DELETED

the new video from banda aceh on Sky news is shocking !

Theres one report (think it was BBC) where the city is in ruins and theres this man who spends all day looking under debris searching for his family...puts everyone elses problems into perspective really :'(.

jesus i actually feel ill looking at those pictures. thanks for putting them up though antype, as someone who has never been to that region of the world it really puts the devastation into perspective...

damn damn :(

it's just shockin :'(

There's a whole bunch of satellite before-and-after photos of the tsunami affected areas on the BBC newsite. At least there was.



I watched a lot of news last week when I was sick and home from work. There's a lot of video footage out floating around out there - lots of people were on vacation and shooting home movies. There was one video in particular that was just so sad. It showed a man walking out onto the beach, obviously perplexed at why the tide was so far out. Then the wave came and the man disappeared...



The damage done is very hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine what it's like for those people in the region, and what it will be like for them trying to put their lives back together.



What I hate the most is the feeling of helplessness, being on this end of the world.

Just thought i would bump this thread up. One year on from this horrible event, lets just hope that this will never happen again with such deverstateing effect.

Good one acid , good one. It's good to not forget things like this - for us it's all forgotten , but the people who live there are still struggling every day.



And pakistan !! There has been another big earthquake AGAIN.
