Tsunami - Caught On Camera

m83 · 2009-12-30 21:36:34

Anyone watching this? It's absolutely terrifying stuff. The production is similar to 102 Minutes That Changed The World with mostly handheld footage. It's a really effectve way of presenting large scale disasters. Anyone know other documentaries produced like this?

I am watching it now and it really is harrowing to see what all of those people went through.

It was awful stuff.
I'm not sure if it was the 'Caught on Camera' documentary, but I remember a woman who had been swept out to sea with her little girl and the child had not survived. The mother was saying in the documentary what a terrifying sensation it was to be under the water not being able to breathe and crying 'what an awful way to die' and saying sorry to her little girl for not being able to save her. So so sad. A frightening loss of life.
