It began before sunrise. A faint rumble beneath the sea. Within seconds, that subtle vibration turned into one of the most violent seismic events in modern history—a 9.1-magnitude earthquake that would shake not just buildings, but the very soul of a nation.

Most people in the affected region were still asleep when the tremors hit. Alarms sounded. Lights flickered. The ground convulsed like a living thing. But for those near the coast, the earthquake was just the beginning.

In a quiet port city, residents ran into the streets. Some stared in confusion as the ocean retreated—boats grounded on the exposed seabed, fish flopping where waves used to be.

Then came a sound. Low and rising. A thunderous growl from the horizon.

And then it hit: a wall of water taller than streetlights, faster than any human could run. Over 10 meters high, the tsunami smashed through sea walls, swallowed buildings whole, and dragged everything inland—cars, houses, power lines, and people.
