I'd link but it requires a registration (which is free). About scientists trying to get word out after the Earthquake. And it has a stunning picture of tourists on a Thai beach as the surge comes in behind them.

These kinds of pictures/videos really disturb me because you see people trying to get away but you know that they were dead a minute later.

Thanks for posting the link. How is it that no registration is required? Are you using a special tool (such as bugmenot.com)?

That picture shows a swedish mother towards her 3 kids (10, 11 and 14 yo). Amazing thing is that all of them (and the father) survived.

Doesn't say anything about injuries, but from the picture of them back home it doesn't seem to be any serious wounds.
