On December 26, 2004, at 7:59 a.m. local time, an undersea section of
the Earth's crust slipped along a 700-mile-long fault off the coast of
Sumatra, setting in motion a train of destructive waves called tsunamis
that left well over 250,000 people dead or missing. In "Wave That Shook
the World," NOVA traces exactly what happened, and why. The program
tells the minute-by-minute story of the 2004 tsunami, featuring video
footage, eyewitness interviews, and scientific analysis of the onrushing
waves that spread for 3,000 miles around the Indian Ocean basin.
