==At least 43 killed in horrific tsunami in Indonesia

Shocking vision shows the moment a band is washed away by a tsunami in Indonesia, which has killed at least 43 and injured 600.==

 

Shocking vision has emerged from Indonesia showing the moment a massive wall of water hit the coast, while a band was performing on stage.

 

The group Seventeen was in the middle of a concert when the five-metre tsunami was triggered by an erupting volcano late on Saturday night local time.

 

At least 43 people were killed and another 600 were injured, with widespread destruction across the Sunda Strait region.

 

In videos shared on social media, Seventeen can be seen dancing around on a stage with a crowd of fans looking on, before the band members and their equipment are washed away.

 

The fate of the performers is not known.

 

The official death toll sits at 43, with victims in the Pandeglang, South Lampung and Serang regions, but officials warn that number could rise as search and rescue operations expand.

 

Initial indications are that a five-metre wall of water washed at least 20 metres inland across the stretch of coast, believed to have been caused by undersea landslides following the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano.

 

Daylight has revealed the extent of the destruction, with hundreds of significantly damaged homes and dozens of hotels and other buildings also impacted.

 

Indonesia’s Disaster Mitigation Agency said several hundred people were injured and at least two are believed to be missing.

 

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said the Australian Embassy in Jakarta is making urgent inquiries to determine if any Australians were affected.
