Welcome to Smoke + Ash - A Disaster Podcast. This podcast shares the terrifying and miraculous true stories of humans encountering cataclysmic disasters.

This season, we’re diving into the Indian Ocean Tsunami — one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history, triggered by a hidden fault line deep beneath the Indian Ocean.

On today’s episode, Ashley takes us to Sri Lanka where the tsunami arrives with unimaginable force. We’ll hear from those caught in its path, from travelers on the coast to passengers aboard the ill-fated Queen of the Sea train. As the waves tear through towns and farmlands, we witness the chaos, the heartbreak, and the moments of impossible survival that unfold in mere minutes.
