(AP) ORT KLANG, PENANG, January 5 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – A 20-year-old Acehnese was stranded at sea for nine days, with no food or drink, a 115-year-old Centenarian great grandmother was on the beach when the giant waves hit, and a 24-year-old Acehnese woman stayed clinging on to a palm trunk for five days.
They all survived, unlike over 150,000 others that have so far been confirmed killed by the killer tidal waves that swept triggered by a 9.0 magnitude underwater earthquake – the world’s biggest earthquake in 40 years – which struck deep in the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra Island on December 26.
