Over 420 people killed and 1,485 injured after huge wave comes out of nowhere
TANJUNG LESUNG, Indonesia - As the white strobe lights flashed hypnotically, the band's lead singer screamed into the crowd: "We are! We are Seventeen! Seventeen!" He then let loose with a long note as the guitarist wailed behind him.
Some in the audience clapped as they sat at beachside tables covered in crisp white linens. Others walked casually across the grass. A small boy wandered among the tables, and a woman in a headscarf moved closer to the stage, her cell phone out and ready to capture the memory of this perfect night, a year-end concert at a popular resort on Java island's west coast.
