I hate it when kids aren’t taken seriously in situations like these, just because they’re young doesn’t mean they’re stupid and oblivious of what’s happening.
I do too. Some kids can sense danger, I think. It happens all the time, we just don’t hear about it much. Kids and pets are in tune with their surroundings more than we adults.
Imagine if some other kid coughed into his hands and then shared his pencil with her which got her sick, which resulted in her missing school that day. Butterfly effect 😮, that would be kinda dope
What an amazing girl. Even after her parents didn’t budge she still kept trying and eventually got her way, saving many lives. She deserves an award for that ❤️ 🏆
this is why sometimes, you NEED to take kids seriously. was she young? yes. was she correct and ended up saving the lives of over a hundred people? yes.
yeah. I mean, why do we have to learn English in years 5 and above, as we only learn how to overcomplicate English using complex words, why do you have to learn geography when geography is just maps, why do we have to learn history when we do not need to look onto the past and we have to look towards the future. Why do we have to learn science in higher years when we will very likely not be a scientist? why do we have to have geology when it is just a mix of science and history? Why do we have to learn maths in secondary and above when we will not be using algebra to go to school the fastest, or using the longest side of the right angle triangle to make money? Instead, why can't schools just teach us more about stuff we will use in our lives?! Such as survival skills, or presentation skills (practising for interviews when becoming an adult), business skills OR ANYTHING THAT CAN MAKE AN INCOME. I mean, what is the point of having Spanish lessons when we students will be too poor to even travel because of school NOT TEACHING US PROPER LESSONS TO MAKE MONEY, AND BY TIME WE MANAGE TO MAKE MONEY, WE WOULD HAVE FORGOTTEN ALL OF OUR SPANISH LESSONS? Now, the school system used to be great, IN THE MEDIEVAL TIMES. And nobody decided to change up the school system?! That is insane.
This makes me cry. I can't imagine how much stressed and desperate she was, knowing the great danger that was about to come both for her and her family and others, but struggling to get heard.. I feel for what this 6 years old girl had to go through. Imagine what if the same thing had happened on other places at the time, a kid or someone tried to warn people, but instead they didn't listen and no one is here to tell the story.
not really lol in the interveiw she didn't mention anything about "screaming with urgency". the dad apparently did tell the life gaurds pretty soon, and it was only the mom who didn't know what a tsunami was. these videos are always over enphasised for storytelling purposes.

@@parakeetbudgie nah I think it's because they wanted to celebrate Christmas there or something like that. I have a chapter about Tilly Smile coming in my exam, I don't even remember half of the things though.
This 2004 tsunami, happened in Aceh, Indonesia. Fast foward, met a survivor at a hospital I was recovering in, who casually explained the events that sent chills down my spine. She wasn't right at the beach but could see the bodies that the wave brought into the town. Disfigured, sometimes just pieces, sometimes still whole. And the help they got was ramen noodles. They threw that shit from the heli like rain so anyone can get it. She said since they had no choice ppl collect these ramen noodles among the floating corpses and eat it raw since there's no clean water or fire.
@@HAIRHOLIC_1 because getting hit on the head with a metal can from several hundred feet in the air hurts a lot more than getting hit in the head with instant ramen. Also I am guessing that it was cheaper to buy thousands of packs of ramen than to buy thousands of cans of tuna
@@HAIRHOLIC_1 The cans wouldn't float, could hurt someone and the survivors might not have the tools to open the cans. In these situations you often have people stranded on roofs. How would they open a can?
Pft XD.. Though I kinda get it. She’s 10 after all. For a lot of parents when it comes to that age their reaction would be the same as them talking about aliens that are gonna come invade earth or something Lol.
I was 6 when Tsunami happened in Thailand and I’m really sorry for all the victims. Back then our country didn’t have a warning system for tsunami bc it’s never happen before and there is a theory that Tsunami will rarely happen in Indian Ocean. It’s really sad that many people died from this event not only in Thailand but in other countries too, hope they rest in peace.
In my opinion, The Great Tsunami is _the_ Greatest natural disaster in human history! 😢 The eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii did not have a scope of victims so great you could think of it as a _percentage of the World!_ The Winter of 1817 covered the entire world, and made everyday life miserable for people _everywhere,_ but did not kill off so many people, at least not so fast. .... And, The Great Flood survived by Noah happened just before the beginning of history.

Not everything we learn in school is useless. I know we won’t see most of it in the real world, depending on our paths, but things like changes in the environment around us? They can be really helpful. I’m glad they listened to her, though. I’m a teenager and I’ll admit, us minors don’t always know what we’re talking about but if we learned something, we usually remember it when we really need it. That and we’re getting better at arguing since we have access to research now lol

You can always tell the good parents like my next door neighbour, she's old and all her kids visit her several times a week. The sons too, this is the dad i aspire to be.
nah bro ungrateful children forgetting about their parents is a completely unrelated and sad issue. you think you sound cool but you just sound like a jerk

My dad was attempting to murder my mother and my 5 Year old ass was able to get my moms friend on the phone and apparently with my description of the scene she may have thought they were having sex and she eventually hung up drunk & laughing. Yeah I've been to therapy lol.
What a weird thing for him to say. I knew about tsunamis as a kid in the 90’s. They’ve been happening a long fing time. Lol maybe he meant they were rare? I don’t think one has occurred in Thailand since
The comment I was looking for. Even if "back then not lots of people had heard the word tsunami" you won't make me believe life guards weren't trained to keep keep eye out for the signs and recognise them. A 6-year-old doing a lifeguard's job??
This reminds me of a time when I was 10, too. I always had a fear of tornadoes and would get scared when it stormed. During one particular storm I just had this gut feeling there was actually a tornado this time and told my parents who brushed it off. And then the tornado sirens went off. People should take their kids more seriously, they may be young but that doesn't completely obscure their ability to observe.
My parents 1000% wouldn't have believed me and would've laughed at me. It must be so tough being a kid without having any respect from people older than you, even though situations like this happen more than you'd think
Do that in modern schools if you want to be indoctrinated into a revolutionary antifa drone that hates themselves, their gender, the country and humanity.
Her determination to alert people to the danger makes her a hero. My mom used to say a biblical reference about the watchman sounding the alarm, and when he was ignored he just said "I did my job". I never understood that reference until hearing about this young lady.
Can you really blame them for brushing it off at the start? She's 10yo just learned about tsunamis and thinks there's one coming on the beach while the life guards were somehow clueless not something a lot of people would take seriously at first tbh thankfully the dad did talk to the lifeguards about it.
“Tilly, if you don’t come here, I will give you a whipping of a lifetime-“ “I should remind you that you wouldn’t be here if I didn’t tell you there’s a tsunami.”
BlackNight Something tells me that if she came from a a family with regular whippings she'd have completely held her tongue. Over 100 people dead if she had lazy parents who whip their kids.
“In 2004…back then most people had never even heard of the word Tsunami.” Lol. What?! Yes, you’re absolutely right and I just learned another word recently…rain. Am I spelling that correctly? Rain? I heard it for the first time last week when water miraculously started falling from the sky!
Lmao. Let me do one better! " In 2004....back then most people had never even heard of the word Tsunami." This is very true and absolutely correct. I just learned a new word "Water".... Rechecking just to see if I spelled it correctly... So this new water is the thing that I drank 15mins ago to quench my thirst. I thought it was liquid air at first.

I think it's obvious what the comment is trying to imply and you need to improve your reading comprehension.
@@ewanko6987 You forgot to add finance and economics. Also, since technology is advancing and we are gradually entering a technological world, these types of subjects are valuable in order to achieve certain degrees. Thus, your comment is invalid, but I can see how you derived the origin of your opinion as not everyone chooses to undertake a degree along those lines. However, it is still the majority.
Wow! Way to go Tilly! I heard of another girl who rang the bell alerting her town & also saving many lives. Normally her dad would ring the bell, bc he was the Sheriff or something. I think out of urgency is why she rang the bell. However, she too was the only one that recognized the warning signs.
This story is actually taught in my English class of grade 7 and I instantly remembered this was taught, this was such a great story which taught me to apply what u have been taught in school and try to always try your best to help others :)
@@kluaytodnampla I'm from Alaska and I've known what Tsunamis are since I was a little kid. The way this guy says it, it sounds like he's actually stating that the majority of the earths population had no idea what a tsunami was in 2004....like it was new thing or something, which is 100% wrong and he shouldn't be stating fake facts because there's dumb people out there who will believe him.
They didn't all have access to the internet and they didn't have the best schooling what you're saying is false Source: I have friends in Thailand Japan and south Korea and I asked them
This is why school is important, you’ll need it some day, doesn’t matter what situation it is, you’ll need it some day, it might be tomorrow, it might be in a few minutes, hours, maybe in a few years, but the information you receive in school, you’ll need it, pay attention to details in school, because one day, you could save 100’s of thousands of lives with just a few facts you learned in school, trust me, mark my words, you’ll need it.
Dec. 2004, I had a dream the night before about a huge sunami, We were at my Dads' for Christmas vacation. So, I told everybody about it. The next day..I woke up and heard it on the international news. When I went in the kitchen and told my family.. they said.. "that was just your dream from yesterday." "No, not just a dream, it really happened." They thought I had lost my mind. That event Profoundly affected me. I was completely enthralled in the videos, the stories, the movies, All the People who lost their lives, the survivors. It was just like my Dream. Thank You so much for this real live story, this is a Blessing to me.
Her persistence was the key. She truly is a HERO. So many more could have been saved. The Government did not listen to scientists who were not only right then but, NOW predict a bigger one and?...
I remember hearing about her in the new the next day! It was quite amazing 💙 kudos to her for remembering the signs and being insistent on the seriousness of the situation!
You know she'll win every family argument after that "remember that one time I saved all of your lives?"

nah bro ungrateful children forgetting about their parents is a completely unrelated and sad issue. you think you sound cool but you just sound like a jerk
@@MG-cd5dz how? Shitty parents get put in nursing homes
I both love and LIKE my children. We all love AND like each other. My 29 year old daughter is gradually taking over control (emotionally speaking) of the family because she demonstrates the most good sense and emotional strength.
Someone was paying attention in class. Good for her and the fact that she saved
so many lives is amazing.
The fact that she wouldn’t budge is awesome then for the lifeguards to believe this young girl truly amazing just all around

My dad was attempting to murder my mother and my 5 Year old ass was able to get my moms friend on the phone and apparently with my description of the scene she may have thought they were having sex and she eventually hung up drunk & laughing.
Yeah I've been to therapy lol.
"back then, no one had even heard of a tsunami before." In 2004 they would have
What a weird thing for him to say. I knew about tsunamis as a kid in the 90’s. They’ve been happening a long fing time. Lol maybe he meant they were rare? I don’t think one has occurred in Thailand since
Thailand isn't familiar with it back then. It never happened before. And the number of dead said it all.
He meant like, for that place
That's why listening to kids sometimes are right. Respect to the girl and her dad and the lifeguard for believing her.
Way to go girl by not giving up u saved all those lives, c there really r angels among us, we just need to listen sometimes. She really is a hero
WHAT THE FU*K DOES THE LIFEGUARD DOING?!?!?? WAITING FOR A KID YELLING AT THEM FOR TELLING THEM THE MOST BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR A LIFEGUARD?!?!?!?!
As he said, barely anyone has even heard of one at the time, it isn’t surprising if he didn’t know
If you think that knowing when there’s gonna be a tsunami is basic lifeguard knowledge you are retarded. Deadly Tsunamis are rare
The lifeguards agreed with her immediately but her parents didnt
The comment I was looking for. Even if "back then not lots of people had heard the word tsunami" you won't make me believe life guards weren't trained to keep keep eye out for the signs and recognise them. A 6-year-old doing a lifeguard's job??
WHY ARE WE YELLING
This reminds me of a time when I was 10, too. I always had a fear of tornadoes and would get scared when it stormed. During one particular storm I just had this gut feeling there was actually a tornado this time and told my parents who brushed it off. And then the tornado sirens went off.
People should take their kids more seriously, they may be young but that doesn't completely obscure their ability to observe.
You could probably feel the air and barometer changes that happen when a tornado forms. That’s really interesting
I'm still scared to death of natural disasters, i've never experienced almost any of them
Props to the school teacher for actually teaching students something.
Tilly's a smart little girl, and I hope her family reminds her of that, and the lives she saved for the rest of her life when she feels down.
I feel like this would be the same reaction from most parents unfortunately, they never listen and then accuse you of the same thing😒
My parents 1000% wouldn't have believed me and would've laughed at me. It must be so tough being a kid without having any respect from people older than you, even though situations like this happen more than you'd think
If I was in that girl's place everyone at that beach would be dead so yeah. A lot of adults just don't listen to kids
Props to the school as well for teaching kids lifesaving information!
The fact that I learned this story in school a couple we go makes it even Crazier
And people say they got taught nothing in school.. this chick deserves harvard and a medal of honor
Moral of the story: Stay in school kids.
Do that in modern schools if you want to be indoctrinated into a revolutionary antifa drone that hates themselves, their gender, the country and humanity.
more like, don't underestimate kids and their knowledge just because they're kids
I know I’m young, but I’m 11 and I have more knowledge in history and geography than my parents and teachers
@@harrietsmells u r toddler get out of youtube 11 year old child

Him “nobody knew what a tsunami was”
Also him “she got taught in school
Because it was in Thailand and she went to school in England lol
do u rlly think england gets tsunamis?
No matter where it is how do u not know what a tsunami is
@@josephmiskin3806 education system is garbage in Thailand, said by some Thai dude in the reply of another comment like this
Its 2004 in developing country, what to expect? 🤷♀️
Kudos to the teachers that taught her, their work is invaluable
Congratulations to her, for the fact that she recognised the signs and saved all of those lifes! Congrats for the kind of human she seems to be
I was actually raised in thailand. And heard this story in school before when I was younger. Gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
Knowledge is the greatest tool when it comes to survival...
Prayers to anyone impacted by stuff like this 😕🙏🏼
Her determination to alert people to the danger makes her a hero. My mom used to say a biblical reference about the watchman sounding the alarm, and when he was ignored he just said "I did my job". I never understood that reference until hearing about this young lady.
my mum and dad were in that, thankfully they survived
Ah good ol parenting you have to pressure them for way too long just to get them to listen
Can you really blame them for brushing it off at the start? She's 10yo just learned about tsunamis and thinks there's one coming on the beach while the life guards were somehow clueless not something a lot of people would take seriously at first tbh thankfully the dad did talk to the lifeguards about it.
What greater love is this. this.She was a hero before a teen.God bless and protect her.
that feeling of not being believed is the worst, tilly must've felt so frustrated when her family wasn't thinking much of it
“Tilly, if you don’t come here, I will give you a whipping of a lifetime-“
“I should remind you that you wouldn’t be here if I didn’t tell you there’s a tsunami.”
Parents: "i gave birth to you. and if i didn't you wouldn't have saves anyones life."

BlackNight Something tells me that if she came from a a family with regular whippings she'd have completely held her tongue. Over 100 people dead if she had lazy parents who whip their kids.
She is absolutely amazing for doing that, and you are absolutely amazing for uploading those beautiful stuff
Bro. That person can win every argument
This was such a great story that we actually had this in our literature book in grade 7 lol
Great story? 200,000 people died
@@deeznutz007 bruh when did I say this is fake. Story is a story. It's the telling of past incidences. Please learn common sense.
Lifeguards: Hmmm KINDA WEIRD
Family: THERE'S GONNA BE A TSUNAMI
Lifeguards: Mmmyes indubitably I suppose
It’s so lucky she learnt about the tsunami too be able to save the 100 lives
I read up abt this hero in our geography textbooks! Such a heroic act from someone so young!
I though he said “my cat was one of the few”
“In 2004…back then most people had never even heard of the word Tsunami.”
Lol. What?! Yes, you’re absolutely right and I just learned another word recently…rain. Am I spelling that correctly? Rain? I heard it for the first time last week when water miraculously started falling from the sky!
Lmao. Let me do one better!
" In 2004....back then most people had never even heard of the word Tsunami."
This is very true and absolutely correct. I just learned a new word "Water".... Rechecking just to see if I spelled it correctly... So this new water is the thing that I drank 15mins ago to quench my thirst. I thought it was liquid air at first.
Thank you for doing all these incredible story videos for all of us to enjoy💖 I feel you bring to life prior stories many don't get the attention they deserve💖
It’s even better when the girl who saved 100 lives actually survived
*That girl is a legend!*

Why is everyone arguing in the comments? Guess we’ll never know 🤫
They say that about algebra not tsunamis mate
The Pythagorean Theorem not knowledge about Natural Disasters you dweeb
@@benjiandnumbers Well, algebra is still important. Especially if you are looking forward to getting a degree in mathematics or science fields. You didn't understand the comment either way. People say that in general about school. Students think you don't need any of the information you learn in school and that it won't help you in real life. I think it's obvious what the comment is trying to imply and you need to improve your reading comprehension.
@@hopsmax2827algebra and calculus is normally never really used by people unless they want to get a degree in mathematics or engineering
@@ewanko6987 You forgot to add finance and economics. Also, since technology is advancing and we are gradually entering a technological world, these types of subjects are valuable in order to achieve certain degrees. Thus, your comment is invalid, but I can see how you derived the origin of your opinion as not everyone chooses to undertake a degree along those lines. However, it is still the majority.
Wow! Way to go Tilly! I heard of another girl who rang the bell alerting her town & also saving many lives. Normally her dad would ring the bell, bc he was the Sheriff or something. I think out of urgency is why she rang the bell. However, she too was the only one that recognized the warning signs.
my science teacher actually told me this story a month ago while we were learning about tsunamis. what an amazing girl tilly is.
This story is actually taught in my English class of grade 7 and I instantly remembered this was taught, this was such a great story which taught me to apply what u have been taught in school and try to always try your best to help others :)
"Back then, most people had never even heard of the word Tsunami before..."
_Ummmm this is a complete lie_
"Most people" doesn't apply to Japan and country that have tsunami often
They really dont. People in my country doesnt get internet back then so they know nothing
@@kluaytodnampla I'm from Alaska and I've known what Tsunamis are since I was a little kid. The way this guy says it, it sounds like he's actually stating that the majority of the earths population had no idea what a tsunami was in 2004....like it was new thing or something, which is 100% wrong and he shouldn't be stating fake facts because there's dumb people out there who will believe him.
They didn't all have access to the internet and they didn't have the best schooling what you're saying is false
Source: I have friends in Thailand Japan and south Korea and I asked them
@@loneassassin29 the woman that made this comment section possible is one that does not research before typing.
People who say 99% of things you learn in school is never used:
Maybe, but that 1% could make all the difference.
Awesome and very aware young girl! That awareness is a great thing!
Man things like these always happens but not to this extent, this is just awesome :D XD
If I told my parents a tsunami was gonna happen they would be think I was lying💀
Well done young lady, you are a hero! 👍
This is why school is important, you’ll need it some day, doesn’t matter what situation it is, you’ll need it some day, it might be tomorrow, it might be in a few minutes, hours, maybe in a few years, but the information you receive in school, you’ll need it, pay attention to details in school, because one day, you could save 100’s of thousands of lives with just a few facts you learned in school, trust me, mark my words, you’ll need it.
Idk man that was never taught to me in school...
It was prolly just a random fact that the teacher taught their students about
Good job Tilly! I hope she's doing well now.
So I've learnt about her in my literature classes of how she saved a hundreds of life.
Now that is a great story. The child did something wonderful that day.
This is a great example of why education is important
But not just the education itself, but giving children the burning passion to learn
I will never forget that day. So many lives lost . Thank God Tilly was so smart to remember what she learned in school
I'm sorry her dad was not .
This girl was taught by the same geography teacher I was.
Dec. 2004, I had a dream the night before about a huge sunami, We were at my Dads' for Christmas vacation. So, I told everybody about it. The next day..I woke up and heard it on the international news. When I went in the kitchen and told my family.. they said.. "that was just your dream from yesterday." "No, not just a dream, it really happened." They thought I had lost my mind. That event Profoundly affected me. I was completely enthralled in the videos, the stories, the movies, All the People who lost their lives, the survivors. It was just like my Dream.
Thank You so much for this real live story, this is a Blessing to me.
Her persistence was the key. She truly is a HERO. So many more could have been saved.
The Government did not listen to scientists who were not only right then but, NOW predict a bigger one and?...
THE IMPOSSIBLE
YOU NEED TO WATCH THAT MOVIE
ITS ALL TRUE AND OMG I CRIED SO MUCH ITS ABOUT THIS TSUNAMI
Ben, get her the perfect SpongeBob popsicle. That’s an order.
I like how it is interstellar's "those arent mountains...
Those are waves" music is play
I appreciate your positive post's. So many are foolish, or negative. Thank you.
I remember hearing about her in the new the next day! It was quite amazing 💙 kudos to her for remembering the signs and being insistent on the seriousness of the situation!
