Robochimp works at McDonalds. What do you expect when a person's IQ is 70. Probably believes in an imaginary God too. lol He won't be designing our next mobile phone.
Did he actually think it was normal that the wave smashed a 20 meter high battleship over, the water receeding back 500 meters, people running away, a 10 meter high wave heading at 800 km per hour at him? Was he asleep and then woke up 10 seconds before the wave hit him. com on man! get smarter in the afterlife! RIP Dummy
@robochimp143 Kid, you have to realize even if he was 100 yards away and still running, with a tsunami like that coming towards you, the chances of survival would be very unlikely. If anything, he wanted to die and chose an easy way out, instant death, no pain. Maybe his life sucked, idk? You've posted four times in a row.. we get it!
@robochimp143 You are genuinly a stupid cunt.. Whats the point in running, it would inevitably catch up with him so he chose to stay. I saw it in a documentary, he just stood there and took it.. OUT OF CHOICE
That dude is the most stupid person in the world! what was he thinking when a 10 meter wall of water came at 800 km\h strait at him, what a loser! still, i hope he is alive
@robochimp143 Robochimp - you are so fucking stupidt. Telling that guy to get smart? hey, captain hindsight, that guy didnt know what happened and how fast the waves were. he didnt see any battleships or anything else. Before this disaster very few people in the world ever knew anything about tsunamis. By the way the waves never reached 800km/h. they go close to that only in the open ocean, as they reached the shore they topped out at 50km/h. Dont be an idiot. Stupid fuck.
This bit of footage was in a 90 min documentary viewable on youtube. A tsunami can travel up to 940kph or 600mph. When the wave approached, running would have been futile. The impact of the water hitting him alone would've shattered his bones, not to mention dragging him underwater for several miles and crushing him against all the debris. This man must have been insane, if you look closely he starts of sitting on the beach with his back to the wave, then gets up and looks at it, before running.
After the earthquake; the sea flooded out into the streets of Khoa Lak doing damage to many properties. Then suddenly it swept back out by 300ft for some unknown reason. Next thing, theres an enormous white crescent on the sea horizon and a wave 36ft tall fastly approaching. Many people did not even realise it was a tsunami until it engulfed the police boat just offshore. Everyone then fled the beaches. The voices in the video were shouting "run". This man had more than enough chances to run.
Those waves where going at 200kmph, the initial impact would have snapped his spin and knocked him out meaning he wouldn't have to suffer, this man had a seriously large set of balls to do that...rip
Hey you know he might have made the right choice. Think about it. There is no debri in the water yet, just water. So he would have time to swim and prepare to grab onto something. Had he run inland a bit, he would then have to contend with all the ragged debri that would now be in the water.
Is there any official release if this guy died or not?
@surfmusicjamweedgirl he did do the right thing. He removed himself from the gene pool thus bettering the entire human race. WTF was he thinking going out there when the sea pulls back like that.
@surfmusicjamweedgirl your a knob if you think this was the right choice. Hmmm the entire ocean is being sucked out to sea and all the locals are running away from the beach.... finally i can get some peace and quite
Based on the longer version i saw they were plenty of people on the beach that day , everybody started running when they saw the big waves ( the man could not have miss that ) , he didn't want to run & then he faced the waves .
wow he probably didnt even realize what was hitting him him until it was too late.... he was like "godayum, i spent 120 bucks on these shoessss... oo fuck!" and dead.
The thing about it is if your looking straight at it from ground level it doesn't look that bad unless you see it take a fucking naval battleship under in the distance. I don't think he could tell what he was getting into. If he knew he could have ran to those trees and started climbing. Only chance. If he survived he would have been one lucky fucker. 99.9% probability that guy is done.
in my view i think the man was very old judging by the way he turns away from the wave & walks away from his oncoming death, which would explain his poor vision in seeing the wave coming towards him and the slowness he turns and walks are the actions of someone moving slowly, unable to run, got to be an old man who had lived a long life, people sayin a nasty way to die, id rather go like that suddenly than slowly dying in pain from an illness like cancer, alzhiemers or male patten baldness
@abcsmoshed i think uve been watching to many cartoons or not getting out into the real world to think he could body surf the wave to safety. i think a better bet was to take a very very very deep breath so u inflate up big and round like a beach ball and then u could just float and bob along the surface, i was in exactly the same sitution and it worked for me. hah! surfing the wave that is so ridiculous
This guy was kinda stupid. If you see everybody else running away, why would you stay? Did he think he was the hulk or something? I feel bad for this guy for losing his life, but when you see people running away, you don't think about it, you run away too.
@fnog9 I doubt he knew it was going to happen. It seems when he turned his back walking from the wave coming in he must of thought it was just going to go right by him. I'm sure he had know idea how strong that wave really was, but I guess we'll never know.
I always imagined Tsunamis as these gigantic waves that crashed on land, but most I see are just rushing water. I guess the waves crash off shore a long way eh? lol
@FenrirIceKing A tsunami doesnt have a wave break, it is simply a huge force of watrer (remeber they can travel thousands of kilometres without anybody knowing they are there. Its a huge force of water
i dont think it was that he was dumb or slow, its just the shock, you turn around and see that you dont think run away, you think omg, just stare in wonder and then realise you need to run but by then its too late.
the guy has got to be like an old age pensioner to not react anymore than he did, or to have been extremely near sighted, as he turns round to hobble away at the last second in such a slow casual manner. this is one of those film clips and photos that never leaves you like the bhuddist monk who sits immnobile in the lotus position and then sets fire to himself, i am annoyed that the footage is so poor, but i guess if given choice of a freak big wave or man on beach, u film the wave, still a pity
i cant believe(and i've spent many moments wondering about this, about y the guy just stood there)cant believe he looked out to sea ,saw wave coming & then weighed up the pros and cons of legging it, no matter how futile, how could anyone be that calm and clear headed to think " well i'm def going to die here, nothing i can do, so might as well enjoy the view" i've come to the conclusion the guy was either a dribbling retard or his wife had just left him & suicide was on the cards anyways
praying to god or making fun of this doesnt change anything ! it happens and it will again . stfu bible thumpers and people that cant take a joke .. this already happened so making fun or sticking up for this does nothing stfu stfu
god is a bitch if he did do this, so because the germans killed millions of people we should worship them, id rather hit him with a stick. this old dirty wizard you call god, which backwards spells dog and devil spelt backwards is lived. BOOYAH
it's only stupid english... you can do that to a lot of english words. Other languages don't do anything of that sort. And they are much older then english...
@03sj you know its funny people are so quick to blame anyone they can for tragedies like this and "god" whatever that means anymore is always the first on the list why not the"devil" its like even if the devil was responsible God is still blamed for not stopping it? I guess blaming anyone else make small insecure people fill better.When in reality its just nature, this happens and it will happen more and more often.Prepare yourself for the end as we know it is near.
@03sj Im not religious so I'm not particularly offended by your comments. But that can't work for any language but english. So if you're gonna teach us all english I've got a lesson for you, look yourself up in the dictionary, it'll say 03sj (noun) Known for being a pretentious prick. BOOYAH
that looks more like a little kid to me not a man... and that is debistating and sad, it makes me feel horrible how many people loose there lives by waves and tsunami's
nice one you racist cunt. dont complain next time people call you niggers and monkeys. cause by the looks of it you deserve it. people like you make me regret fucking voting for obama. NEVER AGAIN.
this man looks more like a little child to me .. and i also think there is no possibility that he survived this .. even if he survived the first wave .. the wave would have sucked him right back to the next , bigger wave..
Poor man.......poor human being......at the speed that was coming in, even if he run as fast as humanly possible he wouldnt have avoided it. Knowing your death is approaching and theres no escape and just standing and accepting it, waiting, bravely waiting and letting death consume you..........such a brave, brave soul.
you are sick ! this man understood what was going to happen to him so he was brave and died and you are saying things like " he should have gone to specsavers" or "MEGA PWNAGE " you make me sick and you are an embarrasment to this earth, to watch another human being die and then laugh about it is a horrible thing i hope you think it over and really really pray that god forgives you
oh we do, but we know he'll look after us because we love him. if there is sin in the world, then those who ruin it are the people like you who dont ask for forgiveness. it's your fault :)
at least i have something to live for in life:) but this is the last comment im doing here.. seriously why would i waste my precious time on fabulous people like you pfffffffft
Lol, it's so funny to watch the religion haters get so worked up over the internet event when they started the argument. It really displays the mentality of these kinds of people.
you are sick ! this man understood what was going to happen to him so he was brave and died and you are saying things like " he should have gone to specsavers" or "MEGA PWNAGE " you make me sick and you are an embarrasment to this earth, to watch another human being die and then laugh about it is a horrible thing i hope you think it over and really really pray that god forgives you
I always wondered what the person in this video was thinking - whether he just wanted to "catch the wave" and he didn't realize the danger he was in, or whether he knew exactly that it was going to be the end - an decided there was no point in running away.
The way he is turning around before the wave hits makes me he probably underestimated the magnitude of the event.

That's pretty obvious, dude. If you don't die by getting hit by a massive volume of water (like a group of trucks being thrown at you), drowning will finish you off. Anyway, r.ip. to the victims... :(
@cawl2009 no I do not. If he survived the initial impact, the surge would have brough him very far inland. Eventually, he'd be crushed by something. You can see how much water rushes inland after the initial wave. It's like a half super wave, half earth moving. No way he survived. I think even the initial impact would killl him.
Huhu yea, awesome. You're one of those guys who is always ready to take joy in other's people's misery but is crying like a bitch when they get a splinter in their finger.
just look up "tsunami anukul charoenkul" on google and you should come across the articles i read. one of them clearly says (even in the words of the cameraman himself) that he filmed the disaster to make money to keep his thai restaraunt in business.
What is your problem? I just read all the articles on him - it says he sold the videos afterwards because his business was failing (as a result of the tsunami destroying Khao Lak). It never once even IMPLIES he didn't help warn people. He was screaming at people down on the beach the whole time to run. And he wasn't sure what was going to happen, just like everyone else. He didn't know about tsunami waves. Should he have gone down and got killed?
well yeah actually... in that situation i would have risked my life to possibly save a few people down there... so i would have at least gone all the way to the beach and yelled at them to finally get their attention, not just sit there and film them look on to certain death.
so i'm the one having respect here, you've just misunderstood me.
I'm not gonna get into an obnoxious youtube war, but how was he supposed to know how big the tsunami was gonna be? For all he knew it was gonna be tiny, or so big that even his restaurant way uphill wouldn't be safe. He wasn't psychic - he heard it may come and thats all.
Again, how you can be so disrespectful I just don't understand. You cite the google articles and yet none of the articles say he didn't help warn people.
You say you are not going to get into a youtube "war," yet you are provoking one.....hmmm.
And actually he got a phone call from down the coast at Phuket, and he was told him how large the wave was. He got that phone call right after the wave hit Phuket, which was 20-30 mins. before Khao Lak was struck. PLENTY of time to warn some of the people down at Sunset.
Maybe you should actually get to know everything you can about something before being a prick on a video comment.
The first wave in Phuket was 5ft high. The first wave in Khao Lak was 34ft high. If someone called him and said "A tsunami is coming, it just hit here" how would he know A) That it would take 20min for it to hit him B)That it was gonna be so huge it would sweep inland and kill 4,000 ppl.
You first said the guy said he wanted to profit from the disaster once he heard the tsunami was coming. Please show an article that says that\ - cause thats a foolish thing to believe.
The first wave was different heights all across Phuket, highest at Patong and Kamala beaches. Khao Lak ultimetely had only one, massive tsunami wave, which battered the coast and killed 4000 + people. This wave was not 34 feet at all locations in Khao lak, either.
He knew when the wave was about to hit because the water receded from the beach at least 5 minutes before the waves actually engulfed the coast.
even if he had, by the time he got back to the top of the hill, people could have still wandered onto the beach. you can't control everything evrgrnn.
i never said he didnt TRY to warn the people on the coast, but he certainly could have made a better effort to warn them. but the truth is (he even said so himself) that the reason he filmed the video was to make money and profit from the disaster. he sold the footage for 300 baht a video.
so you are right and you are wrong at the same time. you are right because you said he TRIED to warn them, but you are wrong because you said that he made a strong effort to warn them, which is untrue.
the guy who filmed this footage only did so to get money off of it. i read a news article about this footage and he said (the cameraman) that when he had heard that a tsunami wave was rushing toward the beach, he grabbed his camera with only money in mind, and didn't really make a strong effort to warn the tourists down at khao lak about the overpowering waves coming toward them. And then he ended up selling the video to people all over thailand.
Thats wrong my friend. The guy who was filming it, was the owner of the restaurant on the cliff. He warned all his customers and other people to get away from the beach. Not many listened, because his english was bad. I don't know where you got this information, but it's completely wrong.
@gnidich2000 i heard that he filmed it for cash too, he then went to try and film the body , but when he found the man washed up on the beach several hours later, he found the guy was still breathing but unconcious, that he was still alive meant he would get less money for his film footage so he got a nearby coconut and bashed him dead over the head with it like a fisherman kills a caught fish, i know its true as my mate showed me the coconut, it says asda on it and everything.

@03sj you know its funny people are so quick to blame anyone they can for tragedies like this and "god" whatever that means anymore is always the first on the list why not the"devil" its like even if the devil was responsible God is still blamed for not stopping it? I guess blaming anyone else make small insecure people fill better.When in reality its just nature, this happens and it will happen more and more often.Prepare yourself for the end as we know it is near.

@03sj I'm a Christian and God had nothing to do with this. This was caused by an earthquake, which triggered the tsunami and not God's wrath.

Thanks for sharing the story about this video -
I always wondered what the person in this video was thinking - whether he just wanted to "catch the wave" and he didn't realize the danger he was in, or whether he knew exactly that it was going to be the end - an decided there was no point in running away.
The way he is turning around before the wave hits makes me he probably underestimated the magnitude of the event.
So many people died - it's beyond all grasp.

That's pretty obvious, dude. If you don't die by getting hit by a massive volume of water (like a group of trucks being thrown at you), drowning will finish you off. Anyway, r.ip. to the victims... :(
urbandevildesigns 2 years ago
@cawl2009 no I do not. If he survived the initial impact, the surge would have brough him very far inland. Eventually, he'd be crushed by something. You can see how much water rushes inland after the initial wave. It's like a half super wave, half earth moving. No way he survived. I think even the initial impact would killl him.

evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
and one more thing,
just look up "tsunami anukul charoenkul" on google and you should come across the articles i read. one of them clearly says (even in the words of the cameraman himself) that he filmed the disaster to make money to keep his thai restaraunt in business.
evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
What is your problem? I just read all the articles on him - it says he sold the videos afterwards because his business was failing (as a result of the tsunami destroying Khao Lak). It never once even IMPLIES he didn't help warn people. He was screaming at people down on the beach the whole time to run. And he wasn't sure what was going to happen, just like everyone else. He didn't know about tsunami waves. Should he have gone down and got killed?
Have some decency and respect next time.
CyrusNixes 3 years ago
well yeah actually... in that situation i would have risked my life to possibly save a few people down there... so i would have at least gone all the way to the beach and yelled at them to finally get their attention, not just sit there and film them look on to certain death.
so i'm the one having respect here, you've just misunderstood me.
evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
I'm not gonna get into an obnoxious youtube war, but how was he supposed to know how big the tsunami was gonna be? For all he knew it was gonna be tiny, or so big that even his restaurant way uphill wouldn't be safe. He wasn't psychic - he heard it may come and thats all.
Again, how you can be so disrespectful I just don't understand. You cite the google articles and yet none of the articles say he didn't help warn people.
CyrusNixes 3 years ago
You say you are not going to get into a youtube "war," yet you are provoking one.....hmmm.
And actually he got a phone call from down the coast at Phuket, and he was told him how large the wave was. He got that phone call right after the wave hit Phuket, which was 20-30 mins. before Khao Lak was struck. PLENTY of time to warn some of the people down at Sunset.
Maybe you should actually get to know everything you can about something before being a prick on a video comment.
evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
The first wave in Phuket was 5ft high. The first wave in Khao Lak was 34ft high. If someone called him and said "A tsunami is coming, it just hit here" how would he know A) That it would take 20min for it to hit him B)That it was gonna be so huge it would sweep inland and kill 4,000 ppl.
You first said the guy said he wanted to profit from the disaster once he heard the tsunami was coming. Please show an article that says that\ - cause thats a foolish thing to believe.
CyrusNixes 3 years ago
The first wave was different heights all across Phuket, highest at Patong and Kamala beaches. Khao Lak ultimetely had only one, massive tsunami wave, which battered the coast and killed 4000 + people. This wave was not 34 feet at all locations in Khao lak, either.
He knew when the wave was about to hit because the water receded from the beach at least 5 minutes before the waves actually engulfed the coast.
evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
even if he had, by the time he got back to the top of the hill, people could have still wandered onto the beach. you can't control everything evrgrnn.

i never said he didnt TRY to warn the people on the coast, but he certainly could have made a better effort to warn them. but the truth is (he even said so himself) that the reason he filmed the video was to make money and profit from the disaster. he sold the footage for 300 baht a video.
so you are right and you are wrong at the same time. you are right because you said he TRIED to warn them, but you are wrong because you said that he made a strong effort to warn them, which is untrue.
evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
the guy who filmed this footage only did so to get money off of it. i read a news article about this footage and he said (the cameraman) that when he had heard that a tsunami wave was rushing toward the beach, he grabbed his camera with only money in mind, and didn't really make a strong effort to warn the tourists down at khao lak about the overpowering waves coming toward them. And then he ended up selling the video to people all over thailand.
evrgrnn5280 3 years ago
Thats wrong my friend. The guy who was filming it, was the owner of the restaurant on the cliff. He warned all his customers and other people to get away from the beach. Not many listened, because his english was bad. I don't know where you got this information, but it's completely wrong.
gnidich2000 3 years ago
@gnidich2000 i heard that he filmed it for cash too, he then went to try and film the body , but when he found the man washed up on the beach several hours later, he found the guy was still breathing but unconcious, that he was still alive meant he would get less money for his film footage so he got a nearby coconut and bashed him dead over the head with it like a fisherman kills a caught fish, i know its true as my mate showed me the coconut, it says asda on it and everything.
