I saw this and was genuinly emotional last night. Some of the clips of the dead bodies were just horrible, especially the babies.

The sight of that first wave coming in has got to be one the most scariest scenes.

We lost an employee in that disaster and the company I work for are now sponsoring the rebuilding of a school.

the most interesting bit by far was the the tribesman from a remote primitive island where everybody survived because there ancient teachings and philosophy (something akin to aboriginal respect for the earth itself) taught them to run like buggery when the seas retreated beacause they new it would come back with a vengance.
I liked there quaint theory about the earth resting on a tree and being shaken by bad spirits
Where can i sign up

Then they seemed to quite blatantly juxtapose this with the predictably inane drivel spouted by "established" main stream religion (ie mainly catholic) about judgment and gods will testing them, and that purely because a church was built a bit higher and more solidly than the mud huts around it (what a surprise )this was proof positive of gods involvement
