Taken from my balcony at 2 pm on 26 Dec 2004, about 5 hours after the Boxing Day Earthquake in Indonesia. We are looking east on the side of Penang away from where the tsunami came from.

    Quote

    no one knew how tragic that tsunami was going to be, so he's laughing not realising the intensity of the suituation. Also people laugh without meaning to at times of excitement and anxiety.. ....im sure he's not just a cold hearted prick. etc.... Unquote

    He is my son, who at 14 had no idea of the immensity of this tragedy. No one else really knew either until some time later. We lost a very dear friend in Phuket because of this tsunami. RIP Rhonda Butler.

  • Thanks for uploading. I live in Penang too and I didn't have a clue how bad the tsunami was but I was glad my family was nowhere near the coast then. Don't let some Asians or Foreigners get to you. I understand that sometimes out of excitement, it is natural to laugh. Hey, I'm asian too, literally seriously! Regardless where, there are always mean people. 'Haters Shithead' is what I call them. I just rather be neutral because sometimes others have made it shameful for me to call myself human.

  • Hey thats my car!

  • Thumbs up, if you are watching this because of the tsunami in japan

  • For all those bloody idiots that comment that the guy is a prick, if you watch the video you should pay attention to what actually is happening

    If my school was ruined i would be so happy, so of course he is laughing. We were watching it first hand, not watching tv like the rest of you, listening to what had occur everywhere else, and hearing the damage it had caused. For all we need it was a random wave that nature produced that didnt hurt anyone, we didnt have a view of the whole asia you know

  • @atticuscorleone laugh at you country, what the hell, we fucking loved that island, had some of the best memories on it.

    the only reason that guy is laughing is because it flooded school> '

    my best friend is malaysian okay so don't make us sound fucking racist!

    btw red necks are american, we are not american

    When we recorded this , there was no news saying that it hit anywhere else. no news telling us that people actually died. we know it isnt funny

    i knew people that perished , so fuck off

  • He's fucking laughing because the water went into his school.They are laughing because they were amazed at how easy the car's were moved! they were devestated-why would they be laughing if people were dying, We felt the quake we saw a single wave wash out cars, but from what we saw from our apartment everyone was safe. how the hell we at were suppose to know that people were fucking dying. i have friends that died that day. So don't you dare say that your sorry that it wasnt our asses down there

  • Even though there was laughing we can look beyond that and realise that they will still be affected by this experience for life because they were still there to see the aftermarth and death and that is the hardest thing to live on with. Thanks for sharing and sorry about your friend.

  • Oh my god Oh my lord oh my god that wife is omfg

  • r u still in malaysia?
