Ten years today, Chris Brummitt and I were manning the jakarta bureau at AP when the reports of a tsunami came in. Accustomed to disaster, I figured we would have a few hundred dead and call it a day. By nightfall, the death toll had gone over a thousand and the waves reached as far as Somalia. So began a year of covering one of the worlds worst disaster, a truly heartbreaking and life changing experience that also showed the power and importance of good journalism. So much sadness but its gratifying to see Aceh back on its feet and the resilience of so many survivors
