That wasn't the tsunami, although it was posted on the Net at the time as a hoax (in other words, designed to make people think it was the tsunami). That photo was taken in Hangzhou, China, in 2002, of a tidal bore (unusually high tides resulting in waters flowing upstream at high speeds) on the Qian Tang Jiang River. No one was actually killed in that event.
