麻豆约拍

Anns a' chiad phr貌gram de shreath 霉r, tha Iain Moireasdan a' c貌mhradh ris an fhear-naidheachd, Torcuil Crichton, mun sgrios a chunnaic e ann an Sri Lanka agus ann an Indon矛sia 's e ag obair dhan Sunday Herald 脿s d猫idh Tsunami a' Chuain 脤nnseanaich ann an 2004.

Chaill timcheall air 230,000 am beatha nuair a thachair aon de na crithean-talmhainn as motha riamh far chosta Shumatra ann an Iondon矛sia. Dh'adhbhraich seo suailean m貌ra a sgrios sg矛rean ann an 14 d霉thchannan.

B' iad Sri Lanka agus Indon矛sia dh脿 de na d霉thchannan a bu mhotha a dh'fhulang. Tha Torcuil a' toirt dealbh air mar a chaidh bailtean iasgaich air costa Sri Lanka a mhilleadh, agus mar a bha cuirp is spr霉illeach air an sgaoileadh fad is farsaing. Ach bha d貌chas ann cuideachd le st貌iridh aon iasgair agus mar a fhuair e air ais air a chasan bliadhna 脿s d猫idh na tubaist.

John Morrison is in conversation with Torcuil Crichton about the devastation he witnessed while covering the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 as a journalist for the Sunday Herald.

It is estimated that around 230,000 people lost their lives when one of the largest earthquakes on record created a tsunami that hit the coast of 14 countries in the Indian Ocean. Torcuil visited two of the worst affected regions in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, encountering scenes of utter devastation while having to work in the most challenging of conditions. He talks about the mass burials in fishing villages of Sri Lanka and also of hearing poignant stories of survival from those who were fortunate enough to live through it.

Toruil also travelled to Banda Aceh in Indonesia, one of the regions closest to the original epicentre.
