It would be horrible if theywere real even though that is at least probably similar to what happened.

Personally, I believe those to be real.

Hmmm... I guess I better start checking out my emails again. I used to check lots of them. I've slacked up lately. Usually I have been able to tell fantasy from reality. In this case they aren't fakes. They are just not of the event they are being advertised for.

People are smiling in this one.

[Black_Magic]

most look real but I notice a couple of smiles on the one too. Its real though because it a blow up of one of the others. and the others are real.

Alot of beaches along the indian ocean are legendary for their huge waves. They bring lots of fish and junk n stuff. Sometimes the waves are caused my earthquakes because of the plates in the ocean, but arent worthy of "tsunami" status. Technically they are, but they wont kill. It's like standin on the bridge at Water World. Cousin says she wishes she had a surf board out there sometimes. Other times, their caused by storms and what not. See how the sky is grey in the background? That proves it wasn't the tsunami pictures because when that happened it was the clearest bluest day. They say almost a perfect day. Plus, when the water washed on shore, it was still blue, the big wave started to fold over 20 feet away from the shore/land line. Finally, any pictures with people in them wouldnt be accurate. The waves happened just about instantly. The water sucked away from the shore then blam. The water drains back into the ocean slowly taking things with it, like the guy they found in the middle of the ocean yesterday.

Theres the signs to look for.

-Clear Blue Sky
-Blue Water
-Nothing out of the ordinary (people just livin life)
-No smiles. lol
