I read a news article earlier which had this short statement from Pak Borinte from Pagai island, it's really sad...
'About 10 minutes after the quake we heard a loud, thunderous sound. We went outside and saw the wave coming. We tried to run away to higher ground but the wave was much quicker than us. Our house, which is about 50 metres from the sea, was destroyed. Most houses in the village were destroyed. My wife and three children died as they were swept away. Their bodies were found the next day,' he said. 'I'm so sorry that I couldn't save my wife and children as I panicked and didn't know what to do. I was swept away as well but I managed to survive by holding onto a wooden plank.'
