[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim': [QB] Last official death toll was 59 300, tsunamis hitting right smack on late sunday morning when the beaches were filling with people. Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, East Africa and 5 other countries, I think. The swedish foreign agency spread misinformation during the early hours after the initial news yesterday, saying "all swedish tourists have been accounted for and are safe". About 1500 swedish tourists have since then been reported missing, 10 confirmed dead. Swedish, british and german tourists make out the majority of the foreigners in Thailand and Sri Lanka during the season. My neighbor who lives in the apartment over mine was in Sri Lanka, he was dragged out into the sea and ripped up against the debris, reefs and seashells, they eventually found him struggling to reach the shore and got help, I heard this from my father two hours ago. My other friend was also in Sri Lanka, I didn't hear from him until this morning, he said it was a close call but he'd been very fortunate and had managed to get further inland during the evacuation. He still has to go back to Colombo, the capital, to travel home again, I feel so sorry for all the misery he'll be seeing. I hope to God no one else here has any relatives or friends down there.
