The Stunning Aftermath Of The “Child Of Krakatoa” Tsunami

A tsunami believed to have been triggered by the collapse of a volcano called the “Child of Krakatoa” slammed into coastal areas on the islands of Java and Sumatra late Saturday, becoming the second deadly wave to hammer the island nation this year.

At least 281 people have died and more than 1,000 people are still missing; international charities and the Indonesia government say they’re pouring resources into a recovery operation.

While communications are still down across much of the affected area, images and video footage of the damage has already made its way to social media.

Here’s a glimpse of what the aftermath looks like:

With the rescue operation still in its early stages, the death toll is expected to climb, as not all of the affected areas have been reached by rescuers.
