>>From the unbelievable chaos of the Tsunami disaster comes an incredible
>tale from Jim France of the Pavilion Hotel Group in   Bangkok  . At a
>resort on Phuket, one of the most popular attractions is (was) elephant
>rides. As many as eight people on one elephant, first into the
>surrounding forest, then down to the beach, to lunch at a fresh water
>lagoon, then back to the hotel. The elephants (nine) were kept chained
>to in-ground posts, not because they needed to be, but because it made
>the mothers feel better because their children seemed safe from a
>tromping when feeding the beasts.
>About twenty minutes before the first wave hit, the elephants became
>extremely agitated and unruly. Four had just returned from a trip and
>their handler's had not yet chained them. They helped the other five
>tear free from their chains. They all then climbed a hill and started
>bellowing. Many people followed them up the hill. Then the waves
>hit. After the waves subsided, the elephants charged down from
>the hill, and started picking
>up children with their trunks and running them back up the hill; when
>all the children were taken care of, they started helping the adults.
>
>They rescued forty- two people. Then, they returned to the beach and
>carried up four dead bodies, one of a child.
>Not until the task was done would they allow their handler's to mount
>them.
>
>Then with handlers atop, they began moving wreckage.

>Many Super-Human and Super-Sentient capacities were being exhibited
>though these Wonderful Elephant Beings including Divine Love for one
>another and their fellow humans through the transitions they were going
>through.
>
>The elephants applied their natural instinct towards the most positive
>affirmative solution when faced with emergency, trauma and tragedy.
