The tragic tsunami that struck the Indian Ocean
on December 26, 2004, killing or injuring many hundreds of thousands of
people and causing unthinkable damage, demonstrates all too clearly the
devastation that tsunamis can wreak.
But what are the precise scientific causes
of such tidal waves? What can we learn by studying
past tsunamis? And can future ones be adequately detected and effective
warnings sent out, so that such staggering loss of life may be averted?
In a special report shot within days of the
disaster, NOVA presents a clear explanation and analysis of the tragedy
on March 29, 2005 at 8pm ET on PBS, revealing exactly how these deadly
waves were triggered by one of the most powerful earthquakes recorded in
the past century.
Features on the new
website include:
