It appears that these people were standing at some sort of sea-wall watching the big waves when one slammed into and crested the wall.
From this picture it appears many may have lived. I pray this is so.

This whole sequence of photos is not from the Tsunami but actually from the Qian Tang Jiang River, in Hangzhou, China dated 2002.
