Untold Numbers Are Missing in 6 Countries
This wave system would have been part of someone's religious mythology had it happened two thousand years ago. In its scope of destruction, it is almost without peer in history.
The earthquake, which measured 9.0 in magnitude, set off tsunamis that built up speeds of as much as 500 miles per hour, then crashed into coastal areas of Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Indonesia, the Maldives and Malaysia as 40-foot-high walls of water, devouring everything and everyone in their paths.
Terrible. I've had bad dreams about just this kind of scenario.
