If you ask me , I believe that this whole frightful situation is God's way of cleansing the good by bringing them back to the Garden of Heaven and purging the bad by drowning them to the depths of despair ; I've started praying hard ever since 2004 .
No, Its VERY hard to let someone go... You just say that cuase you havin lost a Child that was in your arms and got Riped away from you... Just make another one... The one she had was KILLED right in front of her and you just say for her to get over it... Someone she loved died in front of her you FUCKING CUNT. YOU HAVE NO FUCKING FEELINGS, IF SOMEONE YOU LOVED DIED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU AND SOMEONE TOLD YOU TO MOVE ON CAUSE ITS JUST A KID, YOU WOULD BE UPSET BUT WAIT, YOU ANIT GOT A CHILD.
We as people should love each other rather then kill in wars and fight over money. Its so sad that an event like that brings people closer. RIP everyone whom lost their lives in this dessaster. I could hardly keep from bursting into tears the whole time. Its the most sad video i watched sa far.
holy shit at all the compassion everyone is showing for the mother that let her child go to save her own neck.
after this catastrophe, look at her, that woman is all giddy and smiling in pictures of her new foundation to help the children affected by the tsumani.
dont make me laugh you fools. that woman is as coward as a human being can ever get. she is now enjoying the small amount of fame the drowning of her little daughter got her.
@bradyischamp i just want to let you know that i want through all the trouble of making an account just to give you a piece of my mind. i'm assuming you're a guy from your screen name. you obviously don't know the pain she went through as the mother of that child. you and i both know that she didn't drop her child and run. those waves tore down houses, so it would be beyond a miracle if it didn't tear down a person. (I ran out of room so this is continued on a next comment)
@bradyischamp (continued) i find it ironic that you would tell EvilOcelot not to judge anyone. You have to be able to see the irony in that unless you're blind (if you are i'm truly sorry). while that mother loved her child, lost her child, and now is doing something good in the memory of her child, you my good friend are kind of bringing everybody down. Why can't you see the good in people. I really am truly and sincerely concerned for you and your mental well-being. (go to part3)
@bradyischamp ...so, even though it goes against individualism (which i am all for) i wish everybody saw the world as I do: seeing the best in everybody, hoping the best for everyone, and doing your best always. I also want to note that sometimes when you can't cry anymore, all you can do is laugh. it's hard to explain and you won't know what i'm talking about until you've felt that way. I hope you reconsider your comments and always keep in mind that your narcissism does not good.

@bradyischamp i promise i won't bug you again.I just want to let you know that i hope the best for your future because that will be my future as well."old men declare war but it is the youth that fight and die." -Herbert Hoover I am a seventeen year old American girl,i know what it's like to be non-existant in grief,I have empathy,I am genuine,and I accept others for who they are.these are Abraham Maslows three conditions for growing.Afterall, isn't the purpose of life to grow?
Love reading these comments of these troll douches that think they could hold on to a child with that many pounds of pressure from the water. RIP to all whole lost their lives to this awful tragedy. May the families find peace.
i love that you, a despicable and selfish human being, just like the woman who couldnt hold onto her child, didnt go after her the moment she lost her. instead, just save your own neck. you know nothing about humanity and never will. DO NOT JUDGE anyone and look at yourself. if a day comes you have to make a decision you or your child i have no doubt you would choose yourself. COWARD.
@bradyischamp HEY EVERYONE! We have an internet hero here! I swear this must be Mark Whalberg, bet you would have saved the girl, bet you would have stop the hijackers on 911 and landed the planes safely, bet you would have convinced Hitler it was evil to do what he was planning and he stopped before he even started. You sir/madam, are a true internet hero and should be applauded for all of the things you never have or could do.
@Larkinchance if regular investment fails, what remains is "disaster capitalism", "thanks" to nature (or are such catastrophies even man made?). I wonder why most of the rebuilding companies are from the US and they are always the same...
4:07 "it's not a punishment but it is a task from God, to me". That's right lady, God killed your 5 friends along with hundreds of thousands of other people to see if you'd pass the test. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Earth's crust being unstable and being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
part 5-7 i was crying so hard, the 15 year old girl and the 5 year old....i just lost half of my water from my body!!! REST IN PEACE YOU TWO AND ALL OF THE 250,000 SOULS LOST ON THAT DAY!!!
andrew is correct about the mother being a coward.
there are accounts of women on the sinking titanic who didnt get on a lifeboat because some steward took their kids from their room while the mothers were away trying to find out what was going on. the mothers come back and see their child is gone. they stay on the titanic searching for their lost children. they know they will die but they wont leave their children.
i agree you can see it in her husbands eyes he knows she could have done more.
@bradyischamp It's a diff story 2 be on a ship w/ no where 2 go & a Tsunami that is pushing pple in land. There is hope that a child will survive in a Tsunami, as many do. The currents pulled her child away from her & she needed 2 survive 2 try & help, but given the situation, she cldn't just jump right back in2 what she was alrdy in. Have u ever been caught in a current of water drowning while holding on 2 something? I have. Believe me, I let go even tho I tried really hard not 2.
@bradyischamp There is nothing anyone can do in a moment like that but the best you can do at that moment. Have any of you ever been there done that? Doubtful. It is so easy to judge and cast stones, but until you walk in somebody's elses shoes you will never know.
@bradyischamp I did not see any short of thing in that man's eyes other then sorrow. If there was blame in his eyes it's bc that is his way of coping. 80% of marriages/relationships do not work out after the death of a child...usually bc one blames the other and thinks they could have done "better" if they were in charge of the situation.
I think the lady is to blame for letting go of her daughter. I'd die myself before I let one of my kids slip away. The guy should divorce her for cowardice.
@andrewc2768 "I think the lady is to blame for letting go of her daughter. I'd die myself before I let one of my kids slip away. The guy should divorce her for cowardice."
God, I just love people like you ... please do the world a favor and go drown in a tsunami.
@antred11 I don't believe in god, but I do know that if I were in a tsunami and was in the position of holding my kids life literally in my hands, my survival would become a secondary consideration in relation to the well being of my child. No, I haven't been in a tsunami, but I will tell you that i have proved I will step between a gun and someone I love with no hesitation. I'd die in that water before I came out with a story about how I couldn't hang on./
@andrewc276 Too bad actions are what makes a hero, not words. You have no right to talk like that about her until you've proven that, given an equal situation, you'd actually live up to your words.
@antred11 I could see it on the man's face, too. He would have died for that little girl, but now the show's all about mummy and her helpless depression. Not everyone is a coward. I was in the financial district in San Francisco, in 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake struck, and although I believed I would die that day, I raised my fist to the air and screamed to god 'bring it down!' There were 3ft rolling waves in the concrete, skyscrapers were wiggling like wet noodles. I then tried to ente
@andrewc2768 how many tsunamis have you been through.not sure you could hold a five year old in that force of water.that poor woman will now be condemnd to her own hell
@SuperBigtones There's no way I would come out of that water without my 5 year old. I'd hang onto her and take our chances in the water together. Better that than use your hands to hang on for your own life and leave your precious baby without so much as a water wing to float with.
@andrewc2768 it's easy to say that because you don't know what she went through. I have a 9 year old and it's also easy for me to say "I would never let go of my baby." but in water strong enough to break down entire buildings and break bones and kill people, you don't know what would happen.
i dont feel sorry for that woman. look at her with those fake words and tears. look at her all smiley and happy in those "after" pictures of her new foundation to help the children in this catastrophe. she is definitely a coward to the utmost degree and an attention whore at that. she disgusts me and i cant believe he hasnt divorced that horrible horrible human being from his life.
@jaywildman807406 If my child were to die in a disaster like this, and I was around, I would die with them. Sorry, I think people are too flip in the way they protect their own. She can't even remember the moment the girl was "torn" from her....that should have been the moment she dove into the torrent in an effort to save the most important gift in her life.
@andrewc2768 it's easy to say that because you don't know what she went through. I have a 9 year old and it's also easy for me to say "I would never let go of my baby." but in water strong enough to break down entire buildings and break bones and kill people, you don't know what would happen.
@kelaltieri she was holding herself safe, she was trying to hold her daughter also. The lady is alive and the girl is dead. She cannot remember when her daughter got pulled away. She is a coward who saved her own life and now has a dramatic tale to tell, when she should have gone in after the kid. If you jump in right away, you have a chance to grab her, but a frightened coward freezes like a mouse and later tells a dramatic tale
@andrewc2768 WTF? Did you not see how that Tsunami was pushing people with the debris and the current? It's easy to judge people when you don't weigh in all the factors. I always think I will never let my children go, but in the moment, you react to the factors without thought for anything else. I can see how she would have not noticed she was no longer holding to her daughter. An earth quake and a Tsunami are two different beasts, so don't compare.
@iammetx Bottom line, she was using more energy holding herself to the wall than she was using to hold her baby. This is the time to focus. The moment you feel your grip on your child weaken, you take both your arms and wrap her to your self tightly, falling into the water, but at least there is a chance you can save her. But, oh yeah, there is a chance you will die, or both will die, but you hold the slimest chance of surviving together. Do not think, react. Or later tell a cool sad story
@andrewc2768 They didn't know what was going on, so they didn't have time to make a plan. For crying out loud, how old are you? She gets knocked down, water is rushing every where, she's drowning, and you want her to stay focused? Again, have you ever been in a situation where you find yourself drowning all of a sudden and there is water and debris pushing you in every way? I have, but I bet you have not or you wouldn't be making such ridiculous accusations.
@iammetx I have been in situations where a kayak capsized in class 4 rapids. I realize the power of water, but I would literally jump into HOT LAVA if my child fell in. Even a .000001% chance of saving her is better than preserving my own life. Yes, I have fast reactions, no I am not concerned with dying when my childrens safety is involved. I am a 44 yr old mtn bike racer, skateboarder, nature lover. My first job was a bike messengerin SF and now I build satellite payloads for a living.
@andrewc2768 But you had a life vest on and you knew where you were at and what you were getting into, so you had time to prepare for a situation like that. I didn't. I fell into the rapids and have no idea how it happened, but remember that for some reason I didn't want to let go of the grapefruit I had in my hand and held on to it for dear life. When I was rescued, instead of a grapefruit in my hand, I had a rock. continued>>
@andrewc2768 continued>>but I guess in your skewed way of thinking things, the people who were slipping and sliding were sissies and should have stood their ground against the current. The old man should have done better at holding on to his wife so she wouldn't have drowned, and the guy and girl that were sucked under were lying about how they broke their bones, because, hey, ol' andrew over here thinks he can handle a tsunami and still hold on to his child under duress. Get real!
@andrewc2768 I always tought that Superman didn't exist... Now i know that he does! I can only wish i was as awesome as you are! Will you please send me your signature? Because i collect the signatures of celebs and the one from Superman is still missing in my collection...
@andrewc2768 Well i truly hope you react as well as you talk if and when you are ever in a situation like this. I'd hate to hear another "cool" sad story.
I have nothing against religious people but when 5 people in your family die you say it was God's way and it was a challenge. All religion is, is a way to blame bad things on something. Why can you not just face the harsh truth that this was a terrible disaster for once. I think what happened was terrible but it was not "God's way" it was a natural disaster that ended up killing humans.
I did see a commercial from Volkswagen, didn't I? Right at the moment the first wave hit. How dear they advertise in a documentary like this! Nobody should ever buy a Volkswagen ever again. Sick!
What's the deal with the Muslim population in of all places, Indonesia? Aren't they traditionally Buddhists? Why a foothold there? I'm not against Islam nor Christianity -- I'm a rationalist -- but WTF?
i dont know what i could say about any of this that would help make it better but i do know what its like to loose someone very close and dear to your heart, and to all the parents that lost there child and/or children I send my deepest condolences for I have two beautiful children myself and I dont know if I would ever survive without them. God bless you and those whom have gone!
I, and my now wife, survived this Tsunami by a last minute change of plan - literally by 15 minutes, but the scenes we witnessed later will haunt me the rest of my life. I just wish I could forget.
@geoffphuket It was a horrible experience. I was a special agent with State's Diplomatic Security Service when it happened. I was on vacation with my girlfriend at the time in Banda Aceh and ended up helping with the first rescue response. It was the worst devastation I've seen, and I say that as someone who spent 12 months in Baghdad
@DJeyBird Join the club. I don't feel bad for you. That means you have a soul. We should worry instead about the isolated comments here from the scum of the earth who either think it's funny or justified, e.g. "the earth is being treated horribly by humans."
@smileandgoaway To put it simply, Boxing Day is a holiday that is celebrated the day after Christmas in most countries in the Commonwealth. This show was produced in the UK and Boxing Day is observed there.
Just a stunning documentary. So riveting I couldn't stop watching. If this doesn't give an appreciation for life then nothing will. Horrific for parents to lose their children particularly when they were pulled from their grasp. This is a very unstable evolving planet we live on. In that evolutionary process people die and sometimes en masse as occurred here.
i cryed hard watching these. i always pray since this happen in 04 i pray everyday for them familes that lost their love ones since its hard lose someone u love ive had that happen to me they past away from cancer but knowing they lost theirs from a tsunami that happens unexpectedly and you cant run away from one its so sad knowing how many died that day from it :(
"I have no one left, why have I been left? God has abandoned me" This shows how at the end what is important for humans, is other humans. Makes you think about individuals who get removed from society eater by money or status, and how they become so inhumane, so detached from what is important that they start wars, and exploit people, and yet we trust them with our lives...
Wars are made by deranged individuals in power to make a profit, from the Roman empire to the US empire, soldiers rarely know who and why they must fight. Is up to the smart but malevolent leader to persuade the less intelligent majority into war. But of course only an "Incredible" stupid person in the information era would ignore the history of wars.
@Ramiromasters So let me see you are saying deranged individuals cause war: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, F.D.R., L.B.J., and to the Bushes. I believe deranged individuals past F.D.R. What was the profit George Washington was going to make: freedom or some kind of money fraud with the French?
@God670 It was the king of England who wanted to force the USA to stay under England for monetary reasons, so GW was defending USA. Lincoln although ended slavery and that was good, did was supported by his party for monetary reasons, and the south fight against him also for monetary reasons.
ok... gonna wipe the tears... turn off the computer, lock the house and go to bed..my little boy has snuck into my bed and after seeing the utter devastation and the loss of life in these vids - the sadness of the parents who lost their kids...I'm going to hug my little man that much longer and harder..being grateful that I have not suffered such a loss ..RIP
@Annie1962 It's a hard thing for children to witness something like this but I think it's good that they do, it instills a sense of reality and respect for life which they'll never forget.
this made me cry 300000 people wiped out and majority of them didn't know what a tsunami was.. all countries should make it mandatory to educate people especially tourists and have escape drills for them when they arrive...
@Diddlen in the bible ,the book of job, god focuses satans attention on Job and boasts of Jobs faith and riteousness to him(god).satan commences to persuade god to let him inflict untold horror on Job to break his faith.god allowed this.he allowed satan to persuade him.this is an illustration of god and satan being a dydemic pair,as positivity and negativity is the most grand pair.THESE PAIRS ALWAYS COLLABORATE,always.
@Diddlen your initial remark about the disaster is about disbelief ,your evidence is this video.i was just showing you that god and satan is simply an over-elaborated duality.humpty dumpty is a superficial story about a shell.so you're saying god is humpty dumpty,this disaster is humpty dumpty and your temple of belief is humpty dumpty,and you lie broken at the bottom of a wall.how cynical is one who checks the chair they sit in.do fat asses pay for chairs they break?that is the question.
@SuperGamerCraft we exceded this naturall dead rate caused by natural disaster 70 years ago in japan in 1 hour.we can match the destructiveness of a texas sized meteor by detonating all of the worlds nukes in unison.we are good people but the cream of our crop of humanity is way to arrogant to ever be humbled by the fact that technology is moving too fast for nature.we got to respect nature .not fear her .respect her.
This series of videos was morbidly ghastly. It is just so terrible how quickly something this tragic can happen to those individual mothers and papas.
Very powerful without being mawkish. I will certainly hug my daughter a bit tighter tonight. She is too young to remember the quakes here that killed 185 nearly a year ago. We never lost cell coverage and were able to make sure each other (the lucky ones) were all right. Having to identify your child's body must rip the soul out of you. Kia Kaha from Christchurch NZ.
After watching these videos... I guess, I have lost all my believes... believing in God, in karma, in anything...And there is only one question left:WHY?
My heart is aching for all the people who lost loved ones. I can not image the horror these people felt. The desperation of them looking for loved ones. I wonder if the boy climbing the palm tree survive? Watching this you shake your head in disbelief and say "My God". What can you say there are no words for the pain and suffering of these people. There is a heaviness on my heart. All I can offer are my prayers.
Prayers? Prayers??? To the same alleged "deity" that, according to its believers, caused/allowed this to happen? Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?
Some of us made donations to help with relief and reconstruction. Everyone who donates a dollar, or a penny, to such efforts does more to *actually* help than does someone who prays 24/7 for a week, or a year, or a century.
"Prayer: how to do nothing, and still feel like you're helping."
@lease2coach1 I agree. What is wrong with people. Its like nothing no matter how horrible proves their god and prayers are useless, they will still believe in superstitious crap. Total extermination of the human race would even be put down to their God just making the righteous decision to be rid of us. Such charming false beliefs we hold as a species.
@shimwah Another troll hiding behind anonymity. You know nothing about religion. If you want to be an atheist that is fine at least learn something about religion before you make asumptions. Troll much? Looking at your YouTube channel and the comments you have made to others. I'd said you troll alot
@Rdrake1413 I watch a video read some of the comments. Sometimes I feel impulsed to leave a comment. If I am a troll, so are you and everyone else on youtube that leaves comments. I know more about religion than most religious people. I spend a lot of time reading and researching the worlds religions and superstitious beliefs. I am not an atheist. That is an assumption on your part. In fact your whole post to me is an assumption.
@shimwah Look, the girl has just lost pretty much everything that mattered in her life. Can you not understand that when people lose everything, they MUST find a way to somehow rationalize this into something that makes sense. I mean when something like this happens to you and you don't find something to believe in afterwards, I think you'd just come apart. It's a self-defense mechanism as much as anything else.
@antred11 Yes I understand what you are saying and agree. I was just agreeing with lease2coach1 about prayers. If it gives a person comfort or hope to believe in pink unicorns or the powers of prayer, so be it. But lets not kid ourselves it has anything to do with the truth. Perhaps one day we will be able to face such painful tragedy without false belief to hold it together. A doctor may also prescribe a sedative or anti depressant to cope with such things.
@lease2coach1 Hi lease2coach I can tell by your comment you know nothing about me or religion. I looked at your YouTube channel and it was just as I expected, a troll hiding behind anonymity.When you grow a pair and can stop hiding who you are come talk. Until then keep on trolling.
I almost cryed than the muslim girl started talking about god and how he made it all happen ... then it was when I got angry. -.-' I hate it how ignorant one religion makes.
That's her comfort, how she is dealing with losing 5 loved ones and the devastation of her home. Just because you believe that is ignorant doesn't give you the right to take away or mock the one thing that makes her able to go on with her life. If religion helps her, and doesn't effect you in the slightest, mocking her is unforgivably cruel.
You people who think this fucking funny! Be glad you are alive these people feel horrible to watch another get killed so if you think they were just to dumb to get to safety your wrong they were in shock and just think that could have bin you!
i think the guilt comes from knowing deep down you survived by sheer luck, a second here, being in this place and not that, in this building and not that one, etc. etc. etc. all those moments you play over and over realizing how extraordinarily lucky you were, why you and not them...
Makes me think of something John F. Kennedy once said.
“Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.”
while im not religious or prejudice, it put a smile on my face to see Christians, Muslims, Buddhists etc praying together in a mosque, we must all learn this lesson, were all different but were all the same and this is beautiful. I don't think i have been this emotional in quite some time and i hope i never forget it.
This is one of the most moving pieces I have ever watched. It would serve everyone in this world to watch it and give thanks to God for all they have in this fearfully wonderful world.
Just think, even on a day like that when more than 250,000 people died in one earthquake/tsunami event, the global population still probably increased overall because almost a half million people are born around the world on a daily basis.
Hopefully people have learned by now that when the tide suddenly disappears that it's time to head for higher ground. Do not grab your stuff, do not take video's and be curious. RUN. Run your ass off and survive.
@file83 if the people live at the coast they HAVE to know this. If they don't know - they are stupid. It's very strange that the coast hotel manager know nothing about the disappearing tide. IMHO this is part of his job to know this kind of danger. He could save some lives if he warns people. But he haven't.
I live far away from a sea, but I have learned this when I was in school. It's obvious thing.
P.S. Sorry for bad english, it isn't my native language.
@file83 In viewing the parts of the the complete video, the message you posted came to my mind again and again. As much as we. as viewers, gain an understanding and a means to better visualize their experiences that day, I am astonished that people continued to record, even as they ran for their lives. I can't help but suspect that their actions, by recording, slowed them in some manner. How might they used that lost time to better advantage? You are right, run and survive.
Yes, We need a Tsunami in the US....and let it be that "MrRaptur3" is the ONLY dead magot!!! whose meaningless life be taken from this earth........so help me god......
Goog God.....A man asking why God has abandoned him.
I hope he found peace.

i love that you, a despicable and selfish human being, just like the woman who couldnt hold onto her child, didnt go after her the moment she lost her. instead, just save your own neck. you know nothing about humanity and never will. DO NOT JUDGE anyone and look at yourself. if a day comes you have to make a decision you or your child i have no doubt you would choose yourself. COWARD.

andrew is correct about the mother being a coward.
there are accounts of women on the sinking titanic who didnt get on a lifeboat because some steward took their kids from their room while the mothers were away trying to find out what was going on. the mothers come back and see their child is gone. they stay on the titanic searching for their lost children. they know they will die but they wont leave their children.
i agree you can see it in her husbands eyes he knows she could have done more.

@bradyischamp It's a diff story 2 be on a ship w/ no where 2 go & a Tsunami that is pushing pple in land. There is hope that a child will survive in a Tsunami, as many do. The currents pulled her child away from her & she needed 2 survive 2 try & help, but given the situation, she cldn't just jump right back in2 what she was alrdy in. Have u ever been caught in a current of water drowning while holding on 2 something? I have. Believe me, I let go even tho I tried really hard not 2.

@bradyischamp I did not see any short of thing in that man's eyes other then sorrow.

This is one of the most moving pieces I have ever watched. It would serve everyone in this world to watch it and give thanks to God for all they have in this fearfully wonderful world.

Just think, even on a day like that when more than 250,000 people died in one earthquake/tsunami event, the global population still probably increased overall because almost a half million people are born around the world on a daily basis.

Hopefully people have learned by now that when the tide suddenly disappears that it's time to head for higher ground. Do not grab your stuff, do not take video's and be curious. RUN. Run your ass off and survive.

@file83 if the people live at the coast they HAVE to know this. If they don't know - they are stupid. It's very strange that the coast hotel manager know nothing about the disappearing tide. IMHO this is part of his job to know this kind of danger. He could save some lives if he warns people. But he haven't.
I live far away from a sea, but I have learned this when I was in school. It's obvious thing.
P.S. Sorry for bad english, it isn't my native language.

@file83 In viewing the parts of the the complete video, the message you posted came to my mind again and again. As much as we. as viewers, gain an understanding and a means to better visualize their experiences that day, I am astonished that people continued to record, even as they ran for their lives. I can't help but suspect that their actions, by recording, slowed them in some manner. How might they used that lost time to better advantage? You are right, run and survive.
