Survivors Footage of THE Tsunami on CH 4 NOW ..

is this not a repeat ?

my brother was actually there survived it , we thought he was dead for 4 days very upsetting time for our family

Will catch this on C4+1 later.

Not sure if its a repeat or not.

glad he was ok yorky .

yes he never gets up before midday normally this day was on a boat at 9 am , when it hit, he said he looked down under the boat and all the sea had turned brown, though omg whats this looked to shore and where he was staying in the beach hut was being smashed to bits

terrible stuff

his boat came back in 1 hr later and where he had been staying was just gone, headed for high ground and the football bag he had took all round the world was up a tree 1/2 a mile inland about 30ft up, his lasting memory was off the smell of dead people days later and of the locals kicking off cos of lack of help,all europeans had to shelter in a temple for safety

a friend of mine was there at the time at one of the resorts that was badly hit, he was with his family about half a mile inland and for hours he was unaware that there had been a disaster, only when he returned to his hotel nearer the seafront that he realised something was wrong

makes u take stock of your own life wacthing something like this

yes pox doc, lots of lucky people who were in right place at right time, 1st time by bro as got up early in his life saved his life

did u see that guy get swept away there

This and Sept 11 - both unbelivable events, like watching a disaster movie for real.

Makes you realize how Selfish humans really are ..

Shall we save them .... No

Leave the kids ..

etc ..

:(

poor isabella

didnt like those two

1.01 isabella ok

no...she died

horrible tragic event

the power of the water, incredible

she did omg, poor lass ,her mum and dad joking about having a** , shocking stuff

what happened with that couples story i missed that part

worse than the McCanns imo

thats how they try to cope with it, they will never be the same again

what they do

they find the body later in a warehouse filled with bodies, tragic

heartbreaking stuff

:(

quite a shocking fillm, what can you say other than it must have been hell being there

Must people would do the same once it went out

Go and investigate

great programme well done by C4

I read on another thread that some women believe that men cannot cry unless they see something that directly affects them.

After watching that programme I can confirm that this is not true.

So sad because as said naturally you wouldnt think there was a danger there at that point

those germans could run fast

Really sad, makes me wanna take swimming lessons now.

no shame in admitting to tears green it shows you have feeling and a proper good soul

ffs that guy just watched it come in :0

Why did that guy just stand there ?

I found it a bit uncomfortable, other than for the obvious reason. People talking in that format about the death of loved ones just seems a bit disrespectful. When they started talking about losing touch with their daughter and the creepy music started it just seemed really wrong to me. An ugly mix of rubbernecking and personal tragedy.

excellent program, truly horrific at times. Made me a little ashamed to think that I've generally considered 9/11 to be the defining moment of this generation. The sheer gravity of the tsunami seems to have been lost somewhere along the way.

shall i do a joke to lighten the occasion
was at cleethorpes last year
a big hand came out of the sea and started moving from side to side, said to the wife run thats the biggest wave ive ever seen in my life

the funny thing there yorky is the word cleethorpes

and im not slating you by the way, you seem a decent type of guy, but sooner or later some knocker will come along to give you some stick

the strength of the current is just incredible

Everyone thinks what they would or wouldn't have done but the speed and power of the wave is truly shocking

Remember once seeing a prog (Horizon or something) where they compared wind/water power. Bloke could stand in a 70mph wins but sonn as the water reached his knees he was swept away. Water is frighteningly powerful

9-11 should never have happened ... this was nature at its worst.. 9-11 was mankind at its worst, unless you blieve the muppet conspiracy freaks.

Just an awful sight that on the beach :(

as I said earlier, r kid said sight and smell of bloated dead bodies worse than anything

Seems amazing now that nobody recognised what was happening and many didn't feel threatened enough to take any action.

watching it now, its horrific, people dont seem to realise how serious it is

and i know this footage is amazing, but you're shouting to them, just throw the f*cking camera and save yourself!
