CAR NICOBAR, INDIA: An aerial view taken from an Indian army flight shows a part of the Car Nicobar island, 29 December 2004. The death toll in the tidal wave disaster around the Indian Ocean could rise above 100,000 once India's outlying islands of the Andaman and Nicobar, who were the closest to the epicentre of an earthquake which triggered the tsunami, are fully checked, a senior international Red Cross official said.
