Communities across Asia commemorate 15th anniversary of the 2004 tsunami, which killed around 230,000 people in 14 countries
Submerged buildings are seen near the pier at Ton Sai Bay in Thailand's Phi Phi island, December 28, 2004 after a tsunami hit the area.
On the morning after Christmas Day in 2004, a 9.1 magnitude quake off northern Sumatra island triggered a tsunami with waves as high as 17.4 meters that swept over vulnerable coastal areas of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, and nine other countries. Since then, the area has been largely rebuilt, with some 25,600 residential, commercial, government and school buildings constructed inside a high-risk zone, that had suffered virtually total devastation in 2004.
