tsunami but about a flood that reached up into the mountains you know I was trying to run away from the water by going up stone stairs and climbing trees if you go in the dream it's only me running I

Reddit Comments

I know a lot of people on reddit like to contemplate what it would look like if the technology we have now was there for events like 9/11 and the Sumatra tsunami. I think this event is a great example of what it’s like considering there were ample amount of footage you could find on YouTube after the tsunami hit. I remember one day watching nothing but footage for 3 hours, and each video I watched was a different shot of the tsunami. Truly some amazing/surreal stuff.
