It weaves together compelling stories of survival and heroism, featuring scientists who raced against time to understand and warn the world, journalists who uncovered the shocking reality, fearless rescuers who risked their lives to save others, and survivors who faced the unimaginable.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to expertly connecting archival footage with first-person testimony, TSUNAMI: RACE AGAINST TIME used billions of raw data points provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to create a high-resolution, moving simulation seen throughout each episode. They also worked in careful collaboration with scientists, local experts, and survivors to establish timings for the arrival and spread of successive tsunami waves on the day across multiple affected coastlines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;TSUNAMI: RACE AGAINST TIME is a visceral, sensitive, and gripping retelling of the terrible events of the Boxing Day tsunami.
