Tsunami: Caught on Camera - Part 4/8

Christmas Day 2004, and across the Indian Ocean, tourists from around the globe are enjoying dream holidays in the sun. But none of them know that the very next day their video cameras will capture one of the most devastating natural disasters in recorded history, which will leave nearly 300,000 dead in eleven countries.

Five years on, and told almost entirely using amateur footage, much of it never broadcast before, Tsunami: Caught on Camera is the moving true story of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami told through the eyes of those who were actually there.

Shot by ordinary people across the Tsunami's huge impact area, the remarkable amateur footage reveals what happened when the waves, caused by a massive underwater earthquake, hit land.

This powerful, bold and intimate film reveals what it was like to be caught up in the events of that day and tells stories of panic and heart-breaking loss, as well as courage and miraculous survival.

@goldcherries i appreciate ur opinion, she just came across stupid to me..i guess people deal with it in so many different ways and who knows what ppl r thinking in that awful panic mode unless we were there right..oh well.

@MsBrianaJean it's not her fault she's smiling. She's just trying to keept her emotions under control (you can she's almost about to cry), and people do this by trying to keep their face smiling so that they can reassur themselves everything is alright.

@Bienville25 the fucking waves had no sense.

when watching tv,all you need to do is pause the tevo.but try as they might,pausing didnt stop the waves.bad software engineering.

The UN wants to extend human rights to the planet. If the planet is equal to humans than that means we need to hold the planet accountable for the hundreds of thousands of deaths it caused. We should go to war against the planet... see how foolish that sounds? lol
