10-Year Old Hero Saves Tourists from Tsunami
How important is geography? Well, just ask any of the hundred tourists saved by 10-year old Tilly Smith. While vacationing on the beach in Phuket, Thailand, Tilly recognized the early warning signs of a tsunami, and told her parents. Luckily, the adults listened. The beach was cleared, one-hundred lives saved.
The British school girl from Oxshott, Surrey, credits her geography teacher, Andrew Kearney, of Danes Hill Prep School. Click here for the news reports about Tilly.
