Sri Lanka Tsunami, Colombo, December 26th 2004

We arrived in Wellawatte, Colombo, from London UK, about 3am so didnt wake till late, heard commotion outside and grabbed camera. The railway is about 4-5 metres above sea level. Didnt realise the significance till later watching TV world news. Gives me shivers because if we had gotten to Sri lanka a few days earlier we would have been down south in the worst hit areas. For a normal day view paste these coordinates into Google Earth fly to: 6 52'39.N 79 51'26.E See my vids for the rest.
