I was once again disappointed with a tsunami documentary which lacked much actual film footage. Instead, the program is padded with close-ups of ordinary beach waves, better suited for a surfing documentary. This is not only disappointing, but scientifically inaccurate, since tsunami rarely appear as conventional waves, but usually as tumultuous floods or walls of water. I continue to be puzzled at the seeming dearth of video documentation of this fascinating natural phenomena. After all, National Geographic sends intrepid photgraphers to the rims of volcanoes, chasing tornadoes, and flying into hurricanes. There are warning systems that can predict potential landfall for tsunami, so why don't scientists wait for them in helicopters with video cameras? But for an organization like National Geographic to depict tsunami as large surfing waves is surprising and misinforming.

This film of the Killer Wave should be viewed by many people to understand the powers that are shared by the Tsunami before one day it's to late and you become a victim of Mother Natures worst and most fatal disaster.Hearing about it's power,speed,and distruction means nothing.You have to See it to Believe it.
