What began as an undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean ended as the most deadly tsunami in recorded history. Ten years later, scientists have a better understanding of these events, and coastlines are far better prepared for such a catastrophe, thanks in large part to the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research at Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. Part of the "Danger Zone" series.
