Look Into History on Instagram: "On December 26, 2004, one of the deadliest natural disasters in history struck. A massive undersea earthquake near Sumatra unleashed waves up to 30 meters high, tearing through Indonesia’s Aceh province. Over 167,000 lives were lost, half a million displaced, and entire towns like Lhoknga were wiped off the map. 🌊 The catastrophe sparked global relief efforts and the creation of modern tsunami warning systems — yet its devastation remains etched in memory. 🕯️ -
