  • After which the deadly waves traveled to Thailand with a 500 mph speed and crossed the Indian ocean with a death toll of 5,400 civilians and 2,000 foreign tourists.  As there were large faults and the earthquake rapture the 900-mile long stretch Indian and Australian plate boundary and the oceanic floor was forced upwards.
  • The occurrence of the earthquake and the large scale destruction of life and property clearly shows the lack of awareness of people and lack of information system to track on the natural disaster.
