Picture taken in Banda Aceh, 2006, two years after the tsunami.

The flood rolled from the sea richt through this building, knocking out the walls.

The inhabitants who were inside could not have survived the collapsing walls.
The picture shows four important lessons:

1. Buildings that are realised close to the shore and on flat lowland terrrain, will be subject to tsunami waves.

2. When the walls are not adequately anchored to the support structure, they will be knocked out of their frame.

3. Because of the poor connection, the column remained upright and the upper storey survived the impact.

4. When the walls would have been properly connected, the walls would have pulld the columns and the upper storey down.
