  • In the second part of our series, we look at the beautiful country of Indonesia, which was hit very hard by the tsunami in 2004. The devastating tsunami occurred especially in the northern province of Aceh, where there was a huge destruction. In the video, we deal in detail with the causes of such large and destructive waves. The video has an educational purpose, so you will not find explicit footage of the destruction here. Thanks for watching and like.

    PIN MY COMMENT.
    I will share my experiences while in Indonesia 2010, 2015, 2018 (Queen Mother Nature's Journey). I'll be honest when I talk about Indonesia, so I apologize in advance. An experience like no other, because I was very happy when I was on a land that has a beautiful, unique, diverse and captivating natural history but also has the biggest, deadliest and most natural disasters in the world.
    INDONESIA, at first I didn't know anything about Indonesia. In the end I got a news of a natural disaster in Indonesia, I immediately went to a large library in Europe. It turns out that there is a book that immortalizes the great natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia. The name Indonesia has been recorded and engraved long ago in Europe without us knowing it. I will talk about nature.
    The advantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : 85% of tourist attractions in Indonesia are natural and 15% are man-made, even UNESCO labels Indonesia as a world heritage. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful, charming, unique and different but also saves a lot of dark history written by the International. Talking about nature, Indonesia is second to none because of the world level.
    Disadvantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : Indonesia is a country that is labeled as an area prone to natural disasters, not only that but also the most deadly and dangerous. There are so many dark history, natural disasters in Indonesia claimed a lot of victims in the world, most often occur and can also have an impact on other countries. It's all written in the history of the world. It is undeniable, the power of Nature in Indonesia is far more frightening, very strong and deadly. Not Chile, Japan, Philippines, USA, Italy, New Zealand, India, China, Russia and Canada. Because the largest number of victims of natural disasters in the world is Indonesia.
    The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17,032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s? Could be more. In fact, the most earthquakes in the world are not Japan or Chile, but Indonesia. Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, storms, typhoons, earthquakes eruptions and others phenomenon. Very brutal, based on true story.
    Overall, Indonesia has been named a QUEEN MOTHER NATURE, if it wakes up from its sleep then a big event will repeat itself. Nature in Indonesia cannot be used as a joke, because physically Indonesia's geography is included in "ABNORMAL". Nature in Indonesia has a very different level compared to other countries, because it is completely beyond human reason. Many historians, scientists, researchers and volunteers are involved in the "RAGE OF QUEEN MOTHER NATURE IN INDONESIA".
    The total points for natural attractions in Indonesia are 10/10.
    Queen Mother Nature brutal power level.

    Please find out how many total deaths are caused by major natural disasters in Indonesia, they occur too often, in fact many other countries have cooperated with Indonesia but have not been able to control natural disasters in Indonesia and are finally labeled as "ABNORMAL".
    Other countries also experience natural disasters but not as strong, as much and as brutal as nature in Indonesia. It is clear that the physical geography location of Indonesia, which is far apart, seems to be torn apart by nature. Previously, Indonesia territory was not shaped like that but was still connected to Southeast Asia and Australia.

    Among many destructions at that time in Banda Aceh, there was 1 particular village where all the villagers were all saved because of the century old folklore that they have about Smong, the catastrophic giant waves. It said:
    "Hear this story. One day in the past, our village sinks. Starting with an earthquake. Then followed by rising waves, higher than a tree. Watch the sea after the earthquake. When the water recedes, Smong follows. When suddenly buffalo fled from the shores, don't take fish from the beach. Don't wait a second; just run for your life to the higher place."
    After further research it was revealed that this folklore was made by the tsunami survivors from this village around 1907, because at that time this village was one of the villages worst hit by the tsunami.

    Even though there is no video footage of Lhoknga and Meulaboh, one can use the video footage of the Japan tsunami of 2011 as a reference of the devastation. If you look carefully at the Japan series, there's one instance of video footage taken from almost ground level from someone in the town of Noda. You can see the wall of water around 75 feet high approaching the coast. There's also footage of a tsunami hitting the city of Minami-Sanriku where a young emergency broadcast female worker died when the tsunami hit. There are photographs of the supervisor on top of a broadcast antenna clinging for life as the wave covered his building that was around 4 stories high in which 40 of his co-workers died, which included the female I mentioned. Her body was recovered miles away from the devastation.

I read that the quake slowed the rotation of the earth my 2 nanoseconds. My heart broke for all those people that went through that it was like watching a nightmare unfold. The destruction of nature is massive it is scary.

    It’s interesting that this video was made specifically on the destruction of Sumatra Indonesia by the 2004 Tsunami. Many countries were affected by this tsunami but usually the only place focused as far as Indonesia is the city of Banda Aceh. Maybe it’s because it’s one of the largest cities and it’s the capital of Ache Sumatra, which is why there were more casualties than any of the other towns. But towns like Meulaboh and other places north of it before Banda Aceh, was where the Tsunami reached it’s greatest height and strength. I can only imagine what it looked like and how scary it must of been to see an 80 to 100ft wave hitting the coast and towns of those areas no more than 30 mins after the earthquake.

    I’ve probably seen every video ever made public about the 2004 disaster. This one has good info about the Aceh province, including video I’ve never seen before that purports to show some of the waves coming ashore. Many people who were shooting the most dangerous and dramatic tsunami footage in 2004 and in Japan in 2011 didn’t survive, and neither did their cameras. It’s extremely rare to see these images. Yes, people, tsunamis travel at jet speeds across the ocean from their point of origin (600 mph.) The waves change as they approach shallow waters and shore, when they slow down and grow in height. But the wave energy remains intense, like a huge Mississippi River pushing up against a fence. As the waves come ashore, so do those mountains of water-filled energy like the Mississippi River, an unstoppable force smashing and drowning anything in their paths.
    While virtually everything in the city of Banda Aceh was destroyed, one or two mosques survived. It was not due to some kind of religious miracle or act of a deity; it was because often these were the only well-built buildings in the neighborhood. Many of the mosques had hundreds of corpses in their courtyards where people had sought shelter from the tsunami. Indonesia is a highly religious country. But when there’s no god to save you, prayers are worthless.

    I've often wondered which tsunami was bigger and more destructive between Indonesia and Japan. Its hard to tell when this one was hardly filmed compared to Japan. Its also interesting because this tsunami had diffraction as it was the negative part of the wave whereas Japan didn't. Again, it will be interesting to know if the negative wave is stronger than the positive. Just a thought

    • @DoubleV741

      Both were about the same height.
      Up to 40+meters.
      Japan had 10 meter tsunami walls, it slowed the waves down a little bit, but heartbreakingly not enough, they have warnings systems though.
      Indonesia and the other 13 countries that were hit had no protection at all
      And that hurts me so much because tsunami warnings have existed since 1967 and the professionals were very well aware of the danger these 14 countries were in, they just never bothered to put them there and still til today it makes me livid.
      I hope that there are tsunami warnings now.
      In 2012 there was almost a repeat of 2004 in Indonesia when a 8.6 earthquake struck in the same area.
      The difference between the 8.6 and the 9.3 earthquake was that the 9.3 earthquake shook the plates vertically meanwhile the 8.6 plates moved horizontally in the 2012 quake.
      Had that been vertically it could have a repeat of 2004.
      People were so scared they all ran towards the mountains when this happened they said they didnt want to take any chances and l can't blame them.
      They are now on much higher alert.
      Each year on the dates the tsunamis occurred l am 5 minutes silent and light candles for the victims and those who were affected by the tsunami and earthquake.

      In Japan, in some places the negative wave was significant, but not the almost 2 kilometers in some location during the 2004 event. The wave in one Japanese village was almost 160 feet. That being said, the people of Japan know large EQ's generate Tsunami and have the world's best warning systems. The countries in 2004 had NONE & eyewitness reports from both Ache and Galle say the visible sky was completely obstructed by walls of black water. I can't even imagine...I just pray the Indian Ocean countries HAVE followed through and installed Tsunami Warning Systems. BTW...Japan donated more money to Sri Lanka for relief than any other country.💔✌

She was not even accepted right away because she looked very shabby, She was accused of being a mad girl. so she finally went home and contacted another TV station and told him the truth. The TV station also came over to her and she handed over the tape. Eventually the media started broadcasting the news and help arrived.

      There wasn't much that could have been done. The waters reached 65 feet in some areas. The amount of force from the volume of water would have most likely toppled any wall. Some people in the area said that it was even 30 meters (90 feet.) The tsunami in Japan is testimony to what a wall can do and it wasn't much. Tsunamis are not just waves, it's a massive volume of water that also comes along with it, behind the wave, and there are many waves, each toppling over eachother, further pushing the water levels up higher with what is already there from the waves beforehand. Many people think that it's a single wave, but they come in increments and depending on the size of the earthquake, there can be many, many waves. The first wave isn't always the biggest, either. A lot of people die thinking it's over and come down from higher ground to inspect but end up trapped by the incoming waves after..It is very unfortunate. A wall CAN work, but it would need to be very thick, and would need to be atleast 100 feet tall just incase. But even that can go wrong if its integrity is compromised. If there is any wash away from below, it would also topple.

The only viable solution is what they've been doing in Japan's rebuilt: bring in soil, increase ground level by 30m/100ft, then rebuild the city. Japan can afford the astronomical costs, Indonesia can't even afford a functioning alarm system
