Under paragraph heading Meulaboh, sentence reads: "Helicopter surveys showed entire settlements virtually destroyed with destruction within miles inland, and only some mosques left standing." This is a run-on sentence with redundant word usage. Change to "Helicopter surveys showed entire settlements destroyed. Destruction continued miles inland, with some mosques being the only buildings left standing. 50.239.26.178 (talk) 15:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a paragraph under the heading Tsunami, sub-heading Early Signs and Warnings, talking about how in some places the waterline receded and caused fatalities due to people picking up fish from the beach and being hit by the tsunami. This should be changed to include the reason for this, Positive and Negative parts of the tsunami wave. The waterline receded because the negative part of the wave hit it first.

Other Lives but Mine (French: D'autres vies que la mienne, published as Lives Other Than My Own in the United States) is a 2009 non-fiction book by the French writer Emmanuel Carrère that tells the stories of several people he had met. Carrère was vacationing in Sri Lanka at the time of the tsunami, and part of the book focuses on the aftermath and the tragedy of a French family who lost their four-year old daughter, Juliette. 2603:7000:6401:18AD:A979:D45B:AE7:E0F1 (talk) 04:15, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
