Tsunami 2022 Page #3

---

I should resign from my reporter job

and work as a volunteer.

It looks like fun on the outside

but our work is actually quite stressful.

We worry a lot about what's

happening to the world.

Where have all the fish gone?

"Wait on the boat, don't go in the water."

I'll be back soon.

Let's get out of here.

Where are you going so early?

I'm not finished yet.

Don't you have a meeting today sir?

Who cares?

A political party is the same as a company.

"As the owner, I can work whenever I like."

How about another round?

Don't be so serious.

The world isn't going to end today.

We have more exciting things to do.

"Obey me and I'll make you

successful, understand?"

Sure.

Can you show us where

the sea bed broke apart?

We need to examine it.

Sure.

Are you sure you saw

the earth split underwater?

Positive.

I go diving everywhere possible.

"7 years ago, a Tsunami

hit the rocks so we could see it."

"But this time,

it's a totally different location."

"With a volunteer like you,

we aren't groping in the dark anymore."

"I'm an islander, I make a living in the sea,

I love the sea."

I can't let anything happen

to the ocean either.

But everyone can see now

that all the fish are gone.

Do we have to dive underwater

to take pictures of the separation?

Both of you can join us if you wish.

We'd love to. it's our pleasure.

Leave.

The movement of earth's

crust on 26th Dec. 2004

triggered ongoing motion

in the tectonic plates.

"Now 17 years later,

it has created another underwater volcano."

Will it erupt again?

"It may or may not erupt,

nobody knows for sure."

The smoke from Krakatau is above Bangkok

and it's getting thicker.

"Yes, we're seeing dramatic climate change,"

especially when compared with 20 years ago.

Hey!

You've got a lot of nerve

to trespass onto my grounds.

Are you a police informant?

Looking for information?

Just because you're rich

doesn't make you honest.

Actually you're all drug dealers.

"I sell drugs, I'm power crazy,

and I'm a bastard."

But I'm rich. Got a problem with that?

Do you have a problem with me?

What do you want? What do you want?

Got a problem?

Rawai!

Rawai!

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

How is Rawai?

You should see for yourself.

Is he in serious condition?

What happened? Who did it?

That pack of dogs.

It's that Chartrat right?

Take us to see Rawai.

Sure.

Come on.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

32 stitches and you say you're fine?

I'm feel so sad.

"I was born here,

my parents were born here."

"But after only 2 years,

they drive us away like dogs."

Did you report it to police yet?

Police?

Who would dare arrest a politician's son?

Why does Thai society fear

and respect him so much?

A millionaire's son is born

with the upper hand.

"Besides, his father is powerful too."

They're either very good or downright rotten.

The rich are always right

and the poor are always wrong.

"Today's skyscrapers, superhighways,

and sky trains"

failed to solve any of mankind's problems.

Then who can fix it?

Something divine or perhaps Mother Nature

can answer those questions

or solve our problems.

I hope you don't mean another Tsunami.

"If our sonar is accurate,"

we're on the brink of

an inevitable and severe disaster.

What do you mean?

Multiple volcanoes will erupt.

There will be a powerful earthquake

or perhaps a Tsunami higher

than we could ever comprehend.

What's the likelihood of

this actually happening?

10 or 20 percent?

Fifty-fifty.

What should we do?

I'm making this vessel change course.

I'll send you to shore.

"At this time, Dr. Siam and

the warning stations"

need our urgent assistance.

And what about you?

"After I send you to shore,"

I'll further examine

the abnormalities on the ocean bed.

"Cindy, Phi Phi. I finally found you."

What's the matter? You look frightened.

It's urgent. We have to go to

the warning station.

What is it? We've come on

shore to see Grandpa.

Then let's hurry to see the doctor.

Quickly.

I need to know exactly how

serious the situation is.

Krakatau and other volcanoes

which have been dormant for 140 years

may violently erupt once again.

There's a 70 percent likelihood.

I already know about the volcanoes.

I need data about underwater volcano

activity along the Vietnam peninsula.

These 2 volcanoes have been

reacting for 50 years.

"At present, Krakatau, Pinatubo,"

and the underwater volcanoes

along the Vietnam peninsula

have been pressured by

the moving tectonic plates.

This could mean a simultaneous

eruption at any time.

How will this impact our country?

It will create a giant Tsunami

headed straight toward the Gulf of Thailand.

"Yes, waters in the Gulf are shallow."

"As the Tsunami sweeps in,

it will escalate in size."

It could reach over 30 meters

by the time it reaches Phra Padang.

I need your advice now.

"Evacuate residents from along the Gulf, "

especially Bangkok.

Move them to higher ground

as soon as possible.

The evacuation of 15 million

people is no small task.

You have no other choice.

The Philippines' Pinatubo

and Indonesia's Krakatau

have been spewing smoke for 6 weeks now.

The smoke has also been growing thicker

at 12000 meters or 12 km above sea level.

This natural phenomena

has caused southwest winds

to carry the volcanic smoke

into ASEAN countries

especially into southern Thailand

where thick smoke has reduced

visibility to a mere 100 meters.

"As you are watching this, the smoke

has also covered Bangkok."

It's a thin layer

but the 15 million residents of Bangkok

are alarmed at this recent development.

People are wearing raincoats

to avoid the ashes

and masks to avoid inhalation of toxic gases.

People are beginning to have

doubts and rumors

are circulating about

a possible violent earthquake

that would cause buildings

and dams to collapse.

What's even more frightening

is the possibility of giant Tsu

"after the 26th Dec. 2004

incident, 17 years ago."

The Prime Minister has now arrived

at government house.

May I ask you a few questions sir?

Will there be a giant Tsunami?

Will there be a giant Tsunami?

Will there be a giant Tsunami?

I can't answer that question yet.

Why have you summoned Dr. Siam?

Just to ask for his advice.

What has caused such violent

natural phenomena?

That's a tough question.

We've been on this Earth

for millions of years

but we know this planet less

than we know Mars.

The problem may have been

caused by you and me

or those who don't appreciate

our planet enough.

How do you plan to handle this catastrophe?

"Firstly, I've converted the 4 regional armies"

into a National Disaster Relief Force

to protect the lives and

assets of our population

to the best of their ability.

How do you think we'll emerge

from the violent rage of Mother Nature?

I can only suggest we accept it.

But I'll do my best to solve this problem.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Prime Minister...

How serious do you think

the 13 hurricanes that hit America were?
