Asian Tidal Wave (serious thread)

[R2D2]

I have just been sent this photo of Phuket taken just before the wave hit.

The consequences are almost unthinkable arent they. Lets spare a thought for those involved and those who are delivering aid.


EDIT. PHOTO DELETED SEE BELOW FOR EXPLANATION.

Hi R2D2,
Is this a genuine photograph? It bares no relation to anything I have seen.

I know you woould not dream of posting anything that was not correct but that wave looks at the least the size of the 'skyscrapers'?
