Tsunami what happened? What caused burns and what fires where people talking about in Tsunami ? They say that what killed people wasnt water but fire !

I have also read something about a scalding Tsunami:
…black scalding waves that gave some tsunami survivors third degree burns – they say that in certain areas the magma from the underground volcano which caused the earthquake which caused the tsunami heated the water above 100ºC

But I need to look for a link which will explain it.


Here is a nice link which talks a lot about the problems caused by this disaster and the aid program set up to help.

And here%26#039;s a link to a geology page which explain the mechanics behind a Tsunami.
