Yep...photoshop can only do so much.

The wave is WAY too tall!

Either photoshop or a scene from a movie. Obviously, not from Indonesia.

Definite exageration.

Only a matter of time before the Tourist of Death starts making the rounds.

FAKE! There wasn't even a city like that near the path of the Tsunami. Jakarta and Singapore are the only coastal ones that come to mind.

And that is a really bad job of photoshoping too with building at different distances fromthe viewrs not to the proper scale etc.

The little waves look more realistic then the huge one. That wouldve caused so much more damage. PLus if you look at the direction the cars are driving.... thats normal American style, over there they drive on the wrong sides of the roads from what I saw on tv.

The Snopesters have decided that it must be from a movie made to look like it takes place in Hong Kong. Someone posted a few pics of HK and the buildings were similar, although the angle of the shots wasn't the same so it's not definite.
