Beach
side memorials, moments of silence, and religious services are planned
across Asia on Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Indian Ocean
tsunami that killed at least 220,000 people in 2004.
The gigantic wave stuck a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean rim. It destroyed entire coastal communities, wiped out families and crashed over tourist-filled beaches the morning after Christmas.
