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.
This program tells the minute-by-minute story of the 2004 tsunami,
featuring video footage and scientific analysis of the onrushing
waves that spread for 3,000 miles around the Indian Ocean basin.
