Days earlier, the most powerful earthquake in 40 years triggered a tsunami that rippled across the Indian Ocean, causing death and devastation along the shores of southern and eastern Asia and east Africa. After the first wave surge struck, many people rushed to the strangely water-vacant shore to grab fish that had been left on the beach. But all were caught by surprise when a larger set of waves came crashing down upon them.

On 26 December 2004, a major earthquake off Sumatra and a series of secondary earthquakes throughout the Andaman and Nicobar Islands caused many simultaneous tsunamis that radiated around the Indian Ocean. The tsunamis arrived as huge surges of water that powered over the coral reefs to smash on the land, resulting in enormous loss of life and destruction of property.
