Imagine being trapped with thousands of sharp objects in a giant
washing machine spinning at high speed and being forced to hold
your breath until your lungs threaten to burst. That's what it is
like to experience the effects of a tsunami firsthand. In Rising
Above the Wave, author and sailor Ed Muesch chronicles his and his
wife Helen's terrifying experience resulting from the tsunami on
December 26, 2004, at Phi Phi Don Island in Thailand. Ed and Helen
were walking the beach that fateful day when they spotted a white
foam line on the horizon. Unable to outrun the wave, they stood
firm and bear hugged until they were buried beneath it. Swept
underwater, across the island, and out to sea, they were
miraculously rescued by a Thai fisherman. Helen was unconscious
after the first wave and barely survived. Their survival on Black
Sunday is overshadowed by Ed's guilt over his inability to save
those struggling in the sea around him. Hearing them calling for
help and watching them die haunts him daily. Relive this
unforgettable experience and Ed's ongoing effort to overcome the
effects of this life-changing event, estimated to have taken the
lives of 3,000 people.
