The Andaman and Nicobar islands suffered extensive damage when a wall of water, as high as 15 metres ( 49 ft ) in places, hit land just about 15 minutes later .

The 9.1 magnitude quake was the third most powerful ever recorded in the world - and remains the biggest and most destructive in Asia .

Thousands of people were turned homeless when the tidal wave flooded homes in low areas.

Indian military flew journalists to Car Nicobar , a flat fertile island known for its enchanting beaches and also home to a large Indian air force colony.

The killer tsunami had completely flattened the base and as most people slept, the ground was pulled away from under their feet.

The only thing that stood - surprisingly intact - was a bust of Mahatma Gandhi at a traffic roundabout.
