So the guy at 1:40 just accepted his fate?
When the water receded from the tourist areas there were men clinging to trees, signs, poles and whatever else they could have grabbed ahold of to keep from being swept away. But there were almost no women and children with them.
When they came down they immediately began looking for their family members who got ripped away under the rushing water.
I can’t imagine the feeling of doom and utter helplessness in that situation. Where do you even begin looking? How can you even have hope that they’re still alive?
After the Japanese tsunami hit a reporter was walking through one of the villages along the coast. There is a man sitting on a big concrete slab. He told the journalist that’s where his home previously was. And both his parents, his wife and four children were home at the time.
There’s no bouncing back from that. Can’t even begin to relate to that feeling.
Maybe the earthquake affected the water
“Nahhhh”
I owned a bar at this time and I remember having it up on the TVs we were all watching it in disbelief.
Crazy how it doesn’t even look that scary or bad in the far distance and people are just watching the distant waves.
It too crazy to watch. “Oh look, the water is disapearing. Oh look huge waves incoming” And still chilling on the beach…
“What is this?” Woman gets it right: “Maybe an ocean earthquake” and he is like: “Nah, cant be”
I got stuck on an Island for about a week off the Western coast of Thailand during this. not having any reliable internet connection and having no idea what really happened was wild
I think before this event was captured on film, everyone thought of a tsunami as a visibly massive wave that rose up to be the size of a tower block.
If there’s anything positive to come out of this, it’s that we now know what a tsunami actually looks like and now we know, it’s an absolutely terrifying sight.
A child, a baby, was found on the side of a mountain in Sri Lanka, almost 200ft in elevation, two days after the tsunami. The child was found under an overturned row-boat. However, parents didn’t survive and/or no one was able to identify the baby :((
Daily Dose of people dying on Reddit
“Maybe the earthquake affected the water?”
“Nahhh”
*insert curb your enthusiasm theme*
Crazy how this event completely changed tsunami preparedness. I was in like 2nd grade when this happened and lived in western Pennsylvania, far from Amy tsunami prone areas. I still had it drilled into me that if I was ever at the beach and saw the water recede quickly, run to high ground as fast as possible. Also, if there’s an earthquake, get the fuck off the beach. The German guy saying “nahhh” about the earthquake affecting the water is insane
this is one of my worst nightmares getting sucked into that giant ocean
“Maybe the earthquake affected the water”
“Naaaah”
There’s a good documentary-esque video on YouTube of this whole thing where it’s individual videos taken from lots of different perspectives. It’s crazy how unaware you realize people are of Tsunami conditions. People watched the ocean recede hundreds of meters, boats completely beached and everything, and they were like “wow so cool!” instead of realizing what was coming.
EDIT: Found the link: https://youtu.be/llSqzpsuq7c?si=z2HHOQhdcUHiHJaw
The number of people saying they would have run the second the water receded is hilarious. Most of you would have been walking that beach and too terrified when you realized what was going on to move a muscle.
You know what to do because of this exact tsunami and what has been burned into the psyche of the world for the last 20 years.
Always crazy to me how people just be standing on the beach staring from a distance, I would be running with the Scooby Doo noises
200k? Jesusss
“Maybe the earthquake affected the water”
“Nahh”
In 2004, many people, including me, had no clue what a tsunami was or how bad it would get.
We just watched a man die
That dude just standing there was, chilling…
Just horrible ! Mother Nature can be a real bitch
More scary and sad than interesting tbh :\
If you ever see animals start to head to high ground, follow:
You just can’t help yelling at the screen.
I wonder how many of those clips are from cameras that were found later
As a German, this dudes voice lives rent free in my head.
Random.guy : “Its a tsunami “,
Other random guy Nonchlantly :”Yea?”
I was working for a Scandinavian tour operator when the tsunami hit, and I had many colleagues on location. Miraculously, none of them lost their lives, but they had horrifying stories to tell afterward.
A few years later, I was visiting the head office and noticed three filing cabinets standing in a corner. I asked what they were. They contained complaints from Thailand-travelers who had their trips shortened, didn’t get their duty-free on the flight, and so on. So many! Bonkers.
Imagine watching a tsunami roll in, and somebody says “maybe the earthquake affected the water?” And you’re like NAHHH
Will likely be the largest natural disaster in all of our lifetimes.
They had like 4 business days to get the hell out of there.
I’ll never forget being in a hotel room in Austin, TX, and it was the day after Christmas. I was traveling with my HS basketball team (I was one of the team managers) and seeing this on the news.
I had thought 9/11 was as bad as it was going to get, and then this happened three years later. It was horrifying to watch. Right at Christmas.
Still unbelievable after so many years. RIP to all who perished there.
I think I remember a story of a baby surviving by floating on top of a mattress
I’ve seen a lot of footage of that tsunami and the aftermath, but I’ve *NEVER* seen the clip of the guy on the beach just get washed away into oblivion… holy shit, that hurt my heart.
A terrible event
Utterly terrifing
I can’t believe how long it took some people to realize how bad the situation was.
Oh that’s awful ..
Forced of nature are very powerful. Sad to see this old footage.
2 things: were those warships that got completed fucked up? second, we just watched someone basically kill himself…
You have to understand that this was so disastorous because the entire SE and S Asian coast was under-developed and under-educated than the world. People were ignorant and did not undertake evacuation plans. Water just came in and took people away, before they could rush out of their buildings.
Buddy just stood there and took a full tsunami to the face.
The German woman has the right instincts. She doesn’t understand what is happening but when her other half points out how tall the waves are she says maybe we should get away from the beach. She also says later on in the clip that maybe it is an Earthquake in the ocean. Her other half appears to be oblivious to the danger they are in until the water has reached them. This is video alarming to watch. I hope they made it.
There’s a NatGeo docu on this event that was released in 2024 for those who are curious. Title is Tsunami: Race Against Time.
This is one of the most intense depictions of being in a tsunami I can think of

I’m from Kerala India. A state which was affected by Tsunami. Still remember the day like yesterday. The 12 year old me was scared for a really long time.
I wasn’t there.
But I was there soon after. My ship was already heading that direction for an unrelated mission. We ended up going to Singapore and loading up on emergency supplies and sailing there soon after.
