Ani Naqvi - Surviving The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami

On Boxing Day 2004, Ani Naqvi was woken up by a loud bang. As she sought to discover the root of this noise, she soon found herself underwater as water filled her hut and she became, in her own words, "like a grain of rice in a washing machine". It was what would become known as the Indian Ocean Tsunami - the most powerful earthquake every recorded in Asia, with a magnitude of 9.1-9.3. An estimated 227,898 in 14 countries died due to the tsunami and it is considered one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. As a survivor of this, Ani has had to face up to her own survivors guilt to find meaning in life. Now she dedicates her life to inspiring the same amount of people as those who perished in the disaster. Daisy Maskell is joined by Ani Naqvi to hear her first-hand experience in the Indian Ocean Tsunami, and to find out how it has shaped her view of the world today.
