What is the miracle that survived the tsunami?

At the end of 2004, the once-in-a-century Indian Ocean tsunami mercilessly claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, but some lucky people miraculously survived. In their stories, there are not only lucky colors, but also wisdom, true feelings and perseverance, as well as the brilliance of human nature between life and death.

According to Thailand's "National Daily", when the tsunami swept through southern Thailand, 18 1 villagers in a local fishing village had fled to a temple on a high mountain, thus avoiding the disaster. Casare, a 65-year-old village head, said that it was an old adage left by their ancestors that saved the villagers-if the sea receded quickly, when it reappeared, the speed and flow of the sea would be exactly the same. According to experts' research, the rapid retreat of a large amount of seawater is indeed a sign that a tsunami is about to happen.

There is also a 10-year-old English girl who saved hundreds of lives in the tsunami with what she learned in class. Tilly was on vacation with her parents at the beach in Phuket, Thailand on the day of the tsunami. Just a few minutes before the tsunami arrived, Tilly's face suddenly showed fear. She ran to her mother and said, "Mom, we must leave the beach now. I think the tsunami is coming! " "She said she saw many bubbles on the beach, and then the waves suddenly came. This is exactly what the geography teacher once described as the initial situation of the tsunami caused by the earthquake. The teacher also said that it took about 10 minutes from the gradual rise of sea water to the tsunami. At first, the adults present were skeptical about the little girl's foresight, but Tilly insisted that everyone leave. Her warning spread like a spark on the beach, and all the tourists evacuated from the beach within a few minutes. When hundreds of tourists ran to safety, there was a huge sound of waves behind them-"Oh, my God! Tsunami, tsunami is really coming! " People cried in excitement and panic, scrambling to hug and kiss their savior Terry. On that day, this beach was the only place on the coastline of Phuket where no one was killed or injured.

At the same time, the sudden tsunami flooded the Maldivian holiday island, where Englishman Berton and his family were on vacation. At that time, he and his wife struggled to climb a palm tree and tied three young children on their backs with hotel bath towels to avoid the rough sea. Five hours later, exhausted, they were finally rescued by rescuers. Berton told the media: "At that time, the scene was terrible. The rising sea water swept away all the furniture and facilities of the hotel, and people around were shouting for help. " He is happy to say that his family can survive this time, which may be attributed to their experience in dealing with avalanches many times in the past.

On the beach of Crabbie Island, Thailand, the tsunami roared and tourists fled for their lives. But Karin, a Swedish mother in a white bikini, found that her three children were still having fun in the distant sea, so she ran to them regardless of death threats. According to Karin's later recollection, "People around me kept warning me to' leave the beach', but for the sake of the children, I could only turn a deaf ear. I must save my child. " Karin is only 20 meters away from the children. Suddenly a huge wave engulfed them all, and Karin rushed frantically against the roaring waves. The waves brought Karin to a highland. "At this time, I think my children must have died, and I completely collapsed." After about 10 minutes, Karin suddenly found her three children standing on a higher ground nearby. She was absolutely stunned. "I rushed to them excitedly and shouted:' Thank God! "You are still alive!" Our whole family hugged each other tightly. "

In andaman islands, a lucky one was born in the tsunami. When the tsunami happened, Roy and his wife, who were about to give birth, rushed out of the room and ran to the distant hillside. Soon, the wife felt bouts of abdominal pain. With the help of a local nurse and several women, a simple delivery room was set up. Some enthusiastic people also get clean clothes and hot water from too many chefs. A few hours later, just as the sea level was rising, the child was born. Three days later, with everyone's help, the mother and son were transferred from a small boat to a rescue warship. After seven hours of sea bumps, they were finally taken to the hospital in the capital of andaman islands. The lucky man was named "Tsunami".

In the natural disasters of this century, many wild animals sensed a disaster in advance and fled to the highlands to avoid robbery. In Kohli, a tourist resort in northern Phuket, Thailand, there is also a story of an elephant saving people. The elephant driver Sarangan and his wife led a group of eight elephants to the seaside, and a dozen foreign tourists sat on their backs. Suddenly, the elephant began to roar. Half an hour later, the elephant began to wail again. Then, the elephant began to disobey the command of the elephant driver and carried the frightened tourists to the mountains far from the beach. The elephants ran all the way to the top of the mountain. Surging sea water swept the shore 1 km area, and tourists following elephants were lucky to be rescued. Afterwards, people realized that when the elephant roared for the first time, an earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale was tearing the seabed near Sumatra Island in Indonesia.
