Smell of Rotting Human Bodies After Tsunami in Asia

After seeing images from recent Tsunami in Asia and hundreds/thousands of human corpses lying all over the place, i just wonder how bad is stench of rotting dead bodies lying in warm climate like in Indonesia? Is it kind of like regular road kill or dead cow, or maybe the smell is specific only to us?
I have seen some incredibly gruesome pictures of victims from Tsunami on www.Ogrish.com, but I want to know what you guys can tell me on this.
Some of you might be attending medical schools, so I guess you know more.Thanks.

I've seen video of the liberation of the concentration camps after WWII. The stench is overpowering. That combined with the fact that its dead bodies you smell and people were vomiting and passing out all over the place.

The smell of rotting human bodies after a natural disaster like a tsunami is truly horrific. It is not something that can easily be compared to road kill or a dead cow. The stench is overwhelming and can linger for a long time, especially in warm climates like in Indonesia. The smell is not specific to any one person or group, it is a result of the decomposition process of human bodies.

As for those attending medical school, they may have a better understanding of the chemical processes and odors associated with decomposition, but it is not something they can fully prepare for. Seeing and smelling the aftermath of a disaster like a tsunami is a traumatic experience and can have a lasting impact on those who witness it.

I would also like to caution against seeking out gruesome images and videos online. While they may satisfy your curiosity, they can also be extremely disturbing and disrespectful to the victims and their families. It is important to approach these topics with sensitivity and empathy.

In the face of a tragedy like a tsunami, it is important to focus on the human aspect and offer support and aid to those affected. The smell of rotting bodies is a somber reminder of the lives lost, and our thoughts should be with the victims and their loved ones during this difficult time.
