I was just linked to them

man they are crazy

Yeah i've seen a couple of them already

Those pics are pretty bad, expecially the last one

whoa.

Yech that last one reminds me of the baby from trainspotting, im gonna have nightmares from that :S

I've seen a few videos of the tsunami. I would be running not on the beach watching the (huge)waves come in. Waves way beyond normal levels is warning enough for me.

P.S. Has anyone seen the video of the base jumper with the helmet camera(on ogrish)?

holy s***
basejump vid is bad

I highly recommend you guys check out these two satellite images:

Before , After

I really wouldn't want to be stuck in one of those currents! Full set here

I'm assuming thise base jumper didn't open his chute or something?

:(

Does he explode or anything particularly nasty?

nah it just seems like he left it a bit late

hey heardy, pics usually are graphical :p

Disturbing.

Does he explode or anything particularly nasty?

No, however, you can hear him scream which gives ya the chills a bit.

8 and 10 are ewwww

f*** that's just surreal, it's hard to believe what those photo's are showing =\

gah think of the horrible stench


anyone see the vid of the criminal shooting himself in the head while in the interrogation room?

Thats terrible.

So many bodies.

Thats terrible.

So many bodies.

Is that some kind of sick and twisted joke?

that is some f***ed up stuff

:-( Thats really bad.

Is that some kind of sick and twisted joke?

Wtf? How could you even think what he said was joking?

heh that base jumper vid is funny.. sounds like hes constipated.

Base Jumper vid?
Could someone point me?

on ogrish
as already mentioned

Is that some kind of sick and twisted joke?

Uh where did that come from?

Wow those corpses are fairly bloated.

Anyone got links to any more Tsuami pics?

on ogrish
as already mentioned

Yes, I saw that, but I don't know what the f*** an 'ogrish' was [nor did the person I asked first]...

Someone more helpful and with more braincells other than yourself pointed it to me though.

Thanks to that person.

far out so many dead people... saw those pics from space on TV yesterday...the before and after shots look so f***ed up..well the after shots do anyway :S
and all it take for that kinda devestaion(sp) is for the tectonic plates to move under water...

Sunday's massive tsunami was triggered when a plate of earth that was dug like a bulldozer blade into the ocean floor off the coast of western Indonesia broke through layers of rocky resistance and created a rupture hundreds of miles in length, geologists said.

Once begun, rock would have torn apart like paper. The ocean floor collapsed in places and rose elsewhere, triggering massive upheavals of water. Unlike waves on the surface, a tsunami is an underwater wave whose effects are apparent only when it reaches shore, often hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

The magnitude-9 earthquake moved the entire island of Sumatra about 100 feet toward the southwest, pushing up a gigantic mass of water that quickly collapsed into a tsunami that devastated shorelines around the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

base jumper vid u dont see anything.. only a hard fall and some blood on his hands, while hes moaning.

it still just doesnt seem real, :\

Oh, also, you can donate money at the checkouts at woolworths now. Also if you want a reciept and stuff you can get it from the service desk. Well at least that applies at mt view (mt gravatt central)

i read that a magnitude 8+ earthquake is due at the new zealand fault in the next few years and that it will most probably cause a tsunami that will hit australia.

yeah rav that basejumper thing was fairly crap, mainly due to the shoddy camera...

Anyway, where did you read that rav?

It was mentioned on the news the other night as well. NA has a volcano thats due to go off which will cause a tsunami apparently. The volcano is on the south island I think but they said the tsunami would hit mainly around Sydney.

If my geography is correct tho the south island doesnt really line up too much with Sydney.

So many little kids. That is so sad :(

Ah ok, media hype over something that isn't concrete research maybe?

In a world where children are societies worest, one whore out ranks them all...

You don't open the chute... you jump with it open. You can tell when he looks upward and yells that it hasn't caught the wind properly. Heehee

Yeah the media is hyping it up but it is still possibly going to happen.....to the point of this tsunami?....not likely but you never know.

Reasearchers have said the volcano is overdue for an eruption (there are actally several around due to go off). Who know what nature wants to do!

You don't open the chute... you jump with it open. You can tell when he looks upward and yells that it hasn't caught the wind properly. Heehee

heh i thought it had caught the wind and it pushed him into the side of the wall.

Its "due" to go off in the next thousand years. Theres nothing to say it'll go off anytime soon.

its said it occurs every 500 years and its been 500 years since the last.

You think its watching a clock? ^^

Sounds like the media has no idea. They were spouting this theory about a tidal wave hitting Australia on the news the day the tsunami happened, but at that time it was the Alpine fault that was going to shift (and does so every 500 years), and now its a volcano on the south island?

3 Words: San Andreas Fault

grand theft earthquake

Khel, the alpine fault and the volcano are the same thing.

The whole south island is on the fault if i remember correctly.

grand thetf earthquakre ROFLMAOOOOO

noone should see those pictures. They made me fill ill, and gave me the shivers. I'll have nightmares about them now.

You think its watching a clock?

of course :P

i think its pretty amazing that a lot of the island in the area have moved due to this earthquake aswell as the tip of sumatra. i also read from a geologist that u would have seen the earth shake on its axis from space. the geologist was probably exagerating though :P

oh my gosh - that is so sad - or maybe not sad but a real eye opener as to just how real this is. The last one is just aweful... i don't know taht pictures like that should be made public... it's disturbing.

3 Words: San Andreas Fault

Is no where near us...

Some video's found here http://www.ebaumsworld.com/tsunami.html

satalite images here http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/satellite.html

Some good links
http://www.digitalglobe.com/sample_imagery.shtml

Awesome satelite-images. In the one where the water is furthest out, it is 343 meters from the beach. Imagine seeing the water just disappare like that.
There is also a torrent with a few amateur-videos of the tsunami. Crazy stuff.

info found here http://www.es.ucsc.edu/~ward/papers/La_Palma_grl.pdf

enjoy!

btw sorry if those links are repeated. to lazy to read the whole thread.

this will hopefully stop america's bitching about 9/11

but on a serious note, thsi tsunami would have to be the worst natural disastor in how long?


edit:
when 9/11 hapened, all our channels were taken over by f***ing reports about that s*** for 24hrs+ - and then this happens, with 84,000 MORE people dieing, and i dont even hear about it for afew days after... i think australia really is sucking US's balls

They reckon in history.

But i reckon Krakatoa was bigger.

was that the one that buried people alive in ash?

It was when a volcano basically exploded.

~1890 or something.

Krakatoa went boom, the island disappeared. The whole of the area (i think mainly indonesia as it is now) copped the tsunami from it. Global temperatures dropped like 2-3 degrees for a couple of years afterwards.

The noise was so loud it was rattling windows in like sydney and s***.

Like holy jesus f***, it must have been huge.

When Krakatoa went up, the tide levels in London rised.

Is no where near us...

Surely you aren't that stupid and inconsiderate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa

^ ok so it wasn't as devastating a tsunami.

But wow, none the less.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tambora

Another big one explosion, ~180,000 people apparently died in this one in 1815.

Lifted 100km3 of rock into the air.

Loudest noise ever heard by modern humans, excepting the odd rx7.

^ ok so it wasn't as devastating a tsunami.

But wow, none the less.

well atleast now we shouldve all learnt how to protect out selves from volcanos - stop, drop, and cover! (South Park - 103 - Volcano)

This thread is making me donate again.

LETS DANCE

And yet, what of pompei?

Krakatoa, Tambora.. plus the Tsunami.

Indonesia = "Don't go there"

dont forget bali

Indonesia = "Don't go there"

lol

i hope you ppl who are making fun of this situation are digging the deepest to help those who survived...

surely some tsunami from this quake brushed western australia

Well we are pretty safe here in QLD, if there was a tsunami that hit the east cost the barrier reef would cut it up before it got near the shore.

Probably rip the crap out of the reef but its better than loads of people dying.

i think the effects that the destruction on the reef would have more of an impact on the north eastern coast of queensland than a tsunami would if it hit the land

I heard Einstein's last girlfriend was so fat Thailand actually saw her coming.

the barrier reef wouldnt do s*** against a tsunami. u think a reef is going to stop a huge farking wave coming for us??

do you understand how waves work?
They travel underwater til they hit shallow water in the form of the shore or a reef or something then they come up out of the water and you can actually see them. You could have been out to see on a boat and the tsunami would have gone underneith you without you even noticing.

then y didnt it?? there is wat 2000 fishermen missing??

cause most of them were resting in their boats close to shore?

I heard Einstein's last girlfriend was so fat Thailand actually saw her coming.

GOLD!

slinky u are a f***en moron. please stop posting.

then y didnt it?? there is wat 2000 fishermen missing??

there are zero deep sea fisherman missing. Except for those that were sunbaking on the beach on their day off.

Well we are pretty safe here in QLD, if there was a tsunami that hit the east cost the barrier reef would cut it up before it got near the shore.

You do realise that the reef starts in Bundaberg right?

We'd probably be ok here in brisbane if a tsunami hit, but existence, defi and a whole lot of aborigines on Straddie would be f***ed.

I live right on the coast but up on a hill so our house would become beachfront property $$$

shame you don't own it hey fpot?

Spidz owns fpot.

You do realise that the reef starts in Bundaberg right?

No reef in Bundi but plenty of rum

The rest of my family will... disappear in tragic circumstances.

This terrible event got me to thinking how easy it would have been for ancient civilisations to describe a (biblical type) world wide flood with one of these things wiping out most of their known world at the time.

The last figure I saw regarding a deathtoll had it at arround 160,000..it wouldnt surprise me that in the coming weeks, when all the figures are finally realised, if this event hasn't claimed close to 200,000 people.

If you can spare a few $$ then be sure to send in a donation, every little bit will hopefully help these poor people.

That is actually incorrect. They are at the point where they have too much money and not enough people to help with giving out supplies and rebuilding

Dunno if i'd say they have too much money, maybe money isn't the bottle neck anymore though.

THE Australian branch of aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF, Doctors without Borders) has become possibly the first in the world to ask donors to stop pledging money to its tsunami appeal.

The local MSF branch paused its appeal after reaching its $1 million target in just three days. It decided it would be breaching its ethical code to collect money if it could not be used for its designated purpose, a spokeswoman told The Sydney Morning Herald.

"We can only send a certain number of people at a time. We can't rush more over because we have to co-ordinate with MSF teams from other countries," Dorothy Griffiths told the newspaper.

Australia's MSF team has 300 volunteers but so far it has been able to send only one doctor, a nurse and three logistics experts to Sri Lanka, and a doctor and a water sanitation engineer to Indonesia.

I like to think that im some what desensitized (sp?) to all that kind of stuff,im sorry to say ive even seen dead bodies in real life and it didnt freak me out,but those pics made me feel sick...
