YOU know I might agree with you BUT in this country we need to see the effects so we can react with our money, IF I dont see it I dont believe it ,look at the un and iraq all that money, and not one photo of where it was going ,fool us once not forever and ever.
That baby looks alive to me. A drowning victim has an obvious look to it.
my god
what was that prayer against sudden death ?
OMG! the horror. Mother nature puts Osama in perspective.
I'm afraid those are grimaces. Probably out at the seawall watching the waves on a Sunday with their families...and were at first excited to see a really big one, realizing only too late that it was far, far too big.
Devastating....
People react to sudden events the way they react. A smile is often a reaction to a tense situation. They are not posing and they don't necessarily decide they should have looks of terror on their faces. If such an event hits who knows how I'll look or what I'll think and do.
I noticed that too but I bet that they don't realize the enormity of the situation, and why would they? Who would expect to be suddenly swallowed up by the ocean? It's unthinkable.
So sad.
Words fail me.
Thanks for the post. There is another map, like this world map, that was on CNN the other night. It showed the tsunami continuing all the way over to Africa. Frightening...
That's a very dramatic photo too, but from the series posted, I got the impression these people went out to *watch* the wave come in. I'm less overwhelmed by the horror of the scene than by the stupidity of the assembled people, if that is the case.
Unreal.......
Ohhhh. The children.
Heartbreaking
Jeff,
This photo reminds me of the old Ten Commandments movie with the parting of the Red Sea . . . excepts the results are the extreme opposite.
At least when I see it, they usually say, "we want to warn you, these pictures are graphic."
That is enough for me. They should be showing the pictures.
wow... the photo with the tiny hand holding the number hits like a hammer...wow...prayers out.
Stomach turning and ghoulish, but then that's typical of Olbermann.
