On December 26, 2004, a series of tidal waves killed hundreds of
thousands and devastated communities around the Indian Ocean. With
around 100 tsunamis striking the world's coastlines each decade,
NOVA investigates what made the recent event so powerful and
catastrophic, presenting a chilling minute-by-minute picture
of what happened that fateful morning. With the help of clear
explanations and animation, together with the human stories of
individuals caught up in the catastrophe, the program is both
illuminating and heartbreaking.
