Index of /tsunami — If you are sick of Tsunami pics do not go here, but this is a somewhat disturbing collection of many unseen photos and some vids of the horrible event. There is a peculiar theme as shown in the photo above. It’s the number of pics of people standing and looking at a huge wave headed their way, like sightseers or like someone at the movies. It’s kind of creepy.

The one you have chosen is NOT from the tsunami. Its a fraud.

A few of the pictures, including the one shown here, are actually from a tidal surge in China a few years ago. A00.jpg, A01.jpg, A02.jpg, A05.jpg, A07.jpg. A tragic event in itself, but not on the same scale as the tsunami of 2004.
The compilers of this collection have managed to keep out the many fake tsunami photos that are circulating. The real photos may not look as ‘dramatic’, but they are much more disturbing.

Even though a few may be fakes, what I find most amazing is that people actually stopped and took a photograph! This is, in my opinion, one of the most positive aspects of the ubiquity of digital cameras these days – that these events get documented by real people living it, right there and then! 20 years ago we wouldn’t have one tenth of the images we have now, and hopefully something can and will be learned from all these images.
