-------------------------------- A family of survivors from Sweden
By Jamie Wilson
LONDON, JAN. 3. It has become one of the defining images of the tsunami disaster: a woman in a bikini running towards a giant wave, trying to save her children who had been playing in the surf (The Hindu, December 31, 2004). When it appeared last week, most people assumed the family had perished. But on Sunday it emerged that Karin Svaerd, 37, a policewoman from Sweden, her husband, three sons and her brother had all survived.
``I had to try to save my children; nothing was going to stop me. Terror was coming up inside me. I could feel it. But I was so focussed I just started running to my family,'' she told the Expressen in Sweden. ``I could see this white wall coming to me and it was coming faster. I did not care. I was looking at my children. I wanted to hold them and care for them.'' She added: ``I can remember the white foam, how the surf took them up, and they disappeared. Maybe a second or two later the wave hit me and took me up.''
The policewoman was engulfed by water and swept inland at the Hat Rai Beach near Krabi in southern Thailand. She managed to cling to a palm tree, but lost her grip when another giant wave crashed in. Eventually she was washed up on higher ground, where she faced an agonising search for her husband Lars, brother Per and children Anton, 14, Filip, 11 and Viktor, 10.
``By this time I thought my family were dead. My life was over as far as I could see it. My children were taken away from me. It was 10 minutes — the worst 10 minutes in my life — before I found my family together on the higher ground away from the water... They were all holding each other, looking frightened and confused. I yelled, `Thank God you are alive'."
