Survivors Tell Tales of Horror

Remembrance: Tears Flow for Tsunami Victims

- 

Tearful mourners prayed yesterday as ceremonies were held across Asia to remember the 220,000 people who were killed two decades ago when a tsunami hit coastlines around the Indian Ocean in one of the world's worst natural disasters.

A 9.1-magnitude earthquake off Indonesia's western tip on 26 December 2004 generated a series of waves as high as 30 meters that pummeled the coastline of 14 countries from Indonesia to Somalia.
