Tsunami: Destruction
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
Xand van Tulleken and Raksha Dave pick up the story 90 minutes after the earthquake that caused the deadly wave. The tsunami had already hit Indonesia and Thailand, but now a second wave was heading toward tourist hotspots on the Thai coast. Back in the UK, it was the middle of the night, but already the news wires were beginning to carry information about the unfolding disaster. Associated Press newsman Sandy McIntyre explains what happened, and describes how news gathering was changed for ever
Tsunami: Destruction airs on Channel 5 HD at 3:00 AM, Friday 31 January. (Subtitles, repeat.)
