In 2004, I was five and I was in Thailand with my family during the tsunami. Hopefully, our mother wanted to go the the zoo very early in the morning. The zoo was in a mountain, far from the beach. It’s because of her that we are still alive today! Such a sad event...
I was also there. I was 7 on a family holiday and were staying in the worst hit hotel. My sister saved my life carrying me up to the highest floor. But my father sadly didn't make it as the second wave took him under. A trauma and a tragedy that affected thousands.
The sign of retracting water sadly only has a chance of 50% to occur. It happens if the wave through hits first instead of the crest (peak). Also, the waves height mid-ocean is seldom bigger than 30cm and hardly detectable. It builds up in shallow water near the coast to a few meters and looses 99% of its speed from originally 500-800 kph to around 30-50 kph.
@@Berries.creamm don’t let these guys get in your head lol like the video said, tsunamis almost always happen in the pacific. Florida is on the east coast. You will be in the warmer safer Atlantic Ocean my friend, have fun.
I remember as a kid talking to my cousin(also a kid), he said you could dive under the tsunami and save yourself much like you can do that with normal waves to break through without a slap. Good thing the situation didn't arise, getting smacked in the face at 800km/h and then dragged and slammed against buildings, trees, cars and debris for miles doesn't seem like much fun lol
In 2004 i was 2 years Old and me and my family was in Thailand during the tsunami. My dad grabbed me while He screamed to my mother to focus on her own Life. At a time my dad passed out and my mother took me, and a swedish man helped my dad and Said to my mother she should carry on with me before the next wave would came. We all survived in the end. May good bless that swedish man.
I think strategic thinking in that situation is in order - ask your mother if she wants to head on over to a restaurant 1km inland on a nice hill with great views for some wine.
I was on a small island in Malaysia with no Internet on boxing day 2004, we were on the beach and all of a sudden we were covered with water, so my sister and I rented kayaks to investigate. We forgot about what happened for the next few days, when we got on the mainland we learned about how devastating the tsunami was and that we only survived because of a bigger island blocking us. We eventually made our way to Singapore and went to an Internet cafe to check in with our parents and learned that our dad had reported us missing and the embassy was looking for us. For over a week our parents thought we were dead. Their experience was a nightmare and they were grieving. Lesson learned, always check in after a major disaster so time and resources can be spent on those unaccountable.
if a tsunami comes, which is usually unexpected, you will be screwed. Now despite that they will usually warn you a couple hours ahead of time, that time dosent make up for the packing and the driving. Also where would you go, a hotel like a billion miles away. No amount of research will prep you for a tsunami. It's like when people say stay calm when sharks are around. No regular person would stay calm in that situation. To put it simply, you have to be lucky in order to survive. No amount of skill, research, ect will save you from a tsunami.
the terrifying thing about this is the fact that i went to a beach with my cousins a few days ago and the water was being pulled in a lot.. i didn’t think much of it, as i didn’t know any signs. it was also terrifying bc there was a tsunami warning in my country a week ago or so.
information is ALWAYS important. that being said, i'm in a landlocked area, broke, don't like traveling, and live with family member that medically probably shouldn't go near beaches... i'm almost positive a tsunami won't reach me. i still wanna know how to survive just in case lol.
On holiday in Bali there was a day of Earthquakes, people running into the street, buildings cracking. I went online to check the global tsunami warning site. Waste of time there was no updated information. I wanted to then take a trip inland but I was outvoted. Fortunately a tsunami did not follow but I was the only person concerned!
Well as stupid as it sounds so many people just stay there not being able to move. Lots of people actually get completely frozen by intense fears and stress it's a totally normal reaction (I'm one of those people💀)
I am here, from my Andaman and Nicobar Islands trip. I enjoyed my time there. One that thing got me interested were the *Tsunami warning signs* . I was really interested in them and decided to search about them . Here i am now, reading that people lost their loved ones in such a traumatic event. Reading that makes me imagine myself in the same situation and holy, i feel a sudden shiver down my spine.. Many people in the comments mentioned that their loved ones lost/risked thier life for them. For those who made it , Very Good. I am glad to hear that an innocent person is still alive. It's an act of bravery and courage that you made it ! For those who did not.. You will be remembered, it's a very courageous act to give your life for your loved one!
I'm watching this after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake here in the philippines that triggered a tsunami scare all over our province. Im glad that tsunami didnt happen but I watched it in case of such disaster. Thank God my family are safe.
When I was a kid in Hawaii we had tsunami drills. We left school and walked uphill and in land. Hawaii has an advanced warning system and sirens so you do have time to get to safety.
Yeah I live in the Edward's Plateau of Texas and the only serious water trouble I've seen is from the usual flooding from the freak storms we get in the summer and from hurricane Harvey in 2017
We all need to appreciate and respect the seas and oceans. They are truly magnificent and terrifying at the same time. For me the sheer depth of the ocean is such a scary thing.

Trying to put things together for me as a mom - choose the beach with some hilly background - choose the island with some islands around as shield ones - ask your hotel which internet portal we can watch/ be warned if it is expected to happen. - before going to the beach, make a small talk with kids about what we should look for or do if it ever happens - if you have watched a lot of scary movies with kids, include one with disasters. - keep your eye on water pulling back (only 50% I know but better than nothing)
My aunt and cousin (her daughter) survived the 2004 Tsunami that hit the Sri Lankan island as well. They used to live in the coastal area so they became victim to this hazard. Luckily they have been dragged by the current to a shelter and have been stuck inside that the whole time. My cousin was only a few months old infant. I remember my aunt saying that her hand let go of my cousin but she didn't give up, she somehow reached down the water and caught my cousin back up. It was terrifying, I'm shook at how she handled it and how they managed to survive this whole incident, but I'm glad they're still alive. My cousin is now 16 years old and they're both doing better.
My daughter is 3 months old today. I also have two sons 3 and 7. Imagining trying to get a hold on my tiny child after losing hold is a horrific thought. I'm so glad your aunt and cousin are ok.
Ikr you just think about your family and you’re life. I’m literally still young and I tell my self I’m not ready to die. And I think about my family I don’t want them to die😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩
There was this girl one time in a vacation with her parents, she studies stuff like this and when she saw a sign she instantly told everyone a tsunami is coming tus saving many lives and got rewarded a hero's medal. I forgot her name.
How do more people not know the signs though? I mean I get it if they don’t know what tsunamis are, but chasing the tide after it rapidly gets pulled out, seriously?
The only thing that separates my house and the ocean is an old rusty fence, same for my neighbours. So anytime we have a strong earthquake because mostly we get small ones you can barely feel we have to make sure we don't have a tsunami heading for us.
It's so important for people to know this...Sadly, I've seen a lot of videos and footage of previous moments of tsunamis that happened and was heartbreaking to watch so many ppl, speacially families with children, going into the seabed that was left exposed while the water receded; they were collecting fish and seashells not realizing they were about to die
as someone who lives 3-5 minutes away from the ocean, this is one of my biggest fears but what scares me more is that when dangerous things occur, my family is like eh its okay nothing will happen, even when news is talking about it and all and government says to move away like about a few months ago we got a warning a cyclone will hit and my family is like eh we'll be fine, i live with my grandparents and my mom, so my grandma was the one saying we are ok here its alright even her sons from abroad were telling her we should stay at a hotel for a few days to be safe, but she said no thankfully the cyclone moved to another direction and didnt hit us but it was very close but im scared if something happens, god forbid my family will say its ok and wont do anything about it
Two friends of mine were in Thailand and ended up running up the nearest, tallest hill with the water nipping at their heals. They BARELY survived, along with a random stray dog. They stayed up there for several days. They started a dog rescue organization and a local food stand operator kept them fed until they could fly back to their home in The Netherlands. I hadn't heard of any of this until I happened to see the wife getting interviewed on a local Dutch TV station. That food stand lady was a saint, feeding them and all the other random survivors for free. My friends go back there each year for charity work, mostly for the dogs and are still helped by the food stand owner, friends for life, I'd say!
I’ve always been terrified of tsunamis. My friend lives right next to the beach idk how she isn’t scared. I slept at her house once and couldn’t sleep because I could only hear the waves hitting the rocks. 😂
Same. I was 5 or 6 when the tsunami tragedy in Aceh 2004 happened. They keep showing it on tv for years. I've lost interest in oceanside dwellings becauae of it 😂 unless it's mountain height home overlooking one. No beaches for me thanks. (Tips: The mosques in Aceh are among the only intact buildings when the tsunami hit. All the victims who ran into them survived to tell the stories alongside those whose houses are near them and witnessed it firsthand while they stood on their roofs (there are photographic evidences on this too, might wanna search up on it). So, maybe other than run for the high grounds, the hills, you can try the mosque. Hope this helps lol)
yep. it's your best bet if you live in indonesia. we dont have any strong concrete building nor high places near our beaches, we also do not have tsunami alarms thats functions. you're basically a dead man if you are on the beach when tsunami happens. we stays out from beaches that in the danger zone because we experience major earthquake maybe 5 or 6 times a year. so, if ya'll want to go to our country.... good luck and godspeed.
Every single time I go on holiday I watch out for the signs coz tsunamis are the thing in life that scares me the most and the reason is because I’m scared that if I’m the only one that dies my family will be heartbroken
Sophia Sutton Ohhh I think I watched that wasn’t it like a family went on a holiday then they were all separated after the tsunami and they were tryna find there kids or dad or something
I never thought I would actually have to look into these things cause my city has never had one, but as of this year because of the water levels rising in my city, they just issued out there first tsunami warning drill and said that we will have more drills like this every year.
Seeing multiple people commenting their experiences is astonishing because I get to read their stories. Anyways I'm glad those who went through this tramatic experience are okay.
I’m literally right beside the ocean right now. :D but we are have lot of hill and stuff so the plates don’t go out of place so we never get earthquakes to cause tsunami. But I still scared to ocean. I’m also from mountain region so it scary @-@ Sorry for bad English

I loved this video so much, but when I chooses the Popular tab for the videos, this video was placed for 4th most popular, this video is the most iconic for me
The Korean cram school where I worked nearly lost a teacher in the Boxing Day Tsunami. She was on a sea kayaking vacation. We were alarmed when we didn't hear from her for a couple of days. Then she sent an email out to everybody on her contact list: "I'm okay. I'll tell you about it when I get back." That morning she had gone down to the beach and it didn't look right. She was pondering this when she noticed that the locals were moving away from the beach, so Lisa started walking away from the beach as well. Then she noticed that people were running past her. She looked back and saw the wave and started running. A small pickup truck pulled up along side her as she ran and a man in the back asked, "Do you need help?" Lisa didn't even stop running. She just lifted up her arms and they pulled her into the truck and she was one of the people who got to high ground.
The tsunami in Japan 2011 was massive. I think at the highest point it was measured at 40metres in places where they didn’t have tsunami walls to slow it down.
me who lives nowhere near an ocean and natural disasters most likely won’t happen where i live but still watches like i’m going to need to prepare tonight for one
Honestly my country literally had so many earthquakes and tsunamis before but the thing is that we have coral reefs and mangroves so the tsunami died before it even hit land so we lucky asf

Finally, something useful. I was watching what to do if a sinkhole appeared or if I was attacked by a tiger. LOL. But tsunamis, as we've seen over the past 20 years, happen A LOT. And the really big one in 2004 killed 250,000 people. It could be very useful, tips to survive one. Those 500 Swedish tourists vacationing in Thailand and dying from the 2004 tsunami are a prime example of people who don't live near tsunami zones, but who could've benefited greatly from knowing what to do.

I survived the 2004 tsunami too. I'm from Sri Lanka. On December 26, 2004, tsunamis swept across the Indian ocean, spawned by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Sumatra. Aside from Indonesia, our country Sri Lanka likely suffered the most casualties, with the death toll reported at 21,715 on December 29th. Waves are taller than 100 feet. Please never happened this again... 🙏🙏
i just watched the movie "the impossible" & you are very brave! i cried during the whole movie, its like i witnessed someone else nightmare. i hoped your family also survived that traumatic experience❤️❤️

Well as stupid as it sounds so many people just stay there not being able to move. Lots of people actually get completely frozen by intense fears and stress it's a totally normal reaction (I'm one of those people💀)

Trying to put things together for me as a mom
- choose the beach with some hilly background
- choose the island with some islands around as shield ones
- ask your hotel which internet portal we can watch/ be warned if it is expected to happen.
- before going to the beach, make a small talk with kids about what we should look for or do if it ever happens
- if you have watched a lot of scary movies with kids, include one with disasters.
- keep your eye on water pulling back (only 50% I know but better than nothing)
My aunt and cousin (her daughter) survived the 2004 Tsunami that hit the Sri Lankan island as well. They used to live in the coastal area so they became victim to this hazard. Luckily they have been dragged by the current to a shelter and have been stuck inside that the whole time. My cousin was only a few months old infant. I remember my aunt saying that her hand let go of my cousin but she didn't give up, she somehow reached down the water and caught my cousin back up. It was terrifying, I'm shook at how she handled it and how they managed to survive this whole incident, but I'm glad they're still alive. My cousin is now 16 years old and they're both doing better.
Thank you for sharing this story! ❤️
Jesus. Imagine the trauma that caused having to go through that as a baby. One of your first experiences in the world. Poor girl damn.
damn that's an epic (very terrifying) story, like things we only see in movies
I am glad they are okay
Same a Sri Lankan here and we are like close to the ocean luckily we didn't get effected but was really close to
My daughter is 3 months old today. I also have two sons 3 and 7. Imagining trying to get a hold on my tiny child after losing hold is a horrific thought. I'm so glad your aunt and cousin are ok.

It's so important for people to know this...Sadly, I've seen a lot of videos and footage of previous moments of tsunamis that happened and was heartbreaking to watch so many ppl, speacially families with children, going into the seabed that was left exposed while the water receded; they were collecting fish and seashells not realizing they were about to die
How to survive a tsunami.
1. Learn to swim
2. Prepare a full water proof capsule
3. Live far from oceans LOL
4. Have an airplane ready
Is Boeing 777 enough ?
I guess I better save up for a plane lol
Imma go ride on air
and just in case have a camera always in your hand to record =) You have a high chance to survive if you start recording.
I don’t know how to swim :D and I’m far from the ocean

I’m very surprised someone actually noticed it
@@lolabee1825 everyone ships Eremika and Ereri and I’m over here alone shipping EreMin
as someone who lives 3-5 minutes away from the ocean, this is one of my biggest fears
but what scares me more is that when dangerous things occur, my family is like eh its okay nothing will happen, even when news is talking about it and all and government says to move away
like about a few months ago we got a warning a cyclone will hit and my family is like eh we'll be fine, i live with my grandparents and my mom, so my grandma was the one saying we are ok here its alright
even her sons from abroad were telling her we should stay at a hotel for a few days to be safe, but she said no
thankfully the cyclone moved to another direction and didnt hit us but it was very close
but im scared if something happens, god forbid
my family will say its ok and wont do anything about it

And then the water retreats
tsunami; “you underestimate my power.”
Two friends of mine were in Thailand and ended up running up the nearest, tallest hill with the water nipping at their heals. They BARELY survived, along with a random stray dog. They stayed up there for several days. They started a dog rescue organization and a local food stand operator kept them fed until they could fly back to their home in The Netherlands. I hadn't heard of any of this until I happened to see the wife getting interviewed on a local Dutch TV station. That food stand lady was a saint, feeding them and all the other random survivors for free. My friends go back there each year for charity work, mostly for the dogs and are still helped by the food stand owner, friends for life, I'd say!
I’ve always been terrified of tsunamis. My friend lives right next to the beach idk how she isn’t scared. I slept at her house once and couldn’t sleep because I could only hear the waves hitting the rocks. 😂
that's so nice and scary at the same time lmao
Same. I was 5 or 6 when the tsunami tragedy in Aceh 2004 happened. They keep showing it on tv for years. I've lost interest in oceanside dwellings becauae of it 😂 unless it's mountain height home overlooking one. No beaches for me thanks.
(Tips: The mosques in Aceh are among the only intact buildings when the tsunami hit. All the victims who ran into them survived to tell the stories alongside those whose houses are near them and witnessed it firsthand while they stood on their roofs (there are photographic evidences on this too, might wanna search up on it). So, maybe other than run for the high grounds, the hills, you can try the mosque. Hope this helps lol)
I live very near the beach too, i only have to walk a little to get there, but tsunamis don't occur here so i'm safe :D

The Korean cram school where I worked nearly lost a teacher in the Boxing Day Tsunami. She was on a sea kayaking vacation. We were alarmed when we didn't hear from her for a couple of days. Then she sent an email out to everybody on her contact list: "I'm okay. I'll tell you about it when I get back." That morning she had gone down to the beach and it didn't look right. She was pondering this when she noticed that the locals were moving away from the beach, so Lisa started walking away from the beach as well. Then she noticed that people were running past her. She looked back and saw the wave and started running. A small pickup truck pulled up along side her as she ran and a man in the back asked, "Do you need help?" Lisa didn't even stop running. She just lifted up her arms and they pulled her into the truck and she was one of the people who got to high ground.
Wow, that’s crazy!
