The recent Asian Tsunami tragedy is unprecedented in modern history and of truly Biblical proportions. Thanks to technology, never in the history of mankind has the world witnessed such an epic event.
Like most of you, Blog Bloke has been doing his bit to raise awareness of the full scope of this tragedy and to aid the victims. Here you will find a collage of stunning videos and photos of the killer tsunami plus ways that we bloggers can help.
Tsunami Disaster: How You can Help
Global aid organizations have launched urgent appeals for donations to help survivors of Sunday's Indian Ocean earthquake disaster
More than 140,000 people are confirmed killed by the waves and millions more are homeless. Many governments and organizations - including the US, Canada, Australia, the EU and UN are sending aid. The UN has warned that supplies are urgently needed to support the survivors and to try and prevent disease which could double the death toll. More info can be found at BBC News and a list of organizations where you can give aid.

Tsunami Earthquake: Natural or Created?
Journalist Andrew Limburg for Independent Media TV reports a series of events that led up to the 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Indonesia which suggests that it could have been man-made.
"This all could be an enormous coincidence, but one must look at the information and choose for themselves whether there is anything to it. What is interesting about this is that the same place where the whale beachings have been taking place over the last 30 days is the same general area where the 8.1 Australian earthquake took place, and this is the same area where they are doing these seismic tests. Then 2 days after the Australian tectonic plate shifted, the 9.0 earthquake shook the coast of Indonesia."
