Indonesians have commemorated the 19th anniversary of the deadly Indian Ocean tsunami that struck on December 26, 2004. The disaster left more than 220,000 people dead or missing in a vast area spanning from Southeast Asia to East Africa.
                
The tsunami was triggered by a massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Indonesia&#039;s Sumatra Island. More than 160,000 people were killed in Aceh province, located on the northwest tip of the island.
                
A memorial ceremony was held Tuesday in Banda Aceh, the capital of the province. Amid the wail of sirens, prayers were offered at 8 a.m., around the time the quake struck.
                
At the event, a tsunami survivor shared her experience with other participants.
                
A woman said the tsunami hit about 20 minutes after the quake took place. She said she found herself unable to run because she was so shocked to see the tide surging up &quot;like a dragon.&quot;
                
A 63-year-old man, who lost his son in the disaster, said he can never forget the tragedy. He said he intends to tell as many people as possible to quickly evacuate to higher ground when they hear the tsunami warning sirens.
                
Aceh authorities have been providing training for disaster preparedness through such efforts as maintaining the remains of homes destroyed by the tsunami.
                
The authorities aim to pass on the memories of the disaster to future generations.
They are considering ways to carry this out with help from Japan, which experienced a massive quake and tsunami in 2011.
