tsunami victims' photos.

John and Jackie Knill of Vancouver, British Columbia, pose at a resort in Khao Lak, Thailand, on December 12, 2004. The couple were killed when the December 26 tsunami struck the resort. Their digital camera was found, and though the camera was destroyed, searchers were able to recover photos of the tsunami from its memory card.

the last two photos of the series in particular give you a pretty spectacular and terrifying glimpse into what a monster this thing was.
