Banda Aceh: Before And After (Lab 10)



On December 26th, 2004, the day after Christmas, a massive earthquake created an equally massive tsunami that would decimate thousands of towns and villages around the Indian Ocean. Millions were killed or injured. One such place that was destroyed was Banda Aceh in Indonesia. Here are photographs of Banda Aceh before and after the tsunami. I have superimposed the outline of the coast before the tsunami over the after picture.
