Just watched the face of the destruction. As I had expected, there are a lot of Tsunami videos online and I am expecting a lot more to be online soon.
The videos are available here. By the time I checked it out their main mirror has served 764 terabytes of data. Amazing!!!
Wiki also got tons of info.
There is no way for me to serve as one of their mirrors (i dunn have that much of bandwidth) , I want to be 1 though. So I chose one of the smallest files and put it here.
This video shows what I was really talking about in the previous post. The people never thought it was so serious. In most of the vids u see people just watching as the waves approach them.
A general thought about the waves are that they come and go…..sometimes they travel farther than most of the times and it is normal. Mostly the waves touches your feet and then go away. All these thoughts can be seen/heard in the above posted video.
First, the people experiencing the waves get surprised over the height of waves……this surprise doesn’t have fear at all. As the wave approaches them, they don’t even move as they firmly believed that the wave would go back before reaching them. But when the wave doesn’t go back and drench them, you can hear their laughter. They laugh at the innocent waves as the waves make them wet and are playing with all the people on the beach. Soon the laughter transforms into the screams….suddenly the fear, which was missing before, appears and people panic.
That site also had a link to an image. The image is dreadful and has extreme loss of life shown in it. The image can be seen here.
Acc. to Wiki the death toll may rise to 425,488+
Update:
Added another amazing video check it out here
