Perhaps the "fake Tsunami" picture actually shows a rather unique Chinese phenomena. The link you provided certainly suggests that is the case. Assuming the picture is "real", it shows how a telephoto lens can distort reality and how some careful positioning and composition can exaggerate the effects even more. Nothing new there. Our means of distortion and sensationalism are close to endless. Regardless of whether the picture is real or not - its apparent purpose is sensationalism through manipulation. The actual means don't really matter. Thumps down. Please do not rest in peace - come back with more interesting insights! Karl Live and learn!

It's part of a series of photos, the others of which are less ambiguous. The people are in fact running. They are not on a beach, but rather a concrete pier of some sort. If only I could find the series. I forget the cause of the wave; possibly a strongly channeled tidal bore. Besides, I think it's a passable 'tsunami photo' since it looks real (and is real) and not every bit of coastline need be beach. Nice page.

They aren't really my cup of tea, but anyone can believe and support whatever they want. There certainly are fake pictures floating around of 9/11. I know nothing about the authenticity of the photos you mention. Thanks, Karl Every disaster seems to attract conspiracy theories.

It's not faked - "just" staged. I think Naudet and his brother, and the folk around them, are all complicit in 9/11, and their "9/11" film is packed with evidence of fakery and manipulation.
