Hat Rai Lay Beach, Krabi, Thailand.
Die Familie hat überlebt!!
THE woman who was photographed dashing down a beach trying to warn her family of the approaching tsunami has survived.
And so has her family.
Their fate was unknown until yesterday, but pictures of her rushing down the beach were sent around the world.
"I was yelling at them to run, but they couldn't hear me," 37-year-old Karin Svaerd said, describing her desperation as her three sons, brother and brother-in-law snorkelled in the water, unaware of the danger.
The three pictures showed confused holidaymakers on the Ray Leh Beach in Krabi, Thailand, looking at the water receding before the tsunami hit the beach.
Another shot showed swimmers running in to shore once they saw the water approaching.
But Mrs Svaerd, unlike everyone else in the picture, was running out towards the wave in a desperate attempt to reach her family.
Her sons -- Anton, 14, Filip, 11, and Viktor, 10 -- could not see the wave.
Witnesses heard her scream: "Oh my God, not my children!"
Yesterday, Mrs Svaerd told the Swedish daily newspaper Expressen: "I yelled 'run, run'."
But she said her voice was drowned out by the roar of water. "I got 150m out before they started to run. By then they'd also seen the wave."
The family got caught in the tsunami and were tossed around.
An hour later, the family members, including Mrs Svaerd's husband and sister, who were sunbathing on the beach, had found each other.
"We all survived. That feeling is hard to describe," she said.
