It is sad to see so many people dead from this.

The first ones shown on that website are fake. They say so in an update at the bottom of the page, but I think they should delete them all together. I do not understand why someone would take a tragedy such as this to dummy up fake photos.
The last is real, as far as I know, but is too gruesome to look at! :(

The first series is from another time and place. The calgary herald used it, and then it's origin was found out.
Nicole Bogdas of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel enlisted a photo editor and actually did a little legwork:
Here's the story: This is a two-year-old Reuters photo of a tsunami in China. You might remember the event: a bunch of people went to watch the waves and it turned out to be bigger than they thought. Anyway, the doctor gave the photo to the mayor of Calgary--he'd saved it for fundraising purposes. The Mayor showed it during a presentation on tsunami aid and the herald asked if they could have it thinking it was from this tsunami. Apparently their director of photography wasn't on last night.

So are they just from another tsumani, or have some of them been doctored too? I have to say ... those people holding the umbrellas look pretty silly. Surely, those are doctored! (I hope!)
