February 25 2005: Searchers have retrieved a battered digital camera belonging to a Canadian couple holidaying in Thailiand who used it to record the tsunami that killed them.
I guess it was perhaps their shock...but more was maybe the fact that it was so unbelievable...and a lot of people thought it was just the tide. I dont think these people had a clue that is was a tsunami - or just how serious it was.
I cant get over those videos where some people were being washed away while they stretched their arms out for help.
