What you say is true. I’ve been through several hurricanes (I am, in NO way, equating the tsunami to a hurricane where you get several days notice to evacuate). I stopped talking about how destructive and life changing the aftermath is because people, even my own family (who live in another country), couldn’t understand anything beyond what they saw in the news.

Great documentary, but I don’t think any documentary can accurately portray the timeline for those who experienced it. How many of us take a fire alarm seriously? In this case, it wasn’t smoke, it was water. There was no getting away.
