Today in History

One year ago on today, Tsunami -- a natural disaster caused by the earthquake beneath the ocean -- hit the coast of Aceh, Sri Lanka, Phuket Island etc. The monstrous wave destroyed everything near the seaside and caused 200,000 ++ of casualties. The damages it brought were prolonged -- even until today. Many were still homeless.

Today, many places all over the world are mourning over the disaster's anniversary, and people are grieving over their loved one who had died. Refer Mourners mark tsunami anniversary for details.

Let's mourn 1 minute in loving memory of the dead. May them rest in peace.
