Now I'm blanking on the names of the reality TV famous gay guy and his boyfriend, who were the subject of dozens of DL threads after the tragedy. I recall the boyfriend drowned and the C-list famous gay guy went on TV afterward talking about it.

One of the more cynical stories from this dreadful event was the "Sophie's Choice of the Tsunami," the Australian woman (a.k.a. "Tsunami Mum") who had to choose which one of her kids to save from the monster wave (spoiler alert: they both lived).
While obviously a relief that the kids lived, and probably not the first/only time people have been forced to think fast in a bad situation with unknowable consequences, who the hell would willingly put a story like that out there?
"BTW, Junior, faced with a choice of whether to save you or your brother--guess who I picked?"

This was beyond imagining. The number of dead and injured really was staggering.

The film "The Impossible" depicts this tragic event. Naomi Watts looking gorgeous but beaten up. Tom Holland playing one of her sons. It's fierce.

Nate's BF came across like an insta whore anyway. If it wasn't the Tsunami would have been Covid or Monkeypox. Either way Nate would have profited from it.

Just started watching the Netflix series on the Tsunami with new video and interviews with survivors. I can;t believe people went through that
