Fisherman: Sister's tsunami death makes job at sea 'hard'
Indian teenager Vigneshwaran was 15 when the Boxing Day tsunami hit, and killed his sister.
Vigneshwaran said he could "hear screaming" and "saw black" when the wave struck Nagapattinam beach.
He "spent hours鈥 looking for his sister amongst dead bodies once the water has receded, but found she had died in a relative鈥檚 collapsed home.
Ten years on, Vigneshwaran is now a fisherman but says he finds it "very hard" to go out to sea as it 鈥渂rings back bad memories鈥 of that day.
