The Indian Ocean Tsunami was one of the worst national disasters ever in recorded history. What made this so deadly? Was it the disaster itself, or the response to it in the immediate aftermath?

I left the Andeman island almost exactly an year before the Tsunami hit the island. When i first left, i coincidentally met my childhood friend, and his parents where we next shifted, about 9 months later they moved from the mainland to the Andeman islands. His mom was my dad's childhood friend. On one destined day, we got a call early in the morning, informing us about the tsunami. My friend explained it tye following. " the water came rushing in and before we realized half of our building was underwater, somehow we managed to get on the roof, soon realizing it wouldn't be enough as another wave came in and washed us off the roof, the next time i remember was me wedged between a tree trunk with mother holding on to a nearby tree, all i remember her saying was, hold on, don't let go....A wave came, and she was gone" My friend was left with injuries all over his body because of the debris, however his waistewas particularly in a bad shape because of being sucked and stuck between a tree branch. My friend watched his mother for the last time that day, and sadly, her body was never found as well.

I had a vivid tsunami dream once that is up there as the most terrifying nightmares I’ve ever had. I was swimming with my sister in a beachside hotel pool, and I noticed the waves receded way too far. I shouted at my sister, and we got out and began walking back toward the hotel. My mom started shouting at us from the balcony to get to higher ground quickly, and before we could leave the pool plaza and enter the building, water was visibly rushing forward. We ended up being pinned to the wall by water, and my sister was able to begin climbing balconies. I’ve always been shorter and weaker and I scrambled for a while but was able to get up eventually. Watching the people get stuck in debris and screaming was to most difficult part. I remember wondering where my dad went, and if mom was okay, and it was just a horrific nightmare. Couldn’t sleep after that one and had to call my parents just to check in. I can’t imagine the lasting scars of those who have actually lived through or lost someone to a tsunami. My heart goes out to them.

As the video points out, there were simply no advanced warning systems in place in 2004. Also, many people near the epicenter of the 9.2M megathrust earthquake felt strong shaking for several minutes but didn't have a clue that the earthquake would trigger destructive and deadly tsunami waves. There are videos of people seeing the strange sight of the sea receding ahead of the first wave who curiously went to investigate and thus stood no chance of survival as it bore down upon them. In New Zealand we lie on the major plate boundary between the Indo-Australian and Pacific plates with a subduction zone beginning to the east of the upper south island that stretches all the way to Tonga. Recently along this fault line there was a magnitude 8.1 megathrust earthquake that ruptured near the Kermadec Islands that didn't thankfully produce devastating tsunami waves. Our Civil Defence agency occasionally plays TV ads telling us if an earthquake feels long or strong it's time to get to higher ground. What is quite common in the country I am from and still live in is the amount of complacency that is prevalent. Occasionally when news articles are released about the risk of major earthquakes in this country there is always that element of people who call it "scaremongering" as it's "not likely to happen in our lifetimes". These kind of people would no doubt whinge about not being educated enough if a major earthquake does strike our country. Just over 10 years ago a 6.3M earthquake devastated the city of Christchurch and killed 185 people, so it stands out as a clear example to not take earthquakes lightly. Even in Japan in 2011 with that megathrust earthquake it still managed to claim almost 16K lives and Japan being a very seismically active country had pretty decent warning systems in place.

As someone who lives very far from a tectonically active area, it’s hard to imagine being near the ocean, feeling an intense quake, and being like “eh, whatever, might as well take a leisurely stroll and look for damage or something instead of getting to higher ground.”

This is not true. Island of Java had specially designed systems to provide advanced warnings. But as you can read in an interview in Nature, Nanang Puspito outlined the lack of proper phone connection which barred them from alerting Jakarta the necessary information to take action. Jakarta had knowledge of the earthquake. But even if they could, the most advanced systems like in the Pacific Ocean first alerted Thailand and Indonesia no serious threat was looming. It took an hour to correct that. By them, the tip of Sumatra wouldn’t have truly had time regardless. And They also had other systems but they just were inadequate. Thailand and Indonesia are on the warning alert system. This network has incredibly accurate scientific systems to measure seismic activity. The Indian Ocean does not have that infrastructure however yes each country does have devices in place to measure seismic activity. But when inadequate, it makes it very difficult to make accurate predictions in a timely way. Also none of those videos you reference are from the area of Aceh which was the land site closest of the epicenter. Those videos exist but they are relevant bc this would have been first instance in this specific tsunami. Meaning, the retreat was an estimated hundreds of meters. You are reading that correctly. I’d like to think I’d react correctly but that’s literally unbelievable. Biblical even. It’s one thing if a tell tale sign presents itself. But hundreds of meters of retreating ocean? That would be like being in a monumentally large thunderstorm then immediately on a dime it get calm and clear. I’m from Oklahoma so Im very familiar with the signs as the plains get twisters regularly. I know it’s possible for weather to calm just before given tornadoes almost always atleast in the plains occur on the leading edges of the fronts. So it would make sense as the system curls to get brief reprieve and thenUnimaginable devastation. The more calm, the bigger the edge, the bigger the tornadoes. But if it’s a huge storm and it happens THAT fast, I might not think this is dangerous bc how could that Happen in that sequence? Much like it’s highly unusual for water to reheat hundreds of meters. But this wss also one of the largest quakes every recorded. It’s important to capture the nuance of the situation. They were just idiots. This was impossibly unique. And honestly for them given the water retreat, they actually couldn’t escape regardless unfortunately

The Tsunami scene in the movie: ‘The Impossible’ (2012) (along with the Tsunami in ‘Hereafter’ (2010) has to be the most: chilling, realistic tsunami scene I’ve ever seen in a movie. There is no musical score whatsoever, it’s all complete happenstance, as your just watching all those innocent people mothers, fathers, children old men and women just get obliterated by the tsunami, as it destroys everything in its path. Just watching those innocent people get swept by the wave as they scream in agony as they get swept through the debris and bushes underwater. You can literally feel almost everything in this scene.The Impossible (2012) and ‘Hereafter’ (2010) are the most realistic tsunami scenes i have ever seen in a movie.

@@sigisoltau6073 it is because there are so many chains of islands that can break the waves before it reaches the coastal areas. The tsunami's destruction had the farthest reach at Piring Beach, Sibolga, and Nias, for the west coast region. Both locations are on North Sumatera Province. At Nias and Sibolga it varies between 1-3 meters. Coming south to the West Sumatera Province, there is another archipelago, Mentawai, which helps breaking waves from Indian Ocean. And any waves from Sibolga direction had weakened since there is a shallow water. Based on simulation, there should be many tsunami waves on Mentawai and West Sumatera coastal areas. Nevertheless, the height was low enough to cause massive destruction.

I remember this very well. It was boxing day right after Christmass and as was our family tradition, we always went to swim at Kenyatta beach in Mombasa, Kenya. The waves that day were bigger than usual which was enjoyable. My Dad now retired then worked at the Kenya Ports Authority. I just remember my elder sister who wasn't swimming yelling at us to get out of the water. We did and about an hour later beach officials were asking people to leave the water. My Dad had received the news early as an official at the port. Sadly, a few people died as a result of being carried off by unpredictable waves.

Another factor was the lack of awareness from the public in these places… meaning even once people were warned many either did not take it seriously or did not know what to do and what not to do… for example seeing tides retreat does not mean it’s a good time to go shell picking on the exposed sea floor… it’s a sign that you must pick up your legs and run faster than you’ve ever ran in your life towards high ground. Not that long ago Tonga was hit by an underwater eruption and a tsunami absolutely ravaged them… although infrastructure damage was intense, there were very few casualties considering the violence of the tsunami and the proximity of the islands… that is attributed to the fact that these people are constantly well aware of the risks and were well prepared to react quickly and get themselves to safety. Since 2004 that’s has changed a lot since countries that are not used to getting hit understand they still might get hit and people tend to be better prepared now a days… added to the fact that information can circulate quickly it’s a game changer. I lived in hawaii during the Tonga eruption and the earthquake in NZ in the last few years, we almost immediately got a notification on our phone that tsunami warnings were in affect and even though we had a slight chance of a significant hit considering the distance, we were still warned to be ready to head to higher ground and stay clear from the beach…

Thankfully in Hawaii we are right in the middle and quite a distance away from tsunamis… what the idiots in the other response to your comment are missing is that Hawaii is one big chain of volcanoes and some still active and that’s a risk as an under water eruption or landslide is plenty enough to cause damage. Thankfully those are rare but the people are well informed and the warning systems quite effective. Like more recently during the NZ earthquake and Tonga eruption… thankfully I was actually taking a natural disaster course during that time so learned a lot about it as it happens since well we covered it in class in real time. One thing people underestimate is in both cases of tsunami warnings we had although we didn’t get hit it had a significant affect on the tides and currents (our lecturer showed us a normal tide gage compared to how it was that day and oh boy was it a massive difference). What that means is stronger currents and ocean conditions than usual and Hawaii already being a very dangerous place , it made it way worse. So if you were a clueless tourist swimming in the wrong spot that usually is fine you could get caught in a rip and end up off shore…

So what would happen if you were standing on the sea floor when this happened? Would you move up with the plate? Or would it move so fast it kills you?

Youd be dead from the pressure of the water before this would even happen. However, if you had some kinda anti pressure suit, it would move so fast it would kill you. The G force would probably kill you alone but the instant energy and thus insanely increased pressure from the water, even if just for a small moment would kill you and break whatever anti pressure suit you were using to stand on the sea floor anyway.

The weird thing about the very few people who died in South Africa. They were unaware of the earthquake and just went swimming as per usual and the waves took them in. A sad and weird way to go 😢

Correct me if I’m wrong but there is no warning system for the Atlantic, specifically covering the West African coast to the eastern US coast. I’m right on the northern east coast of the US and often wonder about the chances of an major to catastrophic event happening
