Minhaz Haque (15 years old) collects salvageable materials from his destroyed house few meters away. There is nothing left of his house. Not even foundation. He said, Its like there was no house here ever. On the day tsunami stuck his village, it was Sunday, thus schools were close. He was fixing ceramic tiles on roof of a house in the neighbourhood when he saw water coming. He came down from the roof to try to run away, but water rose too quickly and he was forced to go back up on the roof. He saw how powerful it was and how it was destroying everything. After a while, even the house he was on collapsed and he fell down in the water. He caught a coconut tree and climbed up, but even that came down. He saw a fridge floating by and he climbed on top of it, but that too skunked. Finally he managed to find another building that had survived so far and took shelter on the roof. He saw dead bodies floating by and worried whether his family survived. When water went away, he came down and we

Nadishani (14 years old) plays badminton with a friend in her completely destroyed neighbourhood. Narrating her story Nadishani said, While I was playing outside in the morning with a friend, I heard lot of people saying run, water is coming, run. We just started running with everyone. We saw water coming and destroying things behind us, but we kept running. We took shelter in a temple. Later I found my parents too, but my younger sister Harshini was missing. We did not find her for another two days. Eventually she was found. A neighbour had taken her to her relatives place. There is no space in temple, thus we all live in open now. There are many people like us, so we don't feel alone. It is very difficult to sleep as there are too many mosquitoes. (photo)

Prashand (10 years old) cleans debris of his fallen house with his sister Madhushika (12). Thotagamuwa village near Hikkaduwa, a popular tourist town in Southern Sri Lanka. He stated, I went to market to buy some fish and vegetables with my mother. We were walking on the side of the road (Galle Road from Colombo to Galle). Traffic was unusually heavy. I thought there must be an accident on the road ahead. Suddenly there was a big panic. Everyone was shouting and running. We also got frighten and started running back towards home, but it was too late. As soon as we turned, we got hit by a huge wave and sank. I was in the water for a long time and could not come out. I thought I was dying. I was still under water when my mother grabbed me and pulled me out. I dont know how long we were in the water. We kept rolling. It was like diving in the sea, only waves were far stronger. (photo)

Oshani (8 years old) writes in her textbook. She narrated her story as, I was playing with my friends near our house when I heard people shout, Sea is coming. Run. At first I did not understand anything, but when I saw lot of people running, I too started running away from the sea. I took shelter in a little shop behind our house. People were still shouting, crying and running. No one from my family was in sight. I became very frighten and started to cry too. I could not find anyone from my family until evening (430pm). Finally I met them when I went to the temple. There were thousands of people there. We stayed in the temple for two days. When we returned, everything was destroyed as far as eyes could see. Our house was full of garbage. Everything was damaged, including my school books. Boossa village, about 8 km from Galle city. Sri Lanka. (photo)

Tsunami on Mars - Artist's view - Mars tsunami: More than three billion years ago, oceans existed on Mars. It is likely that the planet has experienced gigantic tsunamis caused by meteorite impacts on the planet - 3.5 billion years ago Mars had oceans. Huge Tsunamis probably occured most likely caused by meteors colliding with the planet

Megatsunami - Artist's view - While a tsunami is affected by the movements of the earth's crust, a megatsunami can be caused by a colossal collapse or the fall of an asteroid, causing powerful waves up to hundreds of metres in height. Megatsunami is an informal term to describe a tsunami that has initial wave heights that are much larger than normal tsunamis. Unlike usual tsunamis - which originate from tectonic activity and the raising or lowering of the sea floor - known megatsunamis have originated from a large scale landslide, collision, or volcanic eruption event

Collision between a comet and the Earth - Illustration - A collision between the Earth and a comet - The core of the comete has already hit the Earth, the trainees of the comet continue to strike the Earth. Tsunamis, shock waves; the impact of Chicxulub 65 million years ago may have looked like this. The impacting nucleus has landed in the ocean. There is an atmospheric shockwave, a massive tsunami and a hot, violent blast. Fragments of the comet's coma continue to fall. The Chicxulub Impact Event, some 65 million years ago may have looked something like this
