Tsunami in 2004 "Not the first"

Hi everyone. I believe all would remember the worst memories of the huge natural disaster that took away more than hundred thousand people and leaving more than an equal number in the streets. Hope everyone got it. It is the Tsunami which shacked the islands of Indonesia and coasts of east India.

Many would have wondered that this type of disaster in a new one and the word tsunami would be new to their ears. But researches have revealed that this type of major disaster have happened before.

A research team was deployed and were working in the post tsunami struck areas. Usually when a major tsunami hits a shore it leaves a layer of soil in the attacked areas. The scientists on examining those lands found a number of such layers and have concluded that there had been a major attack some 600 to 700 years ago.

Its really frightening to think of those bitter memories. Let us hope that this never happen again. May God save us........

yes, i believe tsunami is happened before, since tsunami is also natural disaster like hurricane or flood. tsunami happened because an earthquake, and since earthquake is always happen, i think it will happen again. that's why, now in Hindia Ocean there are many devices setted up for an early precautions for tsunami...
