Imagine you as a parent with one 5 year old son and two 4 year old daughters. Now imagine them being swept up by this Tsunami to never see them again... how do you fell about this now?
ahh :( This brings back memories. I was in this Tsunami when I was only 6 years old and my brother was 3. We were on vacation there because it's where my parents were born and family and friends lived there. You have no idea what it's like. It was HORRIBLE. My dad badly hurt his leg and hand. One of their friends died. My mom, bro and me( my dad was still being hospitalized)were in the newspaper for making a fundraiser for kids living there.:) Now, all of us our are fine :)

This is Sri Lanka Galle.. it's so horrifying and yes we will never know how the people who really faced it felt.. at the end of the video the woman is shouting for he son who maybe went out and is caught in the wave.. we can only assume... people cannot understand what happened suddenly.. THIS WAS THE SADDEST CLIP OF THE TSUNAMI IN SRI LANKA.. Cos you see the girls getting washed away from where they are hanging on to dear life. The worst affected was hambantota..
it is very disgusting to see that some people actually laugh for this whole catastrophe. probably that is because they do not have anyone to love and probably that have not been loved throughout their lives.
all i have to say to people who make fun of this tragic situation is
my father, aunt, a friend, two maids and two drivers got killed from the tsunami which struck Sri Lanka on 24th December, 2004. i was just 12 then. most of these people cannot understand how much we grieve even after 6 years. our loved ones will never come back into our lives. the saddest part is i never gave a final kiss to my dad, nor a goodbye. i never even saw his coffin. my relatives didn't want me to see my father dead. but we don't know where my aunt was burried.
@jehanlive Correct. I've had many pizzas and ginger beers in the rooftop restaurant where this video was shot. So sad. Sinhalese are the kindest people.
In last 10 years, in almost every year there are tsunamis, tornados, hurracains ( Katrina, Ike, Ear, Wilma etc. ) floods ( in this year - Poland x 2, France, Pakistan, Czech Republic, Germany etc ), earthquakes. The world will come to end sooner as people think. I ve watched the news today -- Mexico under water, Pakistan under water, Hurricane on west coast of USA. That is sick ! !
@TheReignManSonic it's sad to say but in the future we're gong to see this kind of stuff many times because humanity is spreading all over the globe also in dangerous area affected by tornado, tsunami, tidal waves, volcanoes, ecc... world is behaving properly: it's mankind who does not.
Quanta ignorância relacionar catastrofes naturais com religiões e crenças... Tais acidentes nada teem a ver com Deus ou com a fé, são puramente naturais e atingem pessoas de todas as crenças. Só os imbecis e idiotas são capazes de falar em milagres e intervenções divinas.
@diegitoseis thats ok. in that situation you need to calculate really carefully if you could actually help the guy or just drown with him. not easy decision.
@mdushiii Knowing how to swim won't help you much against that force. You have no chance at all unless you're lucky enough to snage something sturdy enough to climb.
@nickthestick26 My parents grew up in a neighbouring suburb and they knew a lot of people who passed away. An autopsy confirmed that my dad's cousin didn't survive because he had been stranded for so long and couldn't keep his head above the water rather than due to the impact of the wave itself.
My heart goes out to everyone who perished in this disaster. But this is a demonstration of the power of nature. Nature doesn't care, nature is stupid and brute force. There is no religious logic or reason behind this. None whatsoever, so don't kid yourself. Gargantuan amounts of power were stored in some rocks for around 200 years, the rocks snapped, the sea heaved above the rocks, and sent water to these places that killed hundreds of thousands. That's all. There is no God in this.
@Mikeferrari69 actually... there is a significant population that believes in christ in SL, who died or lost family that day... how about them? this has nothing to do with religion.
this is not God's punishment...this is a natural course...think about: Why god will punish people that live a so hard life like them? God hate them? or is god a sadistic, that like see your creation faling in sufering?
The USA also will have your corse, remenber os San Andreas and Yellow Stone, and the USA is CHrist Countrie, is not it?
Don't be a fool, you are not the only one that deserve the God's bless or that you are free of the Nature Fury!
yellowstone and all the volcano eruption might come very soon. dinosaurus dissapeared because of that so now is our turn. hopefully not dencember 2012.
@ghettotaco2 I dont think you have a clue what those people went through. It was absoultely awful to see people die infront of their loved ones. You are either stupid or ignorant or both.
i agree, the only words i can use to describe this is what horror....but if you think that the All-Intellegential Creator doesnt exist then u have a long way to go. Hurt, pain, horror, & Earthly death has always been and ever will be until we cease to exist on this plane of existence.but there is so much more to Life, the miracle that we are even alloted life on this planet, the miracle in this planet existing at all should prove to you an Intellegient Designer. If you Believe you can see.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@spikwizflo: yes it's horrible. But what if god chose to become one of us to taste death like the rest of us? And what if, in so doing, he punched a hole through death and came out the other side? All to make a way for us 'cause he likes us. That's 1) awesome, and 2) undeserved.
When thinking through the problem of pain and death, it's helpful to remember that Christ understands: He went through it, too. That's a good start, and it's more helpful than keeping a vague generic concept of 'god'
I understand, but what you say to me means that we are not certain. We search explanations about god's activities. The big disasters of the world, they put back always the question of the existence of god. I think that the humanity should not have to be sedentary. We should not have to believe that the planet belongs to us. And that's all.
unbelievable. i can't even remember what i wrote, but i remember it being thoughtful and compassionate. It certainly didn't deserve to get voted down to the point of not being displayed, as if it were some epithet-laden flame. People just responding negatively to the mere fact of my belief in Christian theism.
Alot of people think that a tsunami is just a "giant wave." That is not true, this video demonstrates that perfectly. Tsunamis are really oceanic floods. The front of the flood is like a wave, but after the front there is a giant flood of water that just keeps pouring into the coast until the entire wavelength of the tsunami has hit.
i can not imagine trying to survive those waters at all. the force of the water and the amount of debris how could you stay afloat without being impaled or caught on or under something? the current taking you anywhere it wants. luck of the draw i guess.
we were there,. we were saved by some local fishermen as we went on boat ride and was on way back to the sea from the canal in nugumbo bless all the people who we love so much ,and owe so much, please still help them
can you helpme find the video,you view Banda Aceh : Tsunami Videos Part 1(you tube),i want tyhe original video,i think you are best,can you help me?please...........
