It is almost two years since I have uploaded this video. The outpouring messages that you guys have sent me have been very encouraging. Please keep them coming.To answer some of your frequently asked questions:1) I did not take the video. I have downloaded the clip days after the tsunami hit, and when I realised it is not on YouTube, I decided to put it here for the world to see2) The video is shot at Sunset Bay, by local Thais. It is evident from the recorded voices. Not sure what they are saying though - if there is someone whom knew, please let me know3) I can't recall where I downloaded the clip from, so I can't show proper copyright attribution on this page. If anyone knows about this, please message me. I don't hold the copyright for this video, so you can use (or don't use) the clip at your own discretion4) I am tired of all the racist and insulting comments some of you viewers left on this video. It offends many, it irritates me, it does no one any good. So I am deactivating all comments on this page. If you want to comment on this video, please visit this page - http://www.razlan.name/blog/2007/12/tsunami-2004/Please note that all comments are heavily moderated, and I won't allow any nonsense to be posted.About the clip:Tsunami hit at sunset bay.

Aug 21, 2008 - Global warming? Give me a break. I'll bet you don't even know that back in the 70's and 80' the big scare was "Global Cooling!" Yea, that's right. Global Cooling was going to kill us all. Amazing what 30 years can do!

Aug 21, 2008 - They are not "just talking" they are crying and they tried to call the people from thr beach but they were far away (don't you see that?)... nobody was waiting for a tsunami, people were in holidays, at the beach like any other day, understand... suddenly this massive wave appears without any warning at all... nobody saw it coming, not even the people at the beach...

Aug 21, 2008 - Wow Josephcarini. It's better you stay in school than make idle threats that need to be translated. Lets do this together eh Joey?First off. It's Gook. Not Goog. Secondly, when saying a possessive, use OUR not are. As in "By the way OUR country". And your county is better than us? That's wonderful. Unless you mean your COUNTRY.
rilevi Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - it is really useless to criticize them. in that kind of moment how are you supposed to behave?. by the way to all of you which criticized these people. who are filming or recording as the wave is coming are actually standing far away from the shore. When Nature wants to shake us. there is nothing we can do to avoid it.

Aug 21, 2008 - The Thais are NOT Muslims (Most of them aren't anyway!) Get your facts right before you start cursing your arse off! HAHA MY FOOT!

Aug 21, 2008 - the same god that denied adam and eve knowledge? the same god who has committed mass murder numerous times?

Aug 21, 2008 - I hate to criticize but man he coulda had some of the best footage of this tragedy and maybe he does, but it coulda been so much better if he/she could work a camera.

Aug 21, 2008 - brilliant !! ragging on how poor and stupid a county is but YOU cant even spell GOOK correctly (goog???) what a douche
whompus02 Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Jesus H Christ . that is one friggin ugly language theyre speaking in the beginning of this. I think I'd rather be swept up in that tsunami than have to listen to 12 hours of that shit.
densmaris Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Bit of a simple take on things, that.
NpZBaDdEstB Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - omg can u ya stop bytchen about the footage..damn think about the ppl how they must of felt to watch this...especially seeing that little child get riped by the waves like that would ya have a steady fukken hand....dont think so
Josephontheball Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Whompus, how DARE you say that the language that they were speaking was ugly. It's Thai, for goodness sake. Stop criticising ne others' language! I'll bet that they would have thought that Englsih was a stupid language, except that they would be too mature to even think that!
Josephontheball Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - And to all the people who keep on criticising the people who "just sat on the hilltop while watching people die and doing nothing". STOP BEING IDIOTS!!! What sis you expect them to do??? Take a raft, go down to the swirling beach and try and save people in the raging water while trying to keep afloat themselves???? You could hear a lady vrying in the backgound for goodness sake!!! And the woman who was filming actually asked twice, "Are you okay?".
Josephontheball Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Lastly, you could even hear people on the hilltop shouting to ppl on the beach for them to run away!!! Are you all BLIND and DEAF???
Josephontheball Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - And don't you think that corpses floating around were gory enough?? Or do you want to see severed limbs and heads??? You guys are sick.
birdysofa Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - And those peoples just talk..talk..talk..and talk, WHILE A CHILD GOT HIT BY THE WAVE!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE REALLY STUPID!!!!!! COULD YOU JUST THINK EVEN A SECOND WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN A WAVE HITS A CHILD...YOU COULD EVEN STOP FILMING AND CALL HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
