Yes. Banda Ache was almost completely destroyed by the 2004 tsunami.
In Banda Aceh the tsunami was 60-80 feet (18-24 meters) high.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, was almost destroyed by the 1755 tsunami.
A earthquake beneath the sea happened right next to Banda Aceh, this triggered a Tsunami. Banda Aceh was next to it so it got hit the worst. The waves were up to 30 metres high! You know the Tsunami in Japan? This wave was WAY bigger that one! How the Earthquake happened: There are these things underneath the ground that are called 'Plates' These plates are right next to each other. Because two plates got pushed together the pressure from that caused one to flip up (Put hands together so your middle fingers are touching one another and then push them together as hard as you can, eventually one of your hands/fingers will move upwards from all the pressure) I hope this helped you :)
it hits Aceh Province in northern sumatra. actually the tsunami is much closer to Indonesia than other countries. and killed most people in Indonesia.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at Sunday, 26 December 2004. The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing over 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (98 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.
