On December 26, 2004, at 7:58 AM a magnitude 9.1 earthquake occurred along the seafloor 250km (155mi) southeast of Banda Aceh in Sumatra, Indonesia. Parts of the seabed were displaced upward by 20m (66ft) and opened a new crack 10m (33ft) deep.
The death count has been estimated at between 230,000 to 260,000 people during the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. It's speculated that many of the deaths were caused by a combination of dense coastal populations and an inadequate or nonexistent tsunami-warning system.
As for how many people survived, the population of Sumatra is estimated at 50,365,538 (see the Wikipedia link below). So perhaps 50,105,000 to 50,135,000 people survived the event.
