Indian Ocean nations test tsunami warning system

BANGKOK - The sirens are heard, the parents took their children and hundreds rushed to shelters in Indonesia as the countries bordering the Indian Ocean carried out an experiment, introduced on Wednesday a warning system after the devastating 2004 tsunami.

But at least one of the survivors was also paralyzed by the memories of the deadly waves that participate in mock evacuations.
