COOPER: You know, James, one of the things you talked about the other night when I spoke with you on the phone that really moved me and really stayed in my mind, I've been thinking about it a lot since then, was your immediate concern for the people left behind, for the Thai people, who opened up their homes, opened up their hearts to you, and helped you, even though their homes were destroyed, even though their hearts were broken.
JAMES FIRMAGE: Yes, I can't imagine that, if you had just lost your entire worldly possessions and perhaps more, parents, children, that you would turn around and offer kindness in the form of food or drinks for our kids. One man went down to the village, or whatever was left of it -- I don't know how he did it -- and brought up rice. You know, some of the best-tasting rice we've ever had. And he didn't have to do that. I don't know why he did it.
And I think it's a testament to the Thai people, the generosity of spirit, just a magical, magical group. COOPER: Well, Vivian and James, and especially Caitlin and Michaela, you all have a lot of courage. And we're glad you're home safe and sound, and we appreciate you being with us tonight.

COOPER: When you say literally running for your lives, I mean, tell us where you were when the first wave hit.
FIRMAGE: Right. Well, we had checked out of our hotel, so we were walking down along the beach looking for -- actually, it was (UNINTELLIGIBLE) a massage on the beach. And my daughter, my youngest daughter, sat down to write in her journal that we've been encouraging her to (UNINTELLIGIBLE). We noticed that there was sort of this wonderment and awe with some of the local Thais.
And by the way, if I don't get a chance to thank the generosity of the Thai people on the island, they lost so much and were so generous.

COOPER: James, what do you tell your kids? I mean, do they ask why this happened?
FIRMAGE: Thankfully, we haven't had to ask, we haven't had to answer that question. We've just been talking about it, and we talk, and we cry. And we talk, and we cry some more. And then they cry. And for them, it's a different perspective.
My youngest was upset that she lost her little stuffed animal. My oldest was shaking uncontrollably and couldn't tell me why. And we've been describing to them all morning and last night, and the people here have been so gracious. Nobody has been afraid to talk to us. Everybody's been very helpful and overwhelmingly supportive.
And even though the grandson of the king in Thailand passed away, which is akin to George Bush losing his daughters, you know, that's how much they revere and love the king here.
They were gracious enough to ask how we were doing. And one gentleman came down, cooked some rice, brought it up to us from the hill, without thinking about his family. And others would make sure we were OK.
You know, so because of the support from everybody around us and because we had -- we were sleeping with a group of incredibly great people that we've nicknamed, who were always looking out for our children, we didn't have to -- we haven't had to have that conversation. I'm sure we will.
But thankfully, now, they just -- they talk about it, but in a sense that this is a natural thing, and there was nothing anybody could have done to prevent it, and here we are.
COOPER: It's an extraordinary thing, and a difficult thing for us to sort of comprehend. Telling your story...

COOPER: A survivor from Alaska.
We've just learned that the death toll in Indonesia has risen to 27,000. That's the official number, but as we said, that number's likely to grow.
We have another remarkable eyewitness account tonight of the tsunami disaster. Stephanie Sewell, an American, was on a family reunion on Raleigh Beach in Thailand off of the island of Phuket when the waves struck. They were having breakfast getting to leave. Now they're helping with the relief work and she joins us on the phone.
Stephanie, what is the situation you're seeing around you now?
STEPHANIE SEWELL, TSUNAMI SURVIVOR: Well, what we're seeing around now is it is fairly ghost town so far as any tourists. There's hardly any of us left. There's a handful of American and Canadians over here. We worked on the beach yesterday. Kind of clearing out.
Because what happened is that it is the -- it has been hit but nowhere hit as Sri Lanka. So no sort of funds or finances have coming in. So these people have lost their livelihood. So we decided as a family, with my three young children, we are going to help and give a helping hand here.
And so we have been burning off a bunch of debris. We've had huge fires on the beach, trying to burn up most of the debris, taking boats out of trees. Retrieving just a lot of stuff and trying to put their lives back together.
And the Thais are so appreciative.
COOPER: Stephanie, I think what you're doing is just extraordinary. So many people obviously have left. SEWELL: It's just been an amazing experience. Because just after what -- seeing the actual tidal wave coming in and slapping us. The actual -- just the actual just reconstructing it all and my girls seeing the whole reconstruction of it all has been quite a healing process for us as a family, and just encouraging the Thais, that we're here for them.
Every visitor here has a story.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I met people, asked them what did they lose, someone they lose their family. All so sad.
RAMAN: Tong (ph) lives inland, far from the shores consumed by tsunami waves. After hearing about the disaster, he felt for the large number of foreigners among the casualties. Their faces surround everyone here as a constant reminder of who was lost. The missing now, by many accounts, presumed dead.
(on camera) There are thousands of volunteers like Tong Thai (ph) coming here from all over Thailand, fueling this massive relief effort. This is a country that often finds compassion in crisis.
(voice-over) American Tony Carney has lived in Thailand for well over a decade. The sights he sees now are nothing new.
TONY CARNEY, EXPATRIATE: There's a concept in Thailand, in Thai culture that doesn't even translate into the English language. The word is Nam Jai (ph), which translated loosely is an outpouring of the heart. Thai people have a great pride in this concept.
RAMAN: Around this tent city, scores of volunteers, looking to help shocked and stranded tourists wandering a foreign land, not speaking its language, torn from their loved ones.
Tong (ph) and many like him are the core of Thailand's relief effort.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Maybe I think Thai people are Buddhist. Buddhists try to help other people.
RAMAN: Waving above the scene of sadness, Thailand's flag, at half-mast for its own people and the countless travelers who also perished here.
