The Boxing Day tsunami is known to be one of the deadliest tsunamis in history, "killing more than 230,000 people across 14 counties and injuring over half a million of people" (Hannah Osborne, 22nd December 2014) This incident began at 7:59am local time on December 26th, 2004.
The city of Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra was the closest to the powerful earthquake's epicenter and the first waves of the tsunami arrived in 20 minutes. Nearly impossible to imagine a 100-foot roiling water engulfed the coastal city within minutes. Insanely killing 100,000 men, women and children. Buildings began to fold like pieces of card, cars were swept up. "These waves travelled 500mph across the Indian ocean, as an hour passed by the tsunami hit Phang Nga, despite the time lapse though, tourists was completely unaware of the destruction" (Dave roos, 18th September 2020) despite curious Beachers even warned about the oddly recedingly waves.
