Video of the vawe hitting Thai resort Phuket.

[xrp]

What a name for a resort... Phuk et!

Careful, my virus shield tells me that there's a Trojan Horse in that link!

[xrp]

Sounds like a false positive.

[shellshocked]

Pronounced "poo-ket".

[Bahbah]

my virus shield tells me that there's a Trojan Horse in that link!"

Thank you for the warning. If I am interested in a link, I generally wait a while and scroll down the thread for just this reason. Really appreciate it.

[Petronski]

That first syllable is POO, not fuh. Boy did I learn THAT ONE the hard way.

A SLOW site. I'll see if Norton detects a virus.

Lordy, it's s-l-o-w

OK, I scanned the DL'd wmv file with AVG, which says it's clean-- but my PC is behind a hardware firewall, too.

With that caution in mind- this is a previously unseen video, and rather chilling-- it was taken from an upper floor, which gradually flooded.

My Norton AV scanned it and shows nothing. [It was updated on 12/22.]

Mcafee here, updated yesterday. Nothing.

[backhoe]

Thank you both- I just ran RAV's online scan and it reports it clean, too.

It's worth watching, IMO. God have mercy.

bump to watch at home.

I was commenting to a friend that it looks like they are almost lookie-loos. Like a wave had come in a few moments before that wasn't bad, and they didn't fear this one.

[Clara Lou]

You're right, definitely worth watching, and I imagine that this video ranks pretty low on the horror scale compared to other locations. However, it was chilling to watch those two men who stood there too long and then were swept away. I hope they survived. I would think they did. Frightening, nonetheless.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Norton 2005 here....no problems detected.

[HMFIC]

I don't think they survived. The water kept coming and the junk was piling down on them. After a minute or two under and being bashed around, they'd likely be unconscious. In events like that, hanging around to watch is BAD BAD BAD! God help them.

It's a WMV file, so I didn't think it could contain a virus/trojan/spyware. Scanned my own comp - seems to be clean. (Often, Windows/Virus software will warn about *anything* being run straight off the internet.)

There are more videos at the same location:
