DEATHWAVE
On a dark, grim Sunday, as the Earth moved � literally � just off Indonesia,
disaster and tragedy swooped down on India�s eastern coast, riding the crest of
30-foot high tidal waves. Nature�s double whammy � an earthquake at sea near
Sumatra, leading to tides that cut into the peninsula of India � killed at
least 9,500, as per agency estimates, across southeast Asia.

�I was being swept out to sea, I felt afraid, powerless�
Disaster struck with no warning out of a faultlessly clear blue sky. I was
taking my morning swim around the island that my businessman-brother Geoffrey
bought on a whim a decade ago and turned into a tropical paradise just 200
yards from one of the world�s most beautiful beaches on the Sri Lankan
mainland.

Andamans cut off, damaged runway delays relief flights
With the epicentre of the second quake barely 60 km west of Indira Point, the
worst hit may be Andaman and Nicobar Islands. But relief for the islands may be
delayed as communication and air services are severely damaged.

Tsunami: So rare that India did not bother to monitor it
To understand why an earthquake below the seabed off Indonesia smashed the
coastline of Sri Lanka and India, imagine a series of long waves travelling
over the ocean at the speed of a jet aircraft. Should this disaster�more
frequent in the Pacific�repeat in Indian waters, we have no warning system in
place.

�Wave came when they were cheering the batsman�
It was one of those perfect Sunday mornings at the Marina: couples strolling
down the beach, parents calling out to children, vendors pitching tents and
those six boys playing cricket.
