"AKARTA, Indonesia — The world's most powerful earthquake in 40 years triggered massive tidal waves that slammed into villages and seaside resorts across southern and southeast Asia on Sunday, killing more than 7,000 people in six countries.

"Tourists, fishermen, homes and cars were swept away by walls of water up to 20 feet high that swept across the Bay of Bengal (search), unleashed by the 8.9-magnitude earthquake centered off the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra (search)."
