Elephants save Thai tourists from tsunami

#10  I kinda get a kick out of those Thai 'Phants that have been robbing the produce trucks on the highways up-country, heh. One or two block the highway and, when a truck full of juicy stuff comes along, the signal is sent (They're communicating! Lol!) and their confederates come out of the brush, prevent the truck's escape, and loot it. The Thais revere them, but I think this serves as an editorial comment on the menu being offered, lol!

The Thai word (shown phonetically, of course)is "chahng" - said in a high tone.

#2  Elephants rock! Humans so often underestimate the instinct-based intelligence of animals. I think elephants should run the UN.

the huge beasts used their trunks to pluck the foreigners from the ground and deposit them on their backs
Cool!
The tsunami drove up to 1 km (1,000 yards) inshore from the gently sloping beach
Good God Almighty! That's just unimaginable. No wonder so many people died.
