its amatuer video.... the 1st wave usually equals to around 10m - 20m, depending on the gradient of the sandbank.... the wave generally gets smaller, however increase in velocity.. therefore the damage is sustainableArgonaut said:My brother was watching news coverage of the tsunamis and commented that they just look like King Tides and he couldn't see how they caused so much carnage. I guess we have Hollywood to blame for that - every time a tsunami is shown it's the height of a skyscraper.
And the American networks are being rather tactless, showing shots of beaches covered with hundreds, if not thousands, of bodies. They were very careful not to show anything like that on September 11, but now that it's someone else's problem they'll show whatever they want.
i completely agree with you about the environmental issue- we are raping our planet to no end. but this disaster is actually an effect of mother nature, not so much by humans.braindrainedAsh said:Now the confirmed death total is something like 87000 according to Sky UK.... it's just horrible.
It makes you wonder if maybe instead of creating wars on terror and human conflict that we should be thinking more about taking care of our environment and living in harmony with the natural world... because it can cause more havoc than Al Quaeda ever could.
