A remarkable story of survival on an island near the epicenter. The water came in twice, once 40 feet high and once fifty. These people seem remarkably blessed. They got a fishing boat to the main island, then an airplane out.

Has anyone any info on the fate of the divers in Emeral Cave?

Yes, money will do that.

I'm thinking there may be horrific casualty figures from Sumatra's north-west coast and islands.
People have posted aerial photos of Meulabon(sp), apparently wiped out but not yet seen anything informative about Simeulue island etc, they were awfully close to the epicenter.

"Everything was flattened. It was like a nuclear bomb had hit the place," said Howard, a former officer with the 6th Gurkha Rifles. "I've seen bodies before but nothing by like this. We lost count. The destruction was of Biblical proportions." And great earthquakes shall be in divers places...
Yikes, no kidding!

Who were the other two people besides Howard and Pasquier?

Tragic pictures of the reality of the disaster. Takew a hard look at the fore ground of the first one. The second, on another island, is the force that caused it.
