Tsunami 2004 videos to download



I love to travel because nature always fascinates me. But at the same time disasters like earthquake, storms, cyclones show the power of mother nature. During searching for '2004 tsunami disaster' pictures, I found the link to a site from where you can download those memorable moments which shows the wildness of mother nature. You can search at 'YouTube' for many videos and read at different places about that disaster, but the site I am talking about offers many videos which you can download from the site. First let us know about that incident.

Wikipedia says: 'The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on December 26, 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is known by the scientific community as the Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake.'
According to 'National Geographic' news: The Deadliest Tsunami in History?, it says:

'The earthquake that generated the great Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 is estimated to have released the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Giant forces that had been building up deep in the Earth for hundreds of years were released suddenly on December 26, shaking the ground violently and unleashing a series of killer waves that sped across the Indian Ocean at the speed of a jet airliner.

By the end of the day more than 150,000 people were dead or missing and millions more were homeless in 11 countries, making it perhaps the most destructive tsunami in history. The Indian Ocean tsunami traveled as much as 3,000 miles (nearly 5,000 kilometers) to Africa, arriving with sufficient force to kill people and destroy property.'
