Tsunami up close and personal

This story touched me today - CNN reports on a Canadian couple who were killed in the Tsunami, and whose broken camera was found and the memory card recovered with the images intact:

Click on the link "Recovered Tsunami Images" partly down to the right, for a sequence of 5 pics, including one of the smiling couple on the beach earlier.
