	This past year the Discovery Channel had a program on tsunamis.  I
tuned in and learned some very interesting facts (i.e. tsunamis top the list
of natural disaters for the number of lives it takes-interesting because
they are somewhat of a rarity) but was disappointed that there has never
been one photographed.  All the program showed was the trail of destruction
after the fact and eye-witness accounts.  Since they are caused by
earthquakes occuring deep in the ocean, they can be identified and tracked
yet noone has dropped a remote camera in the area or stood on a mountain top
with a video camera in the location where it comes ashore.
