It's gotta be fake. For one thing, I wouldn't be standing around snapping pictures on the tenth floor of a building that was right on the coast if I saw something like that coming.  And second, when a wave that big gets close to land, the tide level drops dramatically. I'm not an expert on this, so I could be totally wrong, but I doubt water would be rushing over the sea walls at this moment in time. I would expect it to be all mud right there against the coast.

Very fake and not in good taste mate!  This is a really tragic thing with over 140,000 lives lost, educate people do not look on this lightly! 

My beliefs are that Heaven and Hell are hear on Earth and I believe Earth should be our God!  Without the planet we can not survive we need water, food and oxygen.  We destroy the Earth everyday and as tragic and sad as the recent tsunami it is far worse what we do to the planet everyday.  We live on a fragile living planet and you truly never know what can happen in any given moment so take every minute to appreciate what we have.  How could hell be any worse than a human being being in Prison, hotter, No freedom, rape, fear, boredom, what would added flames do make it unbareable?  Pff

This site will show you picture of just one spot in a country and the mass of destruction that was done by the water surge.

This article really explains the continued hell these people are enduring and there are more than enough PEOPLE AND MONEY on this planet that could have responded and helped. Whoever your God is how do you get forgiven for not as an entire religious community send all your money and people to help these people.

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/video/tsunami-indonesia12-2004.qt  This will show you a reprensentation of the wave, in a boat you may have risen4 to 6 feet and not even noticed due to it traveled at about 460 mph.

I think I read that it was 2 major waves.  One right on top of the other, with the currents inside the waves doing the largest part of the damage.

I think we do do a lot of damage to the environment but what's that got to do with prison Eni?

Stu was saying to me earlier that a single serious volcanic eruption puts more toxic emissions into the air than all the combined manmade pollution throughout history. 

It would seem that there's not much we can do.  Shouldn't stop us trying though.
