Palu Tsunami and Earthquake, Indonesia, September 28, 2018: Video and Photos
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, on September 28, 2018, sending a tsunami into Palu Bay and triggering liquefaction. Palu and surrounding districts suffered widespread destruction. In January 2019, provincial authorities put the final count at 4,340 dead and missing, most of them in Palu. Phone video recorded from an elevated position shows the tsunami sweeping through waterfront buildings near a large mosque. Soldiers and civilians collected bodies along the debris-strewn shore. Photographs show rows of covered bodies on a seafront road, flattened buildings, a beached ship and patients receiving hospital treatment outdoors. |

Re: Palu Tsunami and Earthquake, Indonesia, September 28, 2018: Video and Photos
Casualties are going to rise dramatically i'm afraid. At least 832 people have died after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake triggered tsunami waves as high as six metres (20 feet). There are fears thousands may have been killed by an earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia after the disaster's death toll rose to 832. The country's disaster mitigation agency warned the figure could climb higher as the affected area on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi is bigger than initially thought. Many people were reported trapped in the rubble of buildings brought down in the 7.5 magnitude earthquake which struck on Friday and triggered tsunami waves as high as six metres (20 feet). Almost all the deaths have been recorded in the coastal city of Palu, where a mass burial will be held. |

Honestly not surprised more have been killed. Their Earthquake and Tsunami warnings are horrifically shoddy at best. You'd think that after the 2004 boxing day earthquake and tsunami which was worse, they would have learned.. Poor bastards. |
