Does the Tsunami strike your town ?

@@allo8076 thank God it didn’t. Beacuse it’s in the middle of the island of Sumatra, and Aceh is in the north and faces directly to the ocean.

👍

i also remember that time when i was like 3 years old. The earthquake hit really strong even me and my elder brother crawling on the ground or squat cuz if we stand it makes our head dizzy. I dont live in aceh but in Medan, its still in the same province (north sumatera). I remember all the adult people shout tsunamiiii tsunamiii runnn. Water is rising etc.. My father turn on the motorcycle and bring me and my elder brother(he was 10 yo) to the hills. Then my dad came back again to pick up my mom to save her to the hill or evacuation area. We waited for 30 minutes but still nothing happened. Thanks God tsunami didn't hit my city. We all were cried and praying for gratefulness to God. But we prefer to stay in evacuation area for one to two days to anticipate if something bad might happen suddenly. After all safe. We came back to home with a quarter of our house were broken so does all my neighbors house. But we sti thankful that we are alive . We watch the news and tv all about earthquake and tsunami. We cried to watch aceh.

Sorry for your loss, that's very sweet of you

I’ve always wondered why there is no footage of the first waves hitting the coast of Indonesia. All the footage taken in the city Banda Aceh was located about 2 miles inland when the water kept coming in a form of a giant flood. But it makes sense because if anyone by the coast that wasn’t on high ground recorded the waves was most likely killed. The first Tsunami wave that hit Banda Aceh was 50 to 80 ft high and the other waves of the Tsunami that hit other parts of Indonesia were 100 to 115 ft high, on the whole west coast of Aceh Sumatra. All the towns on the coast were destroyed. Much bigger waves than in Thailand and Shri Lanka. Not everyone knew what a tsunami was so they weren’t prepared.

I heard the initial wave was 100 feet high, very sad no one had a chance

​​@@eb3674 The highest wave even reached 51m. That wave destroyed not just houses, or buildings in the coast where it hit but literally the half of Labuhan Hill

There is some footage, but very little.

I feel so sorry I lived in bali but not only aceh is hit hard by tsunami in Indonesia also palu

Respect from a russian

So sorry for your loss.How are you doing?

Do you know the day it strike your town, Aceh ? Can you explain your observation ?

Please ,tell me about the mosque ,the only structure that withstood the destructive tides ,,what was so special about the mosque, the muazzin and the Imaam that the tsunami spared it ,I wanted to do research but am not able to go there for different reasons

@@shaheenamobin4721 we muslims believe that Allah save his homes (masjeed). But if u want to know the structures u can google the pictures of masjeed in aceh. People in aceh have built strong buildings structures for many many years, my mother's house was built in 1985 and Alhamdulillah still stand until now even after many small earthquakes and 3 big earthquakes, the 3 big earthquakes are : 9 Richter Scale in dec 2004, 8.5 RS in march 2005, and 8.5 RS in 2012. The house wasnt built by architect, it was built by traditional builders who never learn architecture. Earthquake often happens in aceh thats why traditional builders in aceh have knowledge to build strong buildings even though they never learn architecture, thats why when strong earthquake happens, there was only non to minor damages to buildings. Thats why the cost to build a house in aceh is very very expensive. On dec 26th 2004, all buildings were destroyed by tsunami, only a few destroyed by earthquake because the land collapsed, at that time no buildings survived against tsunami but masjeeds survived, because Allah saved it.

my family was on holiday to.we're from Qld and we were on holiday in vic oz,oceania on when this happened.today i believe that everyone concerned are slowly getting there lives back togeether.

You were there? Glad you made it out alive!

@@ryotanada Well, I'm leaving my house just 1 hour before the earthquake and tsunami happen

Why dont we just call it as Dangdutan?😂

@@-amanda6132 Kamu yang benar saja lah nak. Itu adalah acara olahraga yang dimana atlet dari luar Indonesia diizinkan ikut saat Aceh masih dalam kondisi darurat sipil. Memang nahasnya, hari penyelenggaraannya bersamaan dengan musibah dahsyat tersebut. Jadi, kalau kamu bukan orang Aceh, mending diam saja ya.

@@zahrazakariaalwy2525 Ooo-

Probably because of the after effect of tsunami, the insurgency movement, and sharia law. Business would naturally move to more stable and relaxed area, and if i got money, why would i live in such restrictive area ?

Opening business and creating jobs in Aceh is harder compared to the neighboring provinces because Aceh government have huge corruption culture. Even asking for a building permit cost a lot even though it's supposed to be free.

@@Kevin-fj5oe Yeah, Sharia Law is a big mistake. Instead of teaching them the Quran, they should put the effort into teaching them skills that will help them have a career.

@@hearmenow909 sharia law is not a mistake ,it is a blessing and they must make Qur'an teaching mandatory as it is the way of life a Muslim should live ,don't impose your belief on others

I heard this too, that the local regulation in Aceh make investors hard to come. I believe that Aceh has abundant natural resources and beautiful nature but if there is no capital, no investor, the people of Aceh cannot utilize it. I once had friends from Aceh who are now studying abroad. I hope this young generation is willing to come back to Aceh and build their region. I hope the local government also have some kind of flexibility and innovation to increase their economy.

@@1922ricky Lo nanya orang luar ngeri pake bahasa indo kocak awok¹⁰

I think this might've killed more people than nagasaki, probably hiroshima too. A VERY,very horrific event for anyone that was there to witness it.

Yeah back then we got loads of conflicts back then I mean we still have conflicts now but not as much as back then

yeah, this is politic they should hide the history untill some other country bring it back to the air.. even HUMAN RIGHT criminial from 25 year Aceh conflict is not even judged yet untill today 😑

Yeah. This disaster stopped the rebellion and the separatist ideas. Some people even claimed that it's a divine intervention. Whichever it is, it killed hundreds of thousands...

I love u
