The water, which came about 15 minutes after a massive undersea quake rocked the area, turned the street into a river which carried planks, mattresses, cars, appliances and uprooted trees, and sent people scampering up the sides of buildings.

He was warned of the impending disaster by his brother, at a location along the coast which had already been hit. Charoenkul had time to get his camera and film from the third floor of his building. He shouted at the people on the beach to warn them, telling them to run, but they could not hear. Immediately after the waves struck, bodies and debris could be seen on the shore.
