It was about 9:30 in the morning and we were in the room planning on making plans for the day.
All of a sudden water just started coming in between the wall and the roof. It came in very fast
and then the next minute I was trapped on the floor underneath the bed which had turned over on
top of me. The roof of the hut was turned off by the force of the water and both Fernando and I
were taken out of the hut and it just felt like we were drowning immediately.
It was just a huge force and I had no sense of direction whatsoever. The only direction that I
knew was up and we were washed out and ended up popping up together. Fernando and I were
trying to stay together but the currents were going sideways and we were just swirling and trying
to keep our face up.
Then the two of us wrapped ourselves around the telephone pole and then all of a sudden we felt
the water surge again. Fernando looked at me and said, “It’s not over! And I felt his hand on the
back of my shirt and I felt his hand slip away. And then I was drowning again he was forced to
let go. The force of the water pushed me underneath and I got my face trapped between two
telephone wires and it pulled myself out from underneath it and kept travelling.
It's a miracle that I am sitting here. I believe that I was spared for a reason. I'm really thankful
that I was given the strength and the presence of mind that I had.

Read the text carefully and answer the question

The term tsunami comes from two Japanese words that mean "harbor" and "wave". A tsunami is
a series of large waves generated by an abrupt movement on the ocean floor that can result from
an earthquake, an underwater landslide, a volcanic eruption or - very rarely - a large meteorite
strike. 

However, powerful undersea earthquakes are responsible for most tsunamis. Seismologists say
only earthquakes measuring greater than 7.0 on the Richter scale can produce a major tsunami. 

Most earthquakes that generate tsunamis - including Friday's jolt off Japan's eastern coast - occur
in areas called seduction zones, where pieces of the Earth's crust press against each other.
Seduction means that one tectonic plate slides beneath another and sinks deep into the Earth's
mantle. 

The friction between two slow-moving plates of the Earth's crust creates vast amounts of seismic
energy which is released in the form of an earthquake. When a strong undersea earthquake
strikes a relatively short distance below the sea floor, it abruptly pushes up one of the immense
plates of the Earth's crust. That suddenly displaces an enormous amount of ocean water which
becomes a tsunami, spreading outward in every direction from the epicentre of an earthquake -
like ripples on a pond, only on a much larger scale.

The traditional vehicle of Indonesia, popularly known as “becaks”, which are basically
pedicabs or tricycles, are rarely seen these days in the metropolitan city of Jakarta.
Becak cluttering the main streets of Jakarta were a common sight before 1994. After
that, they were banned in the city because of their propensity to cause traffic jams.
Consequently, becaks are widely missed by people living in housing complexes
situated away from the main roads, because of the lack of public transportation in the
small and narrow streets of the city. These traditional vehicles are still a favorite in
cities and towns across Java island and elsewhere. In the nation’s leading cultural city,
Yogyakarta, which has numerous attractions an is the second most visited destination
in Indonesia after Bali, becak is being promoted as the tourism icon.

and the development of public civilization in Yogyakarta can be seen from several
dimensions, namely becak as a mode of traditional transportation, becak drivers being
responsible citizen of the city and becak as the mover of economic activity” Bambang
