From an e-mail I received today. Don't know if the photo's fake or not.
"The attached picture was forwarded by the head of the National Fire Sprinkler Association. He received it from someone who was in Phuket, Thailand at the time the tsunami hit. This perspective is much more amazing than what I have seen on TV coverage. Now I better understand the reason for the extent of the damage. The speed of the wave generated by the earthquake was estimated at 500 mph."
"picture was forwarded by the head of the National Fire Sprinkler Association"
This is as fake as the ken doll hostage. The perspective of the wave would make it twenty stories tall. I also question whether there is a national fire sprinkler association, but if there is I imagine they have a lot of time on their hands.
You can tell its fake by the mist overtaking the road, bad photoshop.
