"These photographs are yet another examples of any images depicting
large waves being grabbed and passed around as "real photographs" of
the Indian Ocean tsunami. These pictures were purportedly taken in
Thailand in December 2004, but they actually date from 2002 and depict
not a tsunami, but a tidal bore (unusually high tides resulting in
waters flowing upstream at high speeds) on the Qian Tang Jiang River,
in Hangzhou, China."
