Indonesian village vanishes in wake of tsunami

Tsunami kills 30 in one village

 

Saluhu stares at the mass grave where his youngest son is buried. He struggles to comprehend the split second that changed his life forever. He relives the moment he started to run inland with his family after feeling Monday's earthquake and hearing the distant roar of the tsunami.
"My youngest son's hand slipped out of my wife's hand when the tsunami hit us. It just slipped," Saluhu says. "We didn't know where he was. We couldn't see a thing -- it was pitch black."
Nine-year-old Warisman is one of 30 victims in the village of Monai on the Indonesian island of South Pagai, one of the areas worst hit by the tsunami.
