Tsunami Pictures

Fri, 7 Jan 2005 7:12 UTC

I rarely use this blog to discuss something that’s not related to technology, but someone sent me a link to these satellite before and after pictures of the devastation caused by the massive ocean wave. What this wave did is incredibly awesome with all the meaning that this word used to embody.

Also equally awe-inspiring is what this massive earthquake and displacement of water did to the Earth’s rotation: it caused it to spin 3 microseconds faster!

More horrifying is that the death toll is, at present, nearly 156,000. Relief efforts are staggering as people worldwide have responded well beyond imagination to help those in need.

It is pretty amazing stuff what you have here. I was e-mailed a picture of the wave that hit phuket, it was ten times worse than anything that I had seen on tv. If you will respond to my email address I will e-mail the picture to you. I would like to know if it is real or just a hoax. It looks very real and has the wave coming in at the height of twenty story buildings. thank you

I’ve removed the e-mail addresses from your comments because I don’t want to be a contributor to spam. If you receive a lot of spam at those e-mail addresses, it’s probably because you post your address in public forums. Spammers use software that scans Web sites for text that looks like an e-mail address. They save it, and then send you lots of spam.

I’ve requested that Brian send me the photo(s). I’ll forward it on to those who’ve requested them.

The photograph that Brien sent was, unfortunately, a fake. If you’re still interested in seeing the fake and the information behind it, there’s an article at About.com on it.
