"Examines the unprecedented devastation wrought by the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed over 220,000 people and destroyed hundreds of towns and villages. Investigates the precise scientific causes of such catastrophes."@en
"This program examines the impact and devastation caused by one of the greatest - if not the greatest - natural disaster of modern times, that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people and left thousands displaced and homeless. It investigates the scientific causes of the tsunami and whether other such disasters can be predicted, thus averting such loss of life."@en

"Examines the impact and devestation caused by one of the greatest natural disasters of modern times. The momentous and tragic events in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, have demonstrated all too clearly the devestation that earthquakes and the subsequent tsunamis can bring about. Asks what the precise scientific causes of these catastrophes are. Can they be predicted and thus the loss of life averted? Investigates what caused the tsunami that destroyed hundreds of towns and villages and killed over 220 000 people. It also asks if it could happen again."@en

""NOVA tells the minute-by-minute story of the 2004 tsunami, featuring the testimony of lucky survivors and gripping eyewitness video footage. In an authoritative look at tsunami science, NOVA presents the first in-depth exploration of what made the waves so destructive. And with the help of a massive wave tank, scientists assess the risk that a similar (or even bigger) catastrophe might one day strike the U.S. coastline"--Container."@en
