This is the woman severely injured in the Thailand tsunami?
Yep, that’s her......
“Nemcova was at Khao Lak, Thailand with her main photographer and then-fiancé, Simon Atlee when the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck.[citation needed] Atlee drowned and Nemcova suffered a broken pelvis and serious internal injuries, but she managed to hold on to a palm tree for eight hours until she was rescued by Thai civilians and airlifted to an inland hospital nearby.”
