Over 200,000 (some estimates say 250,000) people died in the Tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean.  Around the region ceremonies have been taking place to mark the event.  In Thailand alone (pictured above) it was estimated that around 8,000 perished.

Make you think how lucky we all are as we go about our daily lives.  Our problems pale into insignificance besides the devastation, destruction and loss of life caused by this one natural event
