Tens of thousands were killed and many more injured; sailors in the Sunda strait, for example, were deafened by the eruption.

The six-point-two-magnitude earthquake was centered beneath the Sunda Strait. Officials say earthquakes of this strength can trigger a tsunami, but gave no indication that one is imminent.

这次芮氏6.2级地震的震央是巽他海峡的海底．有关官员说，这种强度的地震能够引发海啸，但没有表示海啸即将来临。

That was only the beginning of the horror for people living near the Sunda Strait, which separates Sumatra and Java.
