Government workers and volunteers pile bodies on to a mass burial pit, including train passengers who were riding from Colombo to Galle, in Galle, Sri Lanka Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2004. Families of the dead used cooking utensils and even their bare hands to dig graves in the aftermath of a huge tidal wave in Sri Lanka, as rescuers searching through the debris uncovered thousands of bodies Tuesday, bringing the toll in this tropical island to over 18,000.
