Four members of the band are still missing:

The band released a statement saying their bass player and road manager were found dead, while four other members of their group remained missing.

The group’s lead vocalist, Riefian “Ifan” Fajarsyah, has been the only survivor found so far. He posted a video to Instagram looking shell shocked and asking for prayers.

More than 100 people are now confirmed dead:

At least 113 people have been killed and another 600 injured, with widespread destruction across the Sunda Strait region.

Initial indications are that the tsunami was triggered by an undersea landslide, caused by the eruption of Krakatoa volcano late on Saturday night local time.

Surprisingly, authorities issued no warning. In fact, they said exactly the opposite:

Local authorities initially assured people there was no tsunami risk and told locals not to panic or spread “fake news” via social media ...

On Twitter, the boss of the agency, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, apologised and said the incorrect initial information was based on the first available data.

“The initial error occurred because of referring data and information from various sources that there was no tsunami,” a translation of the message read.

Good Lord.

these scientists  sure did get it wrong....didnt they?..

'Fake news?'

Gee...gonna be hard to explain that if the tale turns out to be true, and that ought not be too difficult to establish....one way or the other.

It wasn't a tsunami caused by an earth quake, they originally said it was because of the full moon and the tides.

The Indonesians must be cursed, probably because they are Muslims.

In 2004, when the earthquake shook Indonesia in 2004, Australia sent out a tsunami warning to Indonesia. Indonesia's answer was to ignore it. "bugger you, round eye" basically.

*THUMP* Indonesia loses 100,000 citizens.

2018. Tsunami warning again. Naaaahhh. *THUMP* Indonesia loses hundreds more?

It was a landslide from a volcano so there was probably no seismic data to support a tsunami, so being Muslims they thought it was the Moon.

krakatoa playing silly buggers again 

At least it's only a few 100

Stop making shite up

Authorities in Indonesia, where a 9.1 magnitude quake sparked the tsunami, weren't able to send out an alert because the country's sensor system had been hit by lightning.

Was it Krakatoa? or the son of Krakatoa.

Anak Krakatoa.

I thought the MEDIA operating outside Oceania and keeping North Americans in the Dark...

...was indeed FAKE NEWS!

Just like RELIGION operating outside the Middle-East and keeping Africa in the dark.

Tsunami sweeps away boy band mid-performance in Indonesia

What a load of crap!
That video was a rip off!
The action didn't happen until the last second!
I sat and watched through all that crap until the last second and for Pete's sake, I still didn't get to see the Tsunami - because they were still in the bloody way!
Even Pete wouldn't give a crap about watching people die in some backwater over-populated country run by yellow monkeys who can't even afford to buy a packet of peanuts unless the Australian Government gives them the money in 'Aid Funds' to purchase the Australian made product.
Money for Nothing, but the Chimps are free. ::)

In all seriousness, many of the racists and bigots in this forum are sociopaths.

Sociopaths don't have compassion.

Anak ... but it's all the same ... Anak grew in 1927 from the original caldera after the 1883 explosion ... it's the same volcano.

Originally there were 4 volcanos on the island of Krakatau but they were all connected to the one magma chamber.

3 out of the 4 directly above that chamber & 2/3rds of the island went kapow in 1883.

The 4th Krakatoa cone remains on the remnants of the island ... called Rakata (which means the same as Krakatoa in Indonesian) has an extinct cone rising 820 mtrs.

I am not really concerned with how it was caused, unless it was human created. But the fact that Indonesia has tsunami warnings with enough notification to have the most isolated of people know about a potential tsunami coming. The warnings just get ignored.

it was dark when it hit- must have been very frightening- poor little kids caught up in that-370 and counting- we should be grateful we are not effected by them

And if the US Geological Center wasn't closed (thanks to the F A T Orange man) there could have given ample warning this was going to happen.

Thanks, Rethuglicons

which ever way it goes PANIC would set in  I am sure they would have had some clear indication of this happening  I mean a Giant wave doesnt come from nowhere does it?.........even the vulcano doing its thing   comes with an indication something more so is happening....

we have so much techo these days to indicate the potential for this to happen...I think there is a stuff up somewhere

There was no warning because there was no seismic activity.

The volcano didn't look too far offshore and the wave didn't go too far inland, in daylight hours they may have seen it coming and could have made a run for it.
