Atleast 529 people were dead and over 500 were hurt the West Sumatra Capital of Pandang was hit hardest. 376 people were killed in Pendang. The quake also generated a tsunami which killed over one hundred people in the Samoan Islands. The quake was estimated at about 8.0 magnitude.

It was a devastating disaster. Many lives were lost and many hurt throughout it. Many people probably won’t get over the grief of those they may have lost or may have almost lost in the destruction that the earthquake and tsunami brought.
