trekzone 0 Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) here's a video my news department made: Before & After It is a 3.6mb ZIP file that expands to a 18mb AVI file, if you use Windows XP you should be OK if you dont have WinZip. It also needs Windows Media Player. Edited January 2, 2005 by trekzone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaz4stfguy 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Horrible, isn't it? I recall seeing photos of Banda Aceh on the Google News link, and it's shocking to see the vast amount of damage. Large chunks of the city are completely gone! And the latest estimates of 125K dead is too great for me to comprehend. I need to be less complaining and more thankful. I take too much for granted. BTW, thanks VBG for the pics! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassidy 0 Posted January 2, 2005 Gee, that's pretty impressive! Sad, though. I have a friend who is currently holidaying in India, and haven't heard from her. I'm hoping she's ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted January 2, 2005 It keeps getting worse. I saw part of an interview with a UN official and later a World Vision official (I think that was the organization). They both talked about the flooding that has started in areas that were set up for displaced people. The number of people expected to die from preventable diseases is so high. It just doesn't end and we must never stop trying to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted January 2, 2005 It is pretty amazing and sad. I have both a current coworker, and a couple of coworkers from my old job that have family over there. My coworker has not said anything, so I am hoping his relatives are all ok... but as for my former coworkers, I have not seen them in a while so I have no idea about their families.

Chakotay's spirit guide 0 Posted January 2, 2005 In these photos released Thursday, Dec. 30, 2004 by DigitalGlobe, the shoreline of Banda Aceh in Indonesia, is shown on June 23, 2004, above, and Dec. 28, 2004 below, after the tsunami attack. (AP Photo/DigitalGlobe) I think these photos are just disturbing, it really shows the devastation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted January 2, 2005 They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the disappearance of the beach, and the palm tree tops poking out of the water in that first set of pictures speaks volumes. Th same with the other pictures. Very sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaileron 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Check out the height of the wave coming in on the upper-right hand side of this picture: 295067[/snapback] Am I the only one to think that one is a fake? The wave is impossibly high, at its highest point went the wave made contact it was about 15 meters high. That wave in the pic looks like double the size...
