2004 Indian Ocean tsunami: 10 years on, Matthew Bannister hears tales of loss, and extraordinary survival, from the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh. Fauziah Basyariah lost her husband and parents in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. But she and her children were saved by a fishing boat that was washed inland by the huge wave and came to rest on top of a house. Today the boat is still there, and Fauziah supports her family by making dried fish products, called "tsunami", which carry a photo of the boat that saved her life. Reporter Candida Beveridge went to the village of Lampulo to see her, and the boat.
