2022 Tsunami

---

The virus was able to mutate itself

originating from man-made technology.

But today our world faces another crisis;

a natural disaster of catastrophic proportions.

We have brought this upon ourselves

through eons of neglecting the environment.

From the past till present,

we've continued to enjoy technology.

We indulge ourselves with modern gadgets.

But we forget that we're destroying

the natural environment.

Mother Nature is finally taking revenge

on what we have done to the planet.

Extreme temperature changes

have wrought havoc on the ozone layer

causing hurricanes, cyclones,

snowstorms, disasters,

and volcanic eruptions

Movement of the earth's crust

is causing earthquakes and tsunamis.

We represent various countries worldwide

who understand the significance of this crisis

which could bring alarming consequences.

We could already be too late.

But at the very least, we should be proud

of our participation in implementing

this treaty at an international level.

The 30-year-old Kyoto Protocol

aims to protect the environment and mankind.

Once again, I beg those of you

who haven't yet signed this treaty

to fully understand the potential disasters

that may befall our world by out very hands.

- What's going on?

- Earthquake! Get out of here.

It's an earthquake.

Please leave the building, sir.

What about everyone else?

I'll take care of them.

- Run!

- This way. Hurry!

Shouldn't the National Disaster

Warning Centre

have informed you of

this incident beforehand?

They told me frequent

earthquakes will occur

and could effect all of our dams.

There's even a risk of a giant Tsunami.

But who would believe that? Would you?

Mr. Prime Minister.

Thailand is unlikely to have

an earthquake or volcanic eruption.

What makes our country so special?

If the world ends,

we'll be on the same planet

as everyone else.

Don't try to find exceptions.

Welcome aboard the Seafdec

research vessel, Dr. Siam.

Thank you Commander.

I'm disturbed to hear of this

underwater volcano.

- Please come to our meeting room.

- Good idea.

We found an underwater

volcano in this area

with an unusually high flow rate.

I never paid much interest to

this volcano before

but now I see it grow every day

and it continues to release heat.

Perhaps it was caused by the eruptions

of the Philippines' Pinatubo

or Indonesia's Krakatau which is also

expected to have an eruption.

In 2008, I thought this volcano

would never erupt.

But now I think it's a 51% likelihood.

Krakatau and Pinatubo were bad enough.

Now we've got this one to worry about.

It's like a cannon in the Gulf of Thailand

aimed straight at us, Sir.

That's why I had to see it with my own eyes.

Come on.

Want some water?

Me first.

Here. Hold this.

Follow me.

Oh Ruus.

Daddy... Mommy... Help me!

Phu...

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy... Mommy... Help me!

- Help me out buddy.

- Daddy!

- Daddy... Mommy... Help me!

-Hold on to me, son.

Phu... What happened?

It's OK, I'm alright.

Why are you lying on the ground?

I must have fallen asleep.

You're full of crap.

If we didn't find you, a tiger would have.

How did you two find me?

You were screaming so loud.

I'd have to be deaf not to hear you.

I'm glad you're here.

Let me show you something.

I found these layers of rock on the cliff.

This is evidence of the 2 past Tsunamis.

When do you think it happened?

I sent samples to Tokyo early last month.

They confirmed what other

labs had discovered.

The first occurrence was 1,800 years ago.

The second was about 900 years ago.

Are you saying that it occurs every 900 years?

Yes, but it might occur sooner

or later than usual.

The water level is unusually low.

I decided to examine it a few days ago.

The river banks have significant erosion.

I'd say about 5 - 10 meters.

What do you think happened?

It might have something to do

with ocean currents.

Grandpa told me the earth is relieving stress

and releasing concentrated heat rays.

The earth's crust will also start to move.

Does that mean an earthquake?

Don't jump to conclusions yet.

The doctor is aware of all the facts.

He's gathering more data from satellites.

I'm sure he'll find something.

The animals are also starting to migrate.

I've noticed it happening for months now.

I'll report these developments to him myself.

Maybe you should get some rest first.

Yes, I think you should see a doctor.

I'd rather not.

I hate needles and pills.

Look closely at the Indian Ocean plate.

It's constantly shifting under our own plate.

The friction has a great impact

on this volcano.

Doctor, the heat rays are very concentrated.

Many points are flexing

with the Eurasian plate.

Are any other volcanoes reacting?

We're monitoring Krakatau and Pinatubo.

This could be the most violent

eruption in 120 years.

Indonesia is monitoring activity in 3 volcanoes.

We'll have to help them.

We're all born on the same planet.

I'm going to the underwater lab.

- Will you come with me?

-Yes, Doctor.

Many plates are on

the brink of an earthquake.

Could this cause another

earthquake in the Indian ocean?

That's exactly what I fear.

Perhaps the 2004 Tsunami

was just a beginning.

Will there be another great catastrophe?

Only God can answer that question.

Don't forget, no technology

can fully predict earthquakes.

That's why we built this

monitoring station in the first place.

We'll stay at the research site tonight.

We'll go to the warning centre

by boat tomorrow.

We should be able to help Grandpa.

The doctor is worried about you.

He wants you to stay on the ship.

When my time comes,

it won't matter where I am.

I might see you at the centre tomorrow then.

That would be good.

Grandpa always asks about you.

Hey Ruus!

What's wrong with you?

What are you afraid of? There's no snake.

An earthquake?

How did you know? You're a clever boy.

It's good you've both arrived.

You can take over from

the others who haven't slept for days.

We're lucky the Seafdec

is anchored there for 7 days.

- In Krakatau?

- In Aceh.

That same location had

an earthquake in 2004.

We have only 1 hour to evacuate the people.

Doctor, it's in the exact same location.

It's as if it were a copy.

I'll inform the Prime Minister immediately.

Alert all coastal warning centers now.

You gave us 2 false alarms so far.

How confident are you this time?

I'm on the way to a rally in the Northeast.

It's the largest voter base for my party.

If I make any wrong decisions now,

my position and political party

will be put in jeopardy.

But if you're confident,

I'll put the disaster relief centers on high alert.

A state of emergency has been announced

to prepare for a possible

earthquake and Tsunami.

An aftershock of 5.6 Richter hit at 08.17 hrs.

But we have no reports of a Tsunami yet.

A Tsunami travels at speeds

of 900 km per hour.

The wave height starts at roughly 1 meter.

Our underwater station should detect it.

All the warning alarms have been triggered.
