A two-year-old Auckland boy has been confirmed as one of three New Zealanders killed in the Samoan tsunami and authorities fear for the safety of two more.
The toddler is the third New Zealander to be confirmed dead. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade have concerns for two other Kiwis who were holidaying at the Taufua Resort in Lalomanu.
The toddler was swept out to sea as he was playing on the beach with his parents at Lalomanu when the 6m wave came ashore on Wednesday.
His parents swam to safety. [+]
I can't even imagine what the parents must be going through. They heard the warnings but it was too late. As they tried to escape, a wave got them, and unfortunately the boy didn't make it. I have a two year old daughter, and I can only but imagine the heart ache. There are hundreds of sad stories in the aftermath of the Samoan natural disaster. Be thankful for your life and stop moaning about the little things.
