Summary: For most of us, the impression of the word ""tsunami"" is a combination of multiple elements of action movie, thriller, drama and science fiction, which can only be experienced through movies such as ""The Poseidon Adventure"", ""The Impossible"", ""Bait 3D"", and ""Haewundae, 2012"". However, we have now indeed witnessed a tsunami in 2011. People are now very concerned and some are afraid of the realization of movie scenes in our real life. More research fields have started to give attention and thought to the tsunami itself and its impact on economics, disaster management and future challeng.
