Look at this link. Read the unbelievble shit that has happened. Then right at the bottom "Toll: "One person drowned in Kenya". How can that be part of the disaster? I bet more people drowned in Kenya that day. Just watched some videos and its amazing. Have we heard from Bankok Red?

Title: The Death toll Post by: Dazzza on Monday, January 10, 2005, 00:28:43 Horrific I still haven't herd from a lass I met when I was backpacking out there.
Not spoken to her for an age and I know she had moved but I have no idea where to. Have blasted her a couple of emails now and no reply, that said she is always crap at replying so who knows. Met a few sound chaps in Phuket a Danish chap who was sound as a pound and owned our hotel and took us out drinking for free until we dropped. No way of getting hold of them just hope they are all safe and well. Title: The Death toll Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, January 10, 2005, 00:56:26 Oxo fan was over there in the summer too. Did he meet friends there? Crazy how it all effects us.

I think he was the other side on Koh Samui which was unaffected as far as I know. Mate of mine, well more my mates uncle was in Phuket but he was fine. Got woke up in the morning grabbed some clothes and legged it up into the mountain. The chap whos hotel it was had a maountain appartment so he put all of his guests up in there and let them party on down over Christmas.

Title: The Death toll Post by: Dazzza on Monday, January 10, 2005, 01:07:06 Not sure the impression I got was that most people didn't notice at all until it was to late.
The pictures of the people on the beach said it all scrambling to warn their family in the sea who hadn't noticed the fuck off 10ft wave behind them. Have you seen the video camera footage from some chap on the hotel roof. The hotel staff are going frantic to get the video camera ghouls on the ground into the hotel and they are just standing there filming it. They get most of them in but one or two get caught. Title: The Death toll Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 10, 2005, 01:08:55 That's what they say about Tsunamis. If you can see a big fuck off wave there is no time to escape it! They travel too quickly
Title: The Death toll Post by: yeo on Monday, January 10, 2005, 01:13:38 I dont think the actual wave as it comes in looks that scarey. Id probably be one of the idiots who ran towards it.
Title: The Death toll Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, January 10, 2005, 01:17:28 no I agree. Big wave, but I would have just surfed my way to freedom. but if it sucks you out to sea, thats when the trunks are filled.
Title: The Death toll Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 10, 2005, 01:18:44 There was a guy on the news who did ride the wave but almost crashed into a metal post. Had to ditch the board before being slammed into a brick wall!
Title: The Death toll Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, January 10, 2005, 01:25:29 anyone who rides the Tsunami gets respect from me. Thats like having a boxing match with godzilla or grilling toast on a erupting volcano.

Crazy how it all effects us. naah, nobody i met is still out there.Quote from: "Onion_Jimbo" When the earthquake happened could people feel the rumble or was it too far under water? I don't think the rumble could be felt, yet the earth is supposed to have moved a couple of inches from the power of it. So, don't really know how that works.Quote from: "simon pieman" That's what they say about Tsunamis. If you can see a big fuck off wave there is no time to escape it! They travel too quickly you don't get to see the wave until it gets close to the shore; until then it's moving virtually undetected under the surface of the water at about 500mph close to the point of the eruption. thats why boats out around the area close to the fault zone were unaffected, they would have barely noticed the ship bobbing a bit more than usual.Title: The Death toll Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, January 10, 2005, 13:42:47 Quote from: "Onion_Jimbo" When the earthquake happened could people feel the rumble or was it too far under water? The earthquake was actually felt in Phuket, although I was sleeping off a hangover at the time, athough I sobered up very fuc*ing quickly when the wave came. :shock: Title: The Death toll Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Tuesday, January 11, 2005, 20:15:44 thats fucking crazy matey.
