Visit this site... it has video of the tidal waves coming in. It's some scary stuff. The one video from Penang, Malaysia is probably the hardest to watch. It shows some people being washed out.
That is intense. The videos are certainly more hard-core than what they're showing on the news. I guess because they don't want to upset everyone even more.
The image they have with the Warning for Extreme content is amazing. When they say on the news that there are bodies littering the beach, you don't really think it can be that bad, but it is so so so bad.
Yeah. If you watch the video titled "Wow" it shows flooding and stuff just rushing past this house. You see debris floating by and stuff and I thought I could make out people flopping around in the water as they shot by from the strong current. Sad stuff...

There's one video (I forget which one) where you can just see someone in the background holding onto a tree after the first waves have hit, a new wave comes through and then that person's not hanging onto the tree anymore, they're just gone. Eaten by the ocean.
There was honestly nothing anyone could've really done to save those people though.
schmiggens said this in post #7 : I was looking at it about 8 hours after chodder posted the link, which to me is last night at about 9.00 pm. I have no idea what time it is there.
I guess they are having an overload cause Im still waiting...Its 12:30 am here...
Bummer...maybe Ill go back to it in a few hours and hope that people arent crowding it as much then.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

chodder said this in post #9 : You have trouble getting to the site? Or do you have trouble watching the video? Well, whatever it is I don't have any problems viewing em'
I didnt have any problems getting to the site at all or the videos for that matter...but when I clicked on them, the message came up that said:

So..I figured people were overloading it at that time...I waited for awhile and it never started so I figured I try again tonight.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

What are you clicking? Under the part that says Videos: there are thigs that say "Video" and then to the right it says "Mirrors" and then to the right of that it had numbers. Click the first one, which is 2. To the right of that it says the size and then to the right of that it says where the video is from.
All I keep wodering about is did those two men make it through that? I hope they did.
Same. I hope they made it, and I don't even know them. Can you imagine if you had lost a relative or friend in the Tsunami and were looking at those videos and saw your friends in one? That would be too much.
