An excavator removes a tsunami-battered fishing boat in Ban Nam Khen, about 120 km north of the Thai resort island of Phuket, January 5, 2005. Rescuers with industrial-scale pumps began draining a lagoon in Ban Nam Khem,a fishing village of 5,000 people now almost completely in ruins. Rescuers fear the bodies of scores of missing victims may be lying under the water, some trapped in cars and trucks. REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang
