Thailand's royal family also were among the grieving. The Thai-American grandson of King Bhumipol Adulyadej, Poom Jensen, 21, was reportedly jet skiing when the tidal wave struck Phuket.Okay, not to make light of this horrible event (reading what happened to these people is heartbreaking), but I'll bite on this - how do you pronounce "Phuket"?

Well, celebrities like her will bring more attention to this tragic event. The more media coverage the more people will know, and hopefully the more they will help.

Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was on holiday in Sri Lanka's pristine south one of the areas most devastated by tsunamis.Now I wonder if he was rescued before it hit or after it hit?

For me it helps to put more of a face on the tragedy to hear about how it affected people about whom I know a little. I can't fathom tens of thousands of dead strangers and all the suffering they went through, and their survivors are now experiencing. But it helps me to relate a little bit when it involves some whose names I've heard or whose work has had an impact on my life.
