Educative but excludes the Latest Tsunami Attack, Mar 25 2005
By Himanshu Shangari - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tsunami:Killer Wave (DVD)
This movie tells about the origin and creation of killer Tsunami waves and about the destruction caused by them in the past on Hawai, Japan and some places of U.S. It tells about the cause of Tsunami i.e an under sea earthquake due to collision of tactonic plates and thus displacing a great amount of water that runs to the shores with superspeeds and causes destructions on coastal areas. The concept is good and well picturised. The only thing missing is that it does not have the coverage of latest Tsunami that hit Sri Lanka, India Etc.

Waste of money and time because 90 percent of the time, it shows the interviews of Tsunami survivors from all over the word, Mar 23 2012

This review is from: Tsunami:Killer Wave (DVD)
It's a waste of money and time because 90 percent of the time, this DVD shows the interviews of Tsunami survivors from all over the world. It spends about 10 minutes talking about the cause of the tsunamis and the measures taken by some countries to look out for the arrival of the next ones. However, it also states nobody knows these measures will save lives.
Also, as reviewer, Himanshu Shangari, said it missed recent ones that hit Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan in March 2011. It's because this DVD was released in 2005.
If I just wanted to know tsunami disasters happened in the past, I could have searched the Web for free.
