An underwater earth quake is the cause of a Tidal wave hitting the coast of Asia today. The death toll is approaching 4000.

DEATH TOLL CONTINUING TO RISE AFTER EARTHQUAKES AND TIDAL WAVES IN SOUTH EAST ASIA
The full extent of the unfolding earthquake and tidal wave disaster across South East Asia is almost impossible to comprehend. The death toll is now approaching 4,000. Sri Lanka and India appear to be the worst hit, but 6 countries in total have been seriously affected. The disaster was triggered earlier today by a huge undersea earthquake, off the northwest coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The quake measured 8.9 on the Richter scale, the strongest in 40 years and the 5th strongest earthquake since 1900 it was followed by powerful after-shocks and generated a series of major tidal waves. Hour by hour the death toll is continuing to rise, this is the latest on casualties as we understand them. Sri Lanka and India appear to be the worst hit. There are reports more than 2,000 have died in Sri Lanka and 1,000 in India. Hundreds have also been killed in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Maldives. Thousands across the region are also unaccounted for. There is no information at this stage on Australian casualties but the department of foreign affairs has set up a hotline for anyone worried about friends or relatives overseas. That number is 1800 00 22 14.

Hrmm, I went google image searching for tsunami's and tidal waves..
not many pictures of the real deal.

Its an act of god! someone in asia was reading our forums!

You're a lucky son of a bitch teq

huh, I didnt feel a thing

Fark thats big...8.9...I heard that the south pole also had an 8.8 a few days ago that was felt in Hobart!...maybe mother earth is just adjusting her skirt at the mo.\

I was in San Fran two weeks after the big one in '89 and while we were driving down south thru Santa Cruz we had a 3.2 quake...I thought I had blown a tire until I realised it was the road that was wobbling and not the car. Didn't really know what had happened until the radio reported the quake in the area we were travelling in. They are scary events..I can't imagine what a big one would be like.

hmmm badness

Psycho and his stories are maddest =)

world = ending

fark my parents are in cambodia atm - that was close :/

my dad's in the philippines....
thats not too cool

f***sake i just remembered my mates went backpacking up north and then they were heading to thailand but i lost there number when my phone f***ed up..just been ringing c***s frantically trying to f***in find out there number :(:(:(
will have to try tomorrow morning
sweet good luck trying to sleep :S

anyone know where you'd go to sign up for volunteering for missionary work and s*** like that in indonesia or wherever.. assuming there will be some help needed..

this is pretty cool to happen right after christmas too.. :S i don't reckon it will be the end of this though.. there was already one close to us like a week ago but the lines didn't go vertically or something hence not causing a tidal wave and just an earthquake.. otherwise we woulda been farked

its horrible to see and hear whats happened in asia. I dont wanna be an antzy pants but just for PC -> tidal waves are caused by the tides, tsunamis are caused by undersea tremors or earthquakes

Jesus Christ I just realised that my wife has a workmate and her boyfriend backpacking thru Sri Lanka at the moment! That report says its one of the worst hit...I hope they are ok.

Gotta get on the phone to her parents asap.

Bah, I bet $50 dollars that they are all okay.
Dale and Psycho's.

nice one c*******.

I'm sure they will be too, but that doesn't mean you have to be an insensitve c*** about it.. if you were in the situation you'd be different.

Right, if I said "OMG I BET THEY'RE ALL DEAD" I'd understand your point..

However, I'm saying, I bet they are fine...
Stop being a bunch of pessimistic losers, fine if you wish to assume the worst, by all means go ahead, don't let me stop you, however, I think they're probably fine.

Whatever.

if you were in the situation you'd be different.

Yeah uhm, actually no, but of course, you'd know if I have been in any situation where it's possible someone I know might be in trouble and/or dead, and how I reacted.

i'm leaving qgl.

Loki, im not liking your insensitive attitude

Jesus f***, thats an earthquake.

That's pretty insane. Natural disasters are damn crazy with the amount of damage they can cause. Reportedly many of the dead in Thailand are tourists :(
Hope people that everyone from here knows was in the region are ok.

turns out my parents were in the thai islands, not cambodia.

thankfully they were in the gulf and not on the western side. Finally just got in contact with them and they didn't even know it had happened.

my brother and his mates left for thailand this morning. they go every year. he says the best place ever.

they found lots of bodies of dead children entangled in fishing nets :(

yeah spidz i saw something on SBS last night about how s*** the local news was and only just getting pictures out then or something, so that's probably why they didn't know.. heh..

Loki shutup you idiot. Just shutup.

You had me at hello.

it was the australian tectonic plate that moved to make the earthquakes... so i wonder what other surprises it has in store for all of us in the asia pacific :/

last edited by demon at 13:34:52 27/Dec/04

heh, we got a phone call this morning... two people that we knew were there (husband and wife)
wife was in a hotel, husband went down to the beach for a bit
BAM!
wave hit.
:S

so are they both okay or what =\

Tis quite devastating to hear about these things. I'm shocked to hear that 1 million people are now homeless! (according to an abc news report). That's crazy! I hope that all Australians present are safe.

they found lots of bodies of dead children entangled in fishing nets :(

They were there before the tidal wave.

^^ Harsh.

Also thats insane. So happy we dont really get anything like this here.

you sir, have no soul

the anniversary for cyclone tracey was only a few days ago =\

Oh, incase people cannot tell i'm just kidding around, I do feel bad for the people that have died.


I do have a soul.

well that is very sad

What the f***, you guys make no sense whatsoever, at no point in time anywhere on here have I said anything that even remotely suggests that I didn't care, I simply said I bet they're ok.

it says 12 000 now on a recent news update.

"50$ says there ok" is a fairly insensitive comment.

"I bet" is a figure of speech.
It's effective to saying "I'm so sure of it, that I'll put something on the line if I'm wrong"

Had I said "I'm sure they're ok" it would mean the same damn thing, it was 4am odd in the morning, like I was paying particular attention to choosing my words so wisely.

Yeah, let's get up in arms over what I said which essentially said positively that they're ok when other comments float around that have harmful intentions.

gee i really feel for these asians, what a shame. not

It's just bandwagon riding politics.

Now back to the tidal wave... :)

My auntie and two young nephews had just gone to shri-lanka for a short holiday. We haven't heard from them yet.

There's quite a few pictures from Thailand over here Pretty horrible.

My sister was off to the Maldives in June, guess that'll be cancelled now, and that is what will cause a significant amount of long term hurt for a lot of these communities, just how long it will take tourists to return.

Get f***ed, the whole f***ing lot of you.

Thanks for coming.

get a room f*****s

wau soo many e-thugz. on a more serious note, I had some friends that were yachting around thailand, just north of phucket. found out they are fine they were around the peninsula.

comments like

gee i really feel for these asians, what a shame. not

make me sick. i hope that you have to suffer the loss that some of these people have over the past couple of days so I can say "wow, soo sorry for you man.. NOT"

f***ing loser.

Everyone needs to settle the hell down.

I think people are pissed off because Loki was only betting a measly $50 in his original post. I'm sure if he bumped it up to $100 or maybe a few $1000 things would have been different. When you gamble, you really shouldn't start with low bets, you must go all out first time or not at all.

I remember a while ago an old friend told me this very important saying and it goes a little like this...if you

actualy, its teh fact that he has no simpathy about it. im sure there fine is the same as "sheel be right".

the statements lack compations about the subject, someone who has had there car reposesed doesn't want to hear "sheel be right" or "i bet you 50$ that you will be fine"

im sure your motives were good loki, just the way you said it was abit blunt

wau soo many e-thugz. on a more serious note, I had some friends that were yachting around thailand, just north of phucket. found out they are fine they were around the peninsula.

FYI, being out on the ocean in a boat is a pretty safe place to be. So long as you keep a sufficient distance from the shore (sorry, had to do it). Tsunamis on the open ocean are pretty safe, they travel real fast in the deep ocean, but aren't much higher than normal waves. When they hit shelfs they slow down and get taller and more dangerous.

Hrmm, I went google image searching for tsunami's and tidal waves..
not many pictures of the real deal.

That's because google's image cache predates tsunamis :)

Also, I don't know why people still call them tidal waves, as they have nothing credible to do with tides.

Btw, random tsunami pictures... these are NOT from the recent earthquake

Also, I don't know why people still call them tidal waves, as they have nothing credible to do with tides.

true! but tsunami is japanese for 'tidal wave' also :P i think the correct term is coastal storm surge.

A tsunami (from Japanese 津波 meaning wave in port or "harbor wave") is one or a series of ocean surface waves that occur after a large earthquake (having a vertical component of movement), seaquake, volcanic activity, slumps, or meteorite impacts in or near the sea. The term tidal wave is sometimes incorrectly used in place of tsunami but the two are different and in scientific usage tsunamis are not related to tides.

its jap for harbour(sp?) wave..

whatever that means..

Posted near the top of page 2

$50 bucks says you'd cry like a little bitch...

Ok pay up f*****s... He cried.. LIKE A LITTLE BITCH... Where is my money?!

apparently there's still a chance of more earthquakes in the next few days.. so i suggest to my old man that we go to alice springs just incase.. heh

We're safe on this side of the country.

But anyone watching Channel 9 might be bit worried if they live somewhere low-lying like Lota.

Some tsunami expert was saying how the fault near new zealand has no tsunami early warning system at all.

can never be too sure

You're a lucky son of a bitch teq

dude you've got no idea, I stayed on patong beach - kinda freaked me out a bit.
if a tsunami hit patong beach you would know about it, the whole town would be basically destroyed because of the low beach wall and the fact that its not very high above sea level to begin with.

Well we have tried a few times today to contact (Emily) over there but no mobile comms or SMS seems to be working? We can't contact her parents as they are in Melbourne somewhere and I guess they would be trying to contact her anyway. WE are hoping that she was doing what she said se would be a week or so ago when we saw her for Xmas drinks prior to leaving for Sri Lanka. She said her and b/f would be hiking most of their stay, which hopefully means they were inland and at some elevation when this s*** went down. And not anywhere near the beachfront at all. fingers crossed.

Alright, a few forums/websites later, and I came across some hi-res tsunami images from Phuket:

A few resized samples from that link:

From http://www.clarkefoundation.org/ comes:

Thank you for your concern about my safety in the wake of Sunday’s devastating tidal wave.

I am enormously relieved that my family and household have escaped the ravages of the sea that suddenly invaded most parts of coastal Sri Lanka, leaving a trail of destruction.

--snip--

Arthur Clarke
27 December 2004

Woah that video is unbelievable..

my sister was meant to be staying on one of the beaches that got hammered, except she missed the date on her deposit payment. Yay for slackness!

37,000

BBC1 reporting 39,000+ now.

We still haven't heard any news of my wife's friend that was in Sri Lanka, nor heard from her parents either. :(

Sunrise is reporting 59,000 and growing.

What a way to end the year :/

The numbers are kinda getting meaningless at this point, and the fact they rise exponentially every day just adds to that.

They should just say "tens of thousands dead", leave it at that, and concentrate on the relief effort. *Then* give us the final figure when they have it.

I heard about half of the death toll is children.

There goes the Thai sex trade.

i saw on the news a guy carrying his only son in a blanket.. was a little baby.. babies would of had no chance unless on high ground and kids virtually no chance even if they did no how to swim they would not of had the strength to keep swimming and would most likely swim against it instead of go with it and consume energy

There goes the Thai sex trade.

After they are buried maybe.

you sick f***ers talking about the thai sex trade when all these people have died, I hope you get run over by a car or something.

wtf is saying oh "oh poor baby,", and "oh I FEEL for them", going to do anyway? f*** that s***. 40k+ ppl wiped away while slothing it up using the justification of a capatilist christ mass which nobody went to Church for. Where was god eh, all the god bothering homo religious boofheads? s*** happens.

it's a little something most of us normal people have called compassion you f***... i wouldn't wish that s*** on anyone, even you for being a f***head and not having any compassion, i would hate to of seen your family over there, and i'm sure your tone would be much different, even if you didn't give a f*** about them... so shut the f*** up you f***head f***
kthx

On the kids thing - there is no way most of them would have had any chance of survival. But that would be the same for a lot of people who couldn't swim/elderly people/people with disabilities, etc. On top of that, the initial impact of the wave would have caused a lot of head/neck/back injuries from people getting thrown to the ground or getting hit by debris. Scary scary stuff.

Ahahahahaha!

i cant believe you guys can make jokes about such a disaster

i saw i video showing a middle aged man clinging for his life as the waters surged past him... his wife was grabbing him and had a terrified look on her face... no doubt both would be dead...as they got washed from the railing he was hanging onto... both washed away together...

this is nothing to joke about...

I just got the call...my mail order bride didn't make it :(

I guess... but more importantly

s*** happens.

This is just another one of those disasters that have been happening since the dawn of time. I guess I just don't have the knee-jerk emotional reaction that everyone else does.

its too early for tsunami jokes.

1 month is usually an acceptable period before we can start making jokes about sri lankans taking over the pipeline masters.

Surf Thailand.

68,000.... 69,000 people can't be wrong!

Haha, spidz.

Lucky you don't believe in god, or you'd be going straight to hell.

believe in god or not, he'll still DIAF.

Flood or fire?

its probably been said but

natural selection

and

meh. they'll get over it in about a week when 40 000 babies are spawned from 15yr old sex slaves

i dont give a f***

flame me

f*****s

yeah this was a good way to thin the population over there and rebuild the shacks and s***holes with some decent gear.

its probably been said but

natural selection

If natural selection was at all just, you would've been taped to the nose of one of the planes that flew into the WTC and would never have made the above post.

Do you know the sick thing about all this... that there is a 31 MILLION dollar lottery jackpot tonight. WHo the f*** needs 31 Million dollars? I bet i can think of a few million people who would benefit more that one Australian. I think that OZ Lotto should donate say 20 Million at least to the appeals and reduce the prize money to something less. No doubt there would be feral AUstralians out there that would kick up a stink but meh - i think it's ridiculous that we offer that amount of money to a single person when there are so many others so much more in need of it at this time.

Also, seeing news about asia and then people out buying fckloads of s***e at the myer stocktake sales... meh it is just such an eye opener as to how different two countries can be. (Not that i was not aware already but i'm sure you understand what i am getting at).

Auslotto is a private, non-government, business organization.

It's they're money to give away how they please. The more the offer as a prize, the more tickets they'll sell.

Two days early lovey

aw when ever it is... but still private organisation or not - it is a ridiculous amount of money that one person could not possibly use in a lifetime. It is the Australian public that supports said company so if the Australian public rallied to have the funds or portion of donated then there may be some consideration taken. Maybe they would sell more tickets if the money was to be given to an appeal?

Oh, i get what you mean now VC,

someone in phuket should buy a lotto ticket

i dunno they seem to be a bit down on their luck at the moment .

Hahah go Grunt.
I'll tell you why I can joke you f***en prat. It's as follows: every day people die worse deaths, in both bigger numbers and far worser manner,(and the homeless in your rich homeland USA), than this, yet you don't blink an eye. It's like when DI died (ahah), every one periodically starts f***en bawling. f*** that. Selective sorrow falls on my deaf ears.

While you're right about far worse happenings everyday, i.e. 3rd World countries...Grunt is simply trying to be compassionate dude, Lighten up

Maybe they would sell more tickets if the money was to be given to an appeal?

Hahaha, Haha...AHahaha I highly doubt it, Greed overcomes all.

last edited by eK at 19:16:05 29/Dec/04

greed only takes hold of those who know no compassion. I feel confident enough that it would hold some sort of sway.

slap69 your thoughts are totally original and refreshing. perhaps you should start some form of revolution against the man!

Hah, if anyone really gave a flying f***, they would be doing all they could, everyday, unpublicised, for everyone, not just CNN publicised victims. f*** off with that showing compassion s***. You ppl are startled, nothing more. It's pathetic. Stop swapping sides, at least stick to the capatalist pig side you have chosen/been bred into, no holds barred, then at least you posess resolve.

greed only takes hold of those who know no compassion.

To have compassion is to want to relieve people of suffering, 30 million isn't anywhere near enough money to do all that much, and even people with compassion I couldn't imagine giving 30 million dollars away.

How do you do your part for society then Lenin?

there was just a story on the news about the dude we knew that died there :(
wah.

i'd say you've just got one hell of an attitude problem mate.

I say we keep our money and offer our prayers for these poor people.

God will help them.

Sif. Communism is obviously the way to fly! Right comrade slap?

Do you know the sick thing about all this... that there is a 31 MILLION dollar lottery jackpot tonight. WHo the f*** needs 31 Million dollars? I bet i can think of a few million people who would benefit more that one Australian.

f***. thanks for the reminder - I was going to donate some money to unicef or something in aid for sri lanka etc but now I'm just gonna go buy $100 worth of lotto tickets.

you just cost them a donation by reminding me of the lotto you hearltess bitch, how can you sleep at night with that on your conscience?

greed only takes hold of those who know no compassion.

if you are so high and mighty this is for you.

a mega quickpick is $11.95

call: 1800 811 700 and donate $11.95

Hahaha, Haha...AHahaha I highly doubt it, Greed overcomes all.

actualy, if they advitised it, they could say something along the lines of "the next lottery will be half as big, half of the sales of lottery tickets will go to the rescue effort in asia."

probably get twice as much tickets as usual, because there is still the "i can win 15mil" but also, yes, i will buy for the people.

also the chances of $31million dollars going to one person is pretty slim isn't it.. i'm not very learned on the lottery.. but that money needs to be split between other division 1 winners + div 2 and so on.. if someone did win $31 million dollars then good on them and it's there choice to do whatever they like with it.
if i had the money i still would prefer to help out in a hands on way, rather then giving my money and not really seeing anything happen, being an armchair sportsman.

f*** you scared me for a second there, I haven't bought my lottery ticket yet.

Now that would be a real disaster!

no doubt both would be dead

actually i think the man survived (was rescued) and is in a coma, but they havent found the woman yet.

Interesting, with a jackpot so huge, I wonder what the cost would be to buy every single possible combination in the draw..

Which would ensure you win every division at least once.
I'm thinking it would be quite a few million dollars to do (and usually the cost would outweigh the reward) but in this case, hrmmm.
cbf working it out.

But there is no way 1 person is going to win, some many people are in on it there will be like 10 winners or something

slap69 you're a f***en loser.

Don't ever talk down to grunt ever again.

Finally heard from our friends Mum and her and b/f are ok...for now. Amazingly they spent a bit of the day on the beach and then went on a hike into the hills and thats where they were when the s*** hit.

They are ok, but they are staying up in the hills as there is some water and some food, but they will try and get out of Sri Lanka asap which will be no mean feat considering the chaos that is down at sea level, let alone trying to get a plane out of the place. But thankfully they are alive and amongst the lucky ones.

slap69 you're a f***en loser.

Don't ever talk down to grunt ever again.

Acetame will you shut the f*** up and just stop being a cock? Okay, thanks.

f***ing twat.

what he said ^^

do some more maths loki, you f***ing moron.

hey spidz, I don't even know the cost of one lotto ticket, why? because I've never bothered to get one...
Wanna klnow why? because I know the f***ing odds..

Hard to figure out the cost of something when you don't know the price to do it huh.
Not to mention I don't even know how many numbers you can choose from.

So shove that maths up your tight a******, c***.

last edited by Loki at 21:28:40 29/Dec/04

just for the record, it would cost roughly (well exactly) $4,072,530
to pick every single game once. (assuming 50 cents a game, which you can actualy get for less if you play systems, but we wont go into that) which would guarantee you winning the first division and every other division as well.

So going on that if you had the money it would'be worth it, assuming no one else wins, which they probably will.

Viper for the win.

hey loki

here's a tip, how about you shove your f***en gay torana up your f***en arse.

because I know the f***ing odds..

I don't even know how many numbers you can choose from.

Goodnight everyone.

Well it's already been up your ass so I don't want dirty seconds.

^ err, yes NF, as in, the odds of you winning division one are next to nothing, particularly winning it alone.

I don't know -exactly- how many numbers there are, but I know there's somewhere in the order of 40.

That makes the odds, from six choices out of 40, that ALL six come out, even out of 40... PRETTY s***.

In short, that means I can't -accurately- work out how much it would cost, so what would be the point.
Yes, that's right, I still know enough about the game to know that the odds are useless.

last edited by Loki at 21:44:33 29/Dec/04

yet you keep making bulls*** longwinded posts when you know the odds of everyone here not thinking you're a complete cockrocket are also useless.

some of u ppl are sick. 60,000+ ppl dead. have a heart. imagine if it was australia. whiped out complete cities. imagine if bam brisbane was gone. f*** that.

it will take years for these ppl to recover.

give lotto winings to them, why go in it then, just donate money yourself. its pretty much money thrown away cause ur not gonna get ur money back.

What about the news agency people who's livelihood is based on the sales of Lottery tickets, scratchies and the occasional newspaper.

i buy lotto tickets all the time, heck i wanna win, but id rather donate money than to have some of my prize automatically given away. tax man does that anyway.

Lottery winnings aren't taxed, fyi.

acetame shut the f*** up already with your macho manly wannabe s*** you f***ing fruit cake s*** kicker.

"Dont you ever do this, dont you ever question that, i'll smash you up". You're a f***ing wanker with chopp stick dick syndrome. You're on an ego trip ya f***wit. It's about time a f***stick like you Built a bridge and got over it.

With 70k worth of people dead, what did you expect the mood of the thread to be, exactly?

CNN are reporting the figure is at 80,000...this is just a devastating thing to happen, apparently a third of the dead are mainly children. I was watching BBC1 last night and they had this Geologist expert on saying that the force of the quake was equal to or in excess of a million Hiroshima A-bombs. I hope the world community can dig deep because its going to take Billions to recover from this disaster.

saw on the net somewhere atleast $13 billion damage

I'm not sure if this has been posted already, but some tsunami videos have been posted:

Once again Loki opens his mouth, forgets to close it, people start yawning.

i feel for thies people, but "As soon as the brown water started coming to the sheltered pool area, Mr Williams' mind returned to 8o'clock that morning when he felt the earth move.

"I saw the brown water coming and thought `a river's overflowed' . . . then I thought `Christ, that tremor'."

The next thing he saw was a stunned-looking couple being washed through a window while lying on their bed."

its hard not to smile...

news.com.au:


JET li, the Hong Kong action star of recent box office smash Hero, has survived the Asian tsunami disaster with nothing more than an injured foot.

The actor injured his foot as he protected his daughter from tsunami waves that flooded his hotel.

Forget the bickering and think more positivly - it'll do you a world of good. There i sno need to be talkin to each other like that.

this is a message from you mom.

Lottery winnings aren't taxed, fyi.

I thought that if you take all the cash in one big payment it is taxed, but if you take it over a span of years it is taxed less?


Also I would be awe struck if the Lotto organisers decided to give the 31 million to the relief effort, that would tripple? Australias initial donation...


Also arnt the chanes to win the lotto 1st div, assuming 40
numbers, 40*39*38*37*36*35= 2,763,633,600 to 1 ?

so true. one geologist said that u would have seen the earth shake on its axis if u were in space. and supposedly some of the islands in the area and the tip of sumatra have moved by atleast 20 metres.

I read in one of those chances to win things that it is around 1:4 million chance of winning or something.

edit: here
