    Hi There, Do you own this footage/you took it? I’m a documentary producer working on a segment for our U.S. public television network and am interested in using it in our production. Can you email so we can discuss: kwhalen26@aol.com. Thank you.

    I know someone who was swimming on Lanta when this wave hit, then was almost killed by the second. Very lucky to have lived.

    Yes, there was a small wave and then a bigger one with a much stronger force behind it.

    It was lucky it was early in the morning given it was Boxing Day and that beach would of probably been far crowed than it was when it.
