Amazing and sad.

Speechless. It's just a very surreal thing to look at those pics and know that seconds later the person that took the photos was dead.

mhhhhh... I'm not buying that story...

how/why did they saved and identifided a destroyed camera? in the middle of such a huge destruction? :|

#366038Post 4 of 162005-02-25

digital memory card with additional photos of the dead couple on it... sounds reasonable considering the casing of some cameras and no moving parts in the cars

again, a needle in a haystack...

So I guess you should track down the relatives of the named couple in the news story and find out. They have a nice lawsuit on their hands.

I'd have to say that the last photo in the series is probably not taken by a member of the living club, maybe they made it to a tree, but maybe not. I would guess the chance of pictures existing from natural disasters being 2 in every 175,000 drownings, something like that.

Things wash ashore, thats why the ocean is a bad place to hide a body.

You could be right, I could be wrong, but its really too late to bank off of the news sensation on the tsunami with still images, we already have video. video from high ground and safety and survivors.

I cant try and wrap my head around how many people are affected by disasters on this large of a scale, or how many times in history it has happened... its strange how the earth is still settling and cooling off, and how significantly we are always at the mercy of its little pops and cracks. No control over that, so I might as well dance.

might as well do the safety dance just to be safe :mrgreen:

I'm not looking at the ocean the same way I used to anymore.
