I'm on the floor coughing up most of the sea.

But I look around and there's total devastation.

I mean, every single one of the shacks had gone.

The world has been wiped clean, And it's like, you're the last man on earth.

at this point in time, I'm holding out hope against hope that she's made it, because I know full well that she's a very strong swimmer.

But deep, deep, deep down in my heart, I think she's dead.

When the wave hit, we were walking through the marketplace.

As the water started to go above my chest, I looked for Rachel and I reached out and I grabbed the straps to a bikini top.

The straps broke and she went sailing past me.

After the water subsided, I just headed back to the hotel, screaming for Rachel, knowing in my heart of hearts he's not there.

But I realized when I saw some of the severity of the wounds coming in, some people may not make it unless we did something really, really fast.

My life before the day is totally different.

I like to talk a lot with people and I teaching people and make people laugh.

When I see the wave come towards me, I make decision to run up to the high place, But

I still afraid that the wave will come back and kill me and kill everyone.

Most of people say, you better go up to the hills.

I see a lot of dead bodies laying on the beach.

I saw this girl at the ground, She's about to die.

And she said, please, if you see my family, tell them that I dying.

I said, I grabbed her hand, then can you tell my parent that I'm Anna?

I found legends and I love this PP island and she died on my hand.

And then I hear the scream of people, please help me, get me out of this place.

I could not say no to everyone calling for help.

I was battered, I was broken, and my right shoulder dislocated.

But I was lucky because I was able to walk.

I was in reasonably good shape compared to everybody else who wasn't in good shape.

If you are caught in any of the buildings, that wall of water smashes through that window and everything in that Room becomes a weapon.

Not just a weapon, a weapon that is desperately trying to kill you.

There's a poor guy that was literally skewered on some metal in the reception.

Hundreds of people had died and many hundreds of people were injured.

So I just said, you know, is there anybody with medical experience?

He said, well, we can use a psychiatrist later on, but

right now we need someone with some medical training.

I thought, well, I've got some medical training, yeah.

This is way beyond anybody's capacity to deal with.

I'm telling people to use bits of wooden slats as splints of people with broken legs.

And then Sadie came in and it was difficult for me to process how I was going to manage that.

Sally and I were by the pool when the wave came and I said, go, just go and get somewhere high.

And then I ran down the beach to try and help some people.

When I found Sally, she obviously didn't think she was that badly hurt.

Checked under the sheet, she had a deep gash right into her stomach and that was all open, torn to shreds like you'd see in a shark attack.

And then her foot, her ankle was all up and her heel was sort of all hanging off.

And I had to be honest with said, this is.

But don't get her off this island today and get proper medical treatment.

But the only way people can get to us was by boat or by year.

I heard the news in the morning, but not very much detail.

We never encountered Tsunambi before, but

at the meeting, they reported that there were at least 100 dead and it would increase hour by hour.

They said that some people stranded in many islands.

I could not move up on something high up.

Something was wrapped around my body and it hurt a lot.

So, yeah, engaged and ready to move on in life.

And then I heard people scream for help around me.

I heard a guy below me, felt like a couple of meters down.

He was breathing really bad and he was moaning like I'M about to die, I'm going to die.

So I'm screaming, I'm resting a couple of seconds, I talk to him.

I don't know how long time passed, but he stopped breathing and stopped making sound.

And then I start screaming for help again.

The cuts were deep, she'd lost a lot of blood.

So she was my priority number one to get her off.
