- Dear interested, for the greater majority in middle-europe it had not been obvious, up to that very catastrophe, exactly what characteristics are shown by a tsunami (for instance 3 sequential waves). The video actually depicts the third wave of the tsunami as it impacts the bay of Kathanoi, which was not directly situated in the worst hit regions (such as Kao Lak and Patong Beach). Therefore it was not apparent that a natural disaster was occurring (I believe to no one who was there at that time). After the first wave people gathered and set up their motor bikes again, normal life seemed to continue as if nothing bad happened. A second (smaller wave) came along the street. I understand your view of me being light-headed, going closer to the coastal region to make a movie. This was due to my little knowledge of how such a catastrophe takes its course and I think that many people lost their lives due to this lack of knowledge! Some were even entering the beach area. I must admit that today, as wide-spread media representation has covered this event I do not know what the hell has driven me to go there and that an enormous amount of luck, as well as the "lid of the pool maintenance shaft" have saved my life. Hope I could answer some open questions. HJK
I think a lot of people died as a result of checking out the tsunami
Hi
Yeah because of the ignorance of that a tsunami it's
Yes just grab your family run run
@@patosullivan8391 I think the one post this comment is dead too
@@diegoriosmx606 if tide go out quickly you just run for hills
This video really demonstrates how difficult it can be to see a tsunami coming at you. It's no wonder so many people are killed by them when there is no warning. I mean, if you're looking for some big wave out there, you're dead before you realize where the danger is actually coming from.
When you see water recededing find higher ground immediately. This tourist is retard you see water coming run nope not him. Lol
True
the warning was the big ass earthquake they just had 2 hours before.
Well first of all India and Sri Lanka would not have felt the earthquake at all. It was all the way across the Indian Ocean some 2500 miles away. Thailand would have only felt a minor quake as the epicenter was far to their south. As for Banda Aceh not to mention pretty much everywhere else in the Indian Ocean basin in 2004, there was simply no abundance of education regarding the connection between earthquakes and tsunamis, so your comment is pretty uninformed and insensitive.@@BullRadu
@@nickthestick26 you should do a bit more research before you speak because the earthquake was felt in Indonesia, bangladesh, india, malaysia, maldives, myanmar, singapore, sri lanka and thailand. and what i mean felt, is by peopel feeling the earthquake, not just machines cause if we are talking about machines, the earthquake was felt all the way to the US. clearly you have never been in a situation where you felt an earthquake, cause if u were, you wouldn't be talking shit. so please educate yourself before start talking just cause you feel like it. also, the earthquake was only 300 miles of thailand so they felt it really hard since it was 9.1-9.3 scale.
When traveling to areas you may not be familiar with, it's always important to understand potential natural disasters and be cognizant of the warning signs.
What warning signs in Thailand,Sri Lanka etc? You think you visit Japan?
Looks like a comment made by AI.
2004 poucas pessoas no mundo sabiam sobre tsunamis !
The 2004 tsunami was a once in 5000 years event. Thailand isn't near the Pacific ring of fire but the 9.1 earthquake sent tsunamis around the Indian Ocean. Was unheard of for most of the countries impacted. Even Indonesia had no preparation for such an event. When the sea retreated, people went to inspect. In aceh they were on the floor avoiding falling buildings when the waves came. No one had ever seen 23m waves before.
my aunt was diving out in the ocean far away from the beach when the tsunami was coming. She said to me that she felt a huge pressure wave and she didn´t knew where the water surface was. scary
Damm luckily i have never seen a Tsunami
@@janellewilliams6052dayum first reply in 14 years
if this would happen in 2021 the victims would be 4x higher because of all the youtubers and influencers taking selfies with the tsunami.
And still survive
Let them. Natural disasters taking out the dumbest and most ignorant among us is a good thing. The Darwin Awards are nothing but natural selection.
One could only hope!
Cameraman never dies
This won't happen today
Strange, but the Cameraman really NEVER dies
Why is that strange
@@mellybugzD Coz cameraman never dies
@@RATsClasses but alot of people didn't die.
@@mellybugzD And also a lot of people DID die, probably including a lot of people who were trying to get really good pictures of the tsunami, instead of doing the sensible thing and heading for higher ground. The thing is: those cameras were never found. They're somewhere on the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
I'm sure there was a lot of footage taken/lost once the cameraman got washed away with the footage damaged/never recovered.
I was there, my first time to Thailand 🇹🇭 I was so lucky stayed in bungalow overlooking karon beach called "on the hill" on the mountain road from karon ro patong...the devastation was so sad to witness...never forget 😢 😞 💔
The devastation was great. Made for some awesome TH-cam surfing experiences. You can even see some mutilated bodies in a few vids. BLM. I wanna eat chicken burgers.
@@andyfoxy3140 STUPID! I bet if your dumbass was in Thailand when this happened I guarantee you wouldn't be here today saying that retarded s***😡🖕
@@orlandowells6319 But I was in Thailand at that time
@@andyfoxy3140 "BS"!💩😡 You wouldn't be saying these nonsense ass comments on here that you said, think about it you have no thought of mind of compassion that families was killed especially young children, women and men and you going to make a very disrespectful comment like that, F*** U!!
@@orlandowells6319 U are totally correct. I have no compassion for them
Watching this, almost 20 years later is still incredibly moving. I was at a pool bar in Tenerife on my 30th birthday watching this unfold. The count on the loss of life just kept going up. Mother nature can be a real bitch.
Mother nature is not a bitch .

you are 50 now bud, getting old :P
@@IMWATCHING501How lucky he is to reach that age
Best way to survive a tsunami be the camera man
That applies to everything
Amazing video, glad you are still with us to tell the story...
Aún vive?me gustaría saber de el soy de México.
@@aleexcardiel838Read the description…it’s all there.
I don't think that's the case. This footage may have just been recovered.
@@aleexcardiel838 ellos están vivos. publicaron un vídeo unos años después del tsunami en su canal de youtube
Run Away!!! Run Away!!! How the hell did that guy survive to bring us that footage?
Well... They just needed to find the camera/cel...
@@nan2498 oh 🙁
@@nan2498 Cell is not a possibility in this case, because there were no cell phone cameras with this quality back in 2004.
Don’t never underestimate water
Videos such as this one are so frustrating to watch and make me wonder how many people would’ve survived, had they understood what the Ocean was doing and fled!! The very minute I’d observe the surf being pulled away suddenly or witnessed a bigger than usual wave forming out in the distance, I’m getting as far away from the beach as I possibly could!
It's easy to say that now. At the time, this hadn't been witnessed on camera all around the world; it was something never seen before. It makes sense now _why_ the water would recede so quickly like that, but _nobody_ understood at the time. There's not one single video of someone recognizing what was going on, until it was too late. Nobody knew, and following the earthquake, there were no tsunami warnings either. Look what's just happened in Japan, a lesser earthquake and there's immediate tsunami warnings.
Yeah, the tsunami "wave" in this video is probably only 8 or 9 ft. In other areas like Khao Lak the wave was 33ft and it came in as a big breaking wave. And of course people aren't stupid - they were all at beach resorts and most of the dead were good swimmers. The water just moves too fast and is full of too much debris. In other areas the waves were 100ft high - its easy to understand how people died there.
Wow 14 years ago
Yes the tumbling through water is bad enough whether you can swim or not, but the debris you’re tossed with can impale you😢
@STEALTHYclan
you perfectly described a tsunami. a rapidly moving tide that comes in veryyyyyy far.
tsunamis are rarely huge hollywood-style tidal waves.
...you've been REALLY lucky!!
Man watching this quality in 2024 giving me nostalgia of old days
My birthday is on the *same* day 26th DECEMBER 2004 💗
You were born on the day the asteroid #APOPHIS crossed the Pacific Ocean heading towards the Indian Ocean……..
Interesting to have that birthday date
Why is he just standing there? I'd get to higher ground as fast as possible
Pyrrha Nikos I WoUld jUsT TRoW a pORt A foRT
Asshole
The world hadn't seen a tsunami in recent times it wasn't in people's minds and they therefore weren't as concerned or knew what to do.
Even if he had started to run immediately he'd have had no chance. I suspect he was frozen to the spot with shock, awe and disbelief. 😞
That's a hindsight observation, at the time, they had no idea what was happening or what was to come.
El de la camara es inmortal
What was the feelings you were having during th tsunami
This was great. Awesome memory
Fun fact: this video was uploaded 1 day after I was born.
Easy to call somebody stupid, but how many have experienced a tsunami, and did know what to do before this happend?
If it happend today, i'm sure people would be more responsible, and not go towards the ocean, but run away from it!
believe me, people would not be more responsible today. it's human nature.
Sure, but common sense says the ocean waves shouldn't flood into hotel lobbies or swimming pools. Seeing the beach chairs and umbrellas being swept away should be a warning sign, no? Or are you going to magically stop the ocean from coming towards you? The reality is too many people think they're invincible, with the "eh nothing will happen to me mentality."
Did the person taking the video think that a tsunami or two was part of the resort activities? Wow... just wow
Ninguem na epoca sabia sobre isso!
Sadly, this and other videos of the reaction of people to the initial signs of the approaching tsunami illustrate the lack of knowledge that they had at that time. We know that the water drawing away from the shore is an absolutely clear warning that a tsunami is coming. They didn't realize that. We know that the distance that the water goes down is the same as the height that the wave will be above the normal water level. They had no idea. We know that the wave can come in as a wall of water or as a massive surge of water up an estuary and over onto the land on both sides. That knowledge was limited then.
Personnellement, je ne le sais pas, dans toutes les vidéos, je vois que la vague n'est pas haute ou dangereuse pour noyer une ville entière ou noyer des gens.Apparemment, ce n'est qu'une vague d'environ un demi-mètre de haut, je ne sais pas, et je n'ai jamais vu une vague de tsunami ni sa véritable hauteur. Si cela se passait devant moi, par exemple, comme ici, j'aurais pensé qu'il s'agissait d'un petit tsunami qui ne nécessitait pas d'évasion.
@@marimariana9074 Em Khao Lak as ondas foram enormes =(
Meu Deus, dá para ouvir gritos bem longe ...mas quem imaginaria alho acontecer assim na época!
@pfferberg The people in Thailand were too far away from the epicenter to feel much of the earthquake.
I bet he didnt expect THAT
Was cameraman a fool ????
But thanks for the video,,, it was like a horror movie
Las aguas volverán a su nivel cubriendo totalmente la tierra...
Well, not only were the gods smiling on you that day and they allowed you to get away with it... you also managed to get spectacular footage too boot. One of the few clips that shows the incredible speed of the wave. Wow.
At first it looks like an ordinary wave until the very end
What a powerful ocean is
I have got realize in 2004
Humans and its infrastructure no matter how big it is still puny in front of this ocean
No wonder land will submerged into water in future
В будущем : Земля и все дела на ней сгорят. Так написано в Библии.
Tourists really need to be informed about the intensity of waves, undertows, tsunami warning signs etc. They didn't know any better & thought it was just a wave that came up closer onto shore so they unfortunately stuck around instead of evacuating.
This comment needs to be pinned to the top of the thread. A lot of people don't seem to realise that those poor people didn't know any better.
poor people
How did you even survive?
I doubt he survived
@@fernfreeman1729 So who uploaded the video then? )))
@@TheGuilietta videos 📹 don't die.
@@fernfreeman1729 But the guy has put everything in description under the video. He survived. 🤷♀️
How did you survive?
It's still hard to take in❤ is 20 years ago this year, and I was 11 when it happend, and one of my brother's classmate , emma 14 years old became an angel in the tsunami❤.
I was lucky that no one in my family was in Thailand that day❤
May god be with you 543 Swedish souls❤.
Many in Thailand opend their home's and gave clothes, food and other stuff to take care of Swedish turists, who was hurt, while the Swedish guvement were on vacation.😮
Great hd footage
OMG its getting bigger and bigger, who can predict those waves??
I think most had no clue" what a tsunami actually is
Despite living on coast people are ignorant about tsunsmis, they're not unpredictable, they give a lot of hints you see and run as fast as you can out there
Wasn't that the tsunami the day after Xmas?
I remember when that happened..A lot damaged was done and people lost there lives ..
You took a big risk!
Why did he stand there watching it come towards him?
PoweRrrrr05 perhaps... just an inkling (being sarcastc) they did not know?
Today we know the sign due to this disaster.
Yes even as it was passing him and he was in it - didn’t try and head for higher ground,
I don't know idiot maybe😂 5 years late reply😂 i was like ten when you commented this😂 and this video was posted at my 4th age and the footage was taken on the year i was born😂😂
12 years ago.... Wow..
Now 20+already but it will never be forgotten
When the camera turned towards the wall of water was huge fast
*wave almost up to waist*Hmmm...maybe I should get out of here.
Though I gotta give credit for standing there. I wouldn't have been there.
Dear Interested, this is the video by a guy who looked at death face-to-face and still dis not know it was time to RUN and SAVE HIMSELF. He lived to tell the tale and wrote the long paragraph on the rioght hand side. You should not try to imitate this person.
umm can some one please tell me why the hell would you just stay there as the sea moves right towards you!?!?!!?!
Is this the wave in background?
Yes.
OMG! ...I hope the author of the video managed to save himself!
Na he’s posting this from beyond the grave
The Netflix movie ''The Impossible" brings me here.. A true story about tsunami happened here year 2004..
We know.
nuuusssss o cara naop parou de filmar kkkk bixo brabo da poha
Tsunami gave him an offer that he couldnt refuse...
dont want to go to the beach? Bring the beach to you!
Cameraman never diea💪💪
When you see it from a distance, people feel it's small and when it approaches the coast, you realize that you should've run.
Also, people think it's easy to identify the warning signs of tsunami because the coast doesn't always pull away.
Camera man never dies
I’m Thai people and I see this
Camera man always survive
2004 sabia nem que existia TH-cam 😪
TH-cam only started in 2005
No way the person who filmed this lived, that water was just the beginning.
Hi there, i would like to get in touch with you about this video. thanks in advance
I dreamt this very thing the night it happened. I dreamt I was in a pool, staring out at the blue ocean and dirty water started entering the pool. I woke up to find my mother in law watching the news about the aftermath. I didn’t know that was what I was dreaming until I started seeing these videos. I never dreamt a wave or debris from the wave. I had a similar dream a few years before about 9/11 the night before it happened.
Happened the same to me, but with Katrina hurracaine.
Scary stuff
me too but in my dream I thought i was up in the air w/ the refridgerator n everything else in a high ceilinged modern house. When i saw the videos later ( years, I think) I realized that that was water, not air.
What a bizarre coincidence. Let us know if it happens again
@@stephen6279 it has happened several more times, earthquakes and the deaths of certain celebrities have been dreamt the night before 🤷🏻♀️ I guess my intuition is getting stronger
that most likley ruined the pool filter
I was giving my condolences.
what is the name of this hotel ?
This gave me chills cl😭
Specially when the pool started to break apart💀
300 000 people died, lots of children, it was awful.
Was it in Indonesia or thailand

tsunamis are not always 50 footers, and they don't have to be to be powerful.

Meu Deus quem é esse louco q ficou filmando isso.se fosse eu já tava a quilômetro de distância kkk
The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastics 9:11 “Unforeseen occurrence can befall us.” Just being at the wrong place at the right time can cause is injury
