National Geographic Channel to Premiere THE NEXT MEGA TSUNAMI, 12/26
Ten years ago, on December 26, 2004, a tsunami devastated 14 countries and took a quarter of a million lives - the deadliest recorded tsunami in history. Experts had no idea the area was at risk, and innocent victims were totally unprepared. The world was shocked by the disaster, and the magnitude of deaths and casualties prompted a worldwide humanitarian response. In the years following, the world continued to remember. A miniseries distributed by BBC and HBO, 'Tsunami: The Aftermath,' dramatized the events following the tsunami, and the Oscar-nominated film 'The Impossible' told the story of one family's incredible struggle to find each other after the wave struck.
