Indonesia: Tsunami Has Now Claimed 400+ Lives
- 6 years ago
A tsunami triggered by a volcanic eruption hit the two most-populous Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra on December 22.
The waves killed more than 400 people and injured more than 1,400.
This one was thought to have occurred after the Anak Krakatau volcanic island erupted and partially collapsed into the sea, sending waves in the Sunda Strait — up to 10 feet — without warning.
