Tsunami Strikes Indonesia Without Warning


A tsunami strikes the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra following an underwater landslide believed caused by an erupting volcano. Shocking vision has emerged from Indonesia showing the moment a massive wall of water swept away a rock band while they performed on stage. The group Seventeen was in the middle of a concert at a utility company’s end-of-year celebrations when the five-metre tsunami hit. At least 280 people have been killed and another 843 injured, with widespread destruction across the Sunda Strait region. Initial indications are that the tsunami was triggered by an undersea landslide, caused by the eruption of Krakatoa volcano late on Saturday night local time. In videos shared on social media, Seventeen can be seen dancing around on a stage with a crowd of fans looking on, before the band and their equipment are washed away.
