Anyone see this? It was good viewing. Very graphic though.

Would make you think twice before going to the beach.

Maybe people are not aware but in 2005 Ireland setup its own Tsunami warning system. For further information on Ireland's tsunami warning system please contact Brian McConnell at 01 678 2850.

Remember Ireland has been hit by them in 1700's so better to be prepared.

Watching it now on +1

Hard to watch in parts.

Reminds me of the 9/11 doc a few months back.

Its really spooky watching people loose their lives right there in front of you!

I caught the last 40 or so minutes of it. Very upsetting viewing (my eyes are still red and puffy), but well worth watching.

It amazed me how many people kept filming as people were dying or they themselves were in danger..

Aw that was tough to watch alright, especially seeing that old couple hanging on for dear life and then getting swept away - the one's your man was talking about looking for and then watching the families carrying dead children around in their arms.

Yeah especially when you saw that poor man hanging out the window shaking the hankerchief for help and everybody could see him but couldn't get near enough to help. That's what you could see tonight people trying desperatly to hang on and people trying to get them help but to no avail.

Got to be harder on those that never recovered their missing loved ones. i remember at the time they said in the news, they had to burn a lot of the bodies quickly to prevent diseases so maybe that's what happened before they could be identified.

Did you see the bit where the man was just standing on his own on the beach. Everyone was saying "Oh no look at that man". Next thing he is completely pulverised with the water. I'd say he's dead now!

Mods: Already a thread on this subject in the new documentaries forum. Can this thread be moved and merged to get some publicity/traffic for the burgeoning doc forum?

Thanks.

Horrific stuff. If we are ever hit by anything like that we are ****ed.

Watched this on 4OD. Pretty raw TV. Must have been a horrific experience, incredible to think of that many people dying.. Had it been 30,000 it still would have been an unholy disaster. My minds made up that I aint ever going to Indonesia, Sri Lanka or Thailand regardless of how idyllic they are. Put me off going to Clonea even.
