em português. Pra eles tem o Google tradutor também
Nossa, lembro desse ocorrido aqui no Brasil 😢
The elephants knew! Always listen to the animals.
Если видите, что вода уходит резко, в то время, как обычно этого не происходит, отвязывайте слонов и бегите в гору.
The elephants heard the birds gone
❤DIOS MIO, DIOS MIO❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
There are events in history that we can never erase from our minds.. This is one of them... :(
Когда произошло это землетрясение, мы группой студентов находились в институте вулканологии на Камчатке😮. Нам показывали старинные методы изучения сперва, а потом нас повели в современные кабинеты с компьютерами и там как раз фиксировалось это землетрясение😮.... Мы ничего не поняли, но ученые были озадачены этим, но удивлены, как будто не могли представить, что это такое на самом деле... Просто мы ушли домой и потом смотрели новости по всем каналам с видео.. Это был шок😮
Привет с Камчатки 🌋🌋🌋
😢
Потому что это был взрыв подводный,а не землетрясение
@НатальяВедерникова-я4т What do you mean?
@НатальяВедерникова-я4тне взрыв. Одна плита наехала на другую плиту. Под водой. И пошло смещение водной массы
que tristeza porque en cadena alos elefante🐘 ellos estaban avisando del sunami 💔💔😭😭🙏🙏🙏🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴💔
I will never forget this. Those poor people and animals.
✝️🧡🙏🏻
Au début des années 80 au lycée, j’avais appris en cours que lorsqu’on voyait la mer se retirer, il fallait vite détaler et rejoindre un point élevé. Curieusement, personne n’était au courant sur ces îles
J'ai la même connaissance que vous, en plus je suis prof de SVT, donc c'est un sujet qu'on aborde chaque année en parlant des séismes. Pourtant je me demande si, en n'ayant rien senti de la secousse, étant donné l'infime probabilité que ça arrive dans une vie, on se mettrait forcément à avoir le bon réflexe, ou alors pas aussi vite qu'on le pense. L'incompréhension de l'instant... Je sais pas. On se plaît à croire qu'on ferait ce qu'il faut, mais souvent on se méprend sur la réalité.
Si une jeune adolescente sur une petite île avait eu cette info en cour de science au collège et a alertée ses parents et les dirigeants d'hôtel et grâce à cette gosse beaucoup on été sauvés
Oui on me l'a toujours dit aussi
Cette jeune fille s’appelle Tilly smith une gamine britannique pour info
😢❤
It is 20 years ago. I still remember waking up to the news. My thoughts with all who lost loved ones. ❤
0:52 0:57 1:16 1:37
Yes 20 years and I still think about this horrible disaster whenever the Cascadia mega event is meationed .. it could happen again here in the U.S affecting as far away as Japan. I pray the early warning systems work and people heed them.
Its amazing that so many people did not know to run away when the water was subsiding out into the Ocean, I was taught about this as a child growing up in the Pacific N.W.
Pourquoi atrache ces pauvres éléphants.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Effroyable tsunami cest horrible, qu'elle vague 🌊 gigantesque. Dommage quils ne sont pas detectable plus tot que les gens puissent fuir et se proteger. 😢
Grace aux éléphants ils ont ete sauves .!
Respectez et aimez les animaux comme eux nous aiment ❤🙏
Une pensée a toutes ces pauvres victimes .
😢
Les éléphants pas attachés iraient tout le temps en forêt pour manger ...
Certains recommandent de placer des aquariums avec des poissons-chats, dont les longues moustaches sentent les tremblements de l'eau, dans tous les bâtiments communaux (pompiers, police, écoles, etc.)
Oui les éléphants ne doivent pas être attachés.
@paulinesimon2257 C'est une bonne idées et écolo.
C'est tout ce que tu as trouvé 250.000 morts et tu viens nous baver un truc sur les éléphants attachés 🤬
Toutes mes sincères condoléances c'est impensable de tel catastrophique naturelle 🤍🤍🤍💐💐💐🕊️🕊️🕊️🌺🌺🌺
Животные умнее людей.
Животные в миллион раз лучше людей.
Thank you so much for allowing english subtitles. A truly riveting documentary. I can’t imagine surviving the horror of that day, only to be killed by a snake that night. Near the end, when a Dad was crying, leaning into his wee son (on a bus?), the look in that boys eyes, utter shock. I hope he got the help he needed.
Doubtful.😢
You are safe, that is a blessing❤
The subtitles on this are weird though... half the time they don't make sense and sometimes they dub people even when they're speaking in English already and then change what they're saying 😂
私は日本人です。東日本震災の時は神奈川県Yokohamaに居ました。地震は震度6くらいだと思いますが家が倒壊するかと思うほどの揺れでした。凄く怖くてテレビをつけると東北地方の震度9と言う地震だと分かり、リアルタイムでTSUNAMIの状況をみて居ました。その後も震度5．6の地震が何度も起こりました。TSUNAMIは全てを破壊し、そして海へさらって行く…地震よりも恐ろしいものです。日本は地震は避けられない国なので地震に備えて避難の準備をして居ます。地震はの震度が低いからと安心しないで下さい。お亡くなりになった被害者の方々のご冥福を、そして幸運にも生存が出来た方、世界の皆様に伝えて下さい「地震より怖いのはTSUNAMI」だと❗️
Hola
Wouahou😮.. Courage pour le traumatisme
震度とマグニチュードがごっちゃになってません？ 震度は7が最高ですよ。
You were so lucky. Good that you survived! My heart goes out to all even those who survived. Even if it were a movie, it would be intense & terrifying! So many losing their lives from many different natural disasters all over world. God is trying to tell us something!
In the name of Jesus Christ thank God you survived
Very sad for all the people who lost their lives..Thank you for the kind hearted pple for helping. GOD BLESS U ALWAYS
Terrible vidéo 😮❤😭😭😭
La nature ne fait pas de cadeaux . L'HOMME EST TOUT PETIT.. FACE À CETTE ÉNORMITÉ . LES PLAQUES , SOUTERRAINES ONT. ..BOUGÉ.
LES ANIMAUX ONT UN SIXIÈME SENS..
QUAND ILS S'ENFUIENT...IL FAUT LES SUIVRE. et..MONTER LE PLUS HAUT POSSIBLE.
Suivre les animaux, d'accord, mais il arrive aussi que les femmes aient le même sens !
الحيوان يسمع الذبذبات الارضية ذات الترددات التي لا تسمعها آذاننا نحن البشر . يهرب في الاتجاه المعاكس للجهة التي تأتي منها الأصوات المرعبة .
Pas forcément,tremblement de terre, sortir
It was not mother nature.... technology being used to destroy the world and blame it on nature....we are not alone....I remember clearly it was the worse shock I ever felt and I was not there....but to see it in action had the same response as those who were there.
I read about the massive earthquake that happened in Anchorage Alaska in 1964. There was a woman who told the story of her cat that was sitting on her lap and about a minute before the earthquake hit the cat peed on her lap. She said the cat never had anything like that ever prior. It sensed that the earthquake was going to happen.
Esse foi o melhor documentário que ja vi sobre esse desastre, pois consegue reproduzir bem o horror que foi passar essa situação, especialmente por usar cenas gravadas por pessoas no momento em que o evento ocorria.
Людииии, перестаньте убивать друг друга, надо жить в мире и помогать всем нуждающимся, спасать, то что ещё осталось живое на планете😢
Путину скажите.
Я даже не знаю, к кому обратиться.. к тому, кто Путина приплел, или к тому, кто начал говорить за убийство людей людьми.. ПОД ДОКУМЕНТАЛКОЙ ПРО ТРАГЕДИЮ СТОЛКНОВЕНИЯ ТЕКТОНИЧЕСКИХ ПЛИТ И ПОСЛЕДУЮЩЕГО ЦУНАМИ.
Вы вообще с ума сошли или что с вами?..
Как Обама лично ссыт в подъездах каждого россиянина, так и Путин лично, своими руками младенцев ест, и об этом мы скажем там, где не место политике или обсуждению смертных грехов человечества, а именно на фоне природных катаклизмов. Браво, товарищи. Браво
Paix et fraternité entre nous… c’est ce qu’il nous fallait pour mieux vivre et parfois survivre.
@Анюта88 Путин почти 10 лет пытался предотвратить эту войну! Но Америка продолжала промывать мозги украинцам, Украина продолжала бомбить жителей Донбасса. А лицемерная Европа делала вид, что ничего не происходит! 😡 И теперь тебе подобные еще смеют обвинять Россию и Путина? Лицемерно и подло 🤬
@Анюта88Бобику своему укуренному скажи.
Hay que hacerle caso a los animales cuando estén inquietos. El instinto de los Elefantes de ir hacia el cerro es increíble, Dios los dotó con mucha inteligencia.
Слёзы текут рекой от фильма и от ужаса,который там произошел😭😭😭🙏
Mother Nature is a powerful force. Much respect to the elephants and their natural ability to detect danger. Those poor souls that perished breaks my heart. This documentary deserved much accolades for the heartfelt personal stories.
O belive, note Mather od Naturę but Father God. Jezus Chrystus.
@MałgorzataPałyga-e5j bestimmt wollte Gott sehr viele Kinder und Familien töten, um nochmal was genau zu erreichen!?
Elephants communicate with low frequency vocalizations, they sensed the earthquake before the water came.
@MałgorzataPałyga-e5j father don't give live !
@MałgorzataPałyga-e5j Bullshit.
As someone who almost drowned in the ocean as a child, I still have nightmares about big waves. I am always drawn to these documentaries. My heart goes out to all who suffered this tragedy ❤
@ I feel your pain! My experience definitely impacted parts of my life, my choices, etc… I was actually swept out, off of my feet and I could not swim. I was under water… I can still see that water level above my head, so vividly, to this day. As the water level came down, I’d gasp for air then hold my breath again. I ended up against the jetty, grasping at those giant rocks with my fingers and toes but was unable to save myself, the rocks were too big for me to grab ahold of. My fingers and toes were shredded from the barnacles. I was rescued eventually by someone on the jetty, it seemed like an eternity that I was fighting for my life! It’s my only near-death experience…
Be safe out there 🙏
alexcarter8807 That sounds like a terrifying place to be. We were the lucky ones who made it out alive… Happy New Year 🥳
I did a diving course to recover from something similar. ❤
I too almost drowned in the ocean, and have such a great fear and live of the beauty and power it owns.
Merci!
Dommage, pas un mots pour les locaux...qui eux aussi ont subit
Mnoho slov jsem viděla.. 🌸
Heureusement que ca n'etait pas arriver le soir..sinon..
Oh mon dieu ça veut dire le double des morts et des blessés
44:17 The native dude that was crying got me. I couldn't imagine his pain. I hope he found his family.
What an incredibly tragic, yet beautiful story. The resilience of the human spirit is an amazing thing to witness. God bless every single one of them.
На днях были с семьей на островах Као Лак. Сейчас в отеле на Пхукете. Смотрю этот фильм и рыдаю, пока мой муж и наша 4-летняя дочь спит.
В очередной раз понимая какие мы ничтожные в соотношении с силой природы, в очередной раз недоумеваю и злюсь на тех, кто развязывает войны «ради мира»- кто вы такие, черт подери?! Когда, наконец, человечество поймёт, что жизнь- это единственное и самое ценное, что только может быть на земле? Сумбурно пишу этот комментарий, но знаю, что многие поймут.
Пойду, в очередной раз обниму и поцелую своих любимых. Спасибо, что они у меня живы и здоровы 🙏
Не переживайте, Бог остановит это , когда придет время. Да, мы на самом деле ничтожны, согласна с вами. Мало что можем изменить ...
@МартаФрайзер On n'a jamais vu de dieu changer quoi que ce soit, notamment dans une guerre, cela se saurait.... Les remarquables drones ukrainiens seront bien plus efficaces.
Да
Bellissimo il tuo commento, davvero e presto arriva il Signore DIO Gesù Cristo, convertiti a dio Gesù Cristo che è l'unico che può salvare, vi prego non sto affatto scherzando e tutto vero, so che voi avete altre religioni ma se poi vi accorgete troppo tardi non c'è più tempo, presto arriva
@AnnamariaLatona Cela fait 2000 ans que l'on entend cette ânerie, il faudrait se réveiller, aucun dieu n'est à notre origine, c'est largement prouvé.
49:50 ça ses jouer a une assiette de fruit 😨
🙏 Huge thanks for putting this film together and to everyone who shared their stories. It's the best reportage I've seen on this topic. Big shoutout to the team for all the hard work and feelings poured into this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
primer lugar ,.,.,.llamneto ,.,lo s falleciods .,.,.,.pero la documnetacion esta bn redactada m
This was a very powerful document 😢😢😢
لا إله إلا الله.......سبحانك انا كنا من الظالمين
Thank You for the incredible documentation of this horrific event. I was in Thailand from mid November until December 20th 2004. My last days of my vacation was in Phuket. I left Phuket for Bangkok on December 21st. God Spared Me. I have lived in Pattaya since June ‘23. *God Bless The People of Thailand 🇹🇭*
Amén y amén.
Safe
😮
Most of the footage is from a National Geographic documentary.
The difference is that hear I narrator who almost shouts. And they dub English with English which is ????
0:03 she sleeping in tsunami 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊😱😱😱😝😝😂
Les éléphants sont de très bons sismomètres. Leur lourd corps et leurs grosses pattes détectent les vibrations du sol.
En Thaïlande il y avait une promenade de touristes à dos d'éléphants sur le bord de la plage. Et puis ils ont fait demi-tour et se sont éloignés en vitesse de la plage. Tous les touristes bien surpris.
Après le tsunami qui n'a pas été féroce comme dans cette vidéo, ils ont pu regagner leur hôtel sans trop de dégâts. Les éléphants ont alors été gâtés par de bonnes choses à manger offertes par les touristes.
Nous autres sommes déconnectés des choses et des forces de la nature.
@pierrejourdan4819
Mais on a des machines qui nous viennent en aide. Un sismographe automatique bien placé qui déclenche une sirène à tsunamis (elles savent se faire entendre). Et un parcours fléché d'évacuation.
C'est le cas sur de nombreuses plages au Chili.
Et le metéologue de la vidéo avec tous ces ordinateurs, qui s'occupait... De l'océan Pacifique,il n'a pas eu doit à des friandises et à la médaille d'honneur je suppose !
L’anecdote sur les éléphants qui brise leur chaîne est incroyable
@rarbiyoutubepsq il a décide que ils n pas grave psq il touche pas sont pays
Rip to my love piers simon always in my heart
How old him?
Смотрела и плакала! Ужасающие кадры, сколько людей погибло!
И эта мощь природы, когда ты понимаешь, что ты ничто перед ее силой!
В, Тайланде купил три CD диска только со съёмками очевидцев. 4,5 часа полной жести. Этот фильм пригладили всё же.

เสียชีวิตเกือบ 170,000 คน และสูญหายที่ทุกวันนี้ยังหาไม่เจออีกหลายหมื่นศพ😢
I’m an old guy. About 55 years ago in Georgia, US, I remember talking with kids on the beach. We all knew that receding water at the beach was a sign of an impending tsunami. Our tsunami threat was a just barely. We didn’t know about Charleston earthquake causing a tsunami, much less the one Lisbon sent in 1755. I always wonder why kids like us knew about tsunamis and it takes people by surprise today. Most of the kids I met at the beach knew to run to high ground if the ocean grabs all its water and turns the beach into dry land. Why did we know?
Ξέρατε και ξέραμε διότι τότε μας μάθαιναν σωστά γράμματα!!! Ειμασταν σκληραγογημενα παιδιά και φτωχά δεν μας τα ειχαν όλα στο πιάτο όπως σήμερα εμείς στα παιδιά μας!! Πολλά ήταν καλύτερα κάποτε κι ας είχαμε κόπο. Εκτιμούσαμε πολλά!!!
Because school was better back then.
Common sense
@cozyhaven6835totalmente de acuerdo. Ahora se dedican a adoctrinamiento de los nenes y en cambio antes enseñaban todo cultura general modales y respeto, una nena si salvó a varios porq le dijo a su padre papá la Profe dijo que si el mar retrocede es un tsunami y hay q ir a lo alto el papá le creyó y aviso eso fue allí en ese desastre lo ví en un documental 😊
@radloa7175 Right? And they both convinced everyone on that beach, they saved EVERYONE.
Soy mexicana y me impactó este video supe del tsunami por las noticias pero las noticias son superfluas en la televisión excelente documental nunca pensé que hubiera sido tan devastador y lo que no me gustó es que el que está al pendiente de este fenómeno diga es que no es mi territorio este tipo de eventos debe ser de incumbencia universal eso eso es lo que salva el mayor número de personas al alertar no importa si es tu país o es otro debe haber conexión actualmente ayuda la tecnología de esto debemos aprender y como seres humanos somos tan vulnerables y podemos morir en cualquier momento me parecieron maravillosas las entrevistas con los sobrevivientes y más aún que algunos pudieron salvar a otros eso no tiene precio
Nueva suscriptora
No pareces mexicana para nada con todo respeto
you seem to be misunderstanding the part about "not my territory"
@MarcusH... She actually says is Mexican but look at her name
@NoGuuuuurlMexico is a vast country with many ethnic groups. Just cause she has a RUclips name with Asian characteristics it doesn't mean she isn't from Mexico obviously Spanish is her language.
A mi me ha pasado lo mismo. Lo vimos por la tele pero no ha esta magnitud y aun así sufri mucho. Hace años fui a Thailandia de viaje con mis padres (antes del Tsunami)y tengo una foto que me hice con unas trabajadoras del hotel. Aún hoy, se me encoge el alma pensando en ellas y en todos 😢. Vivo en una zona que esta catalogada de desaparecer y peligrosa por tsunami y aún asi no hay simulacros de evacuacion o de alarma etc para cuando pase.Porque se sabe que pasará (ya se vivio uno, pero por suerte no vino con mucha fuerza). Como bien dices todas las catástrofes naturales deberían ser enseñadas en colegios y poblacion etc pues nunca sabes si te puede pasar. Para al menos tener mas posibilidades de sobrevivir al identificarlas. Por que aunque en tu pais no se dé, se viaja y el mundo cambia al igual que la naturaleza.
What a unique and beautiful name...Farid.
This was an excellent production. Best of all of them on this horrible, horrible event.
