Comments:
A low atmospheric depression over the Bay of Bengal caused a violent storm at sea and along the coastal belt of Bangladesh on 19 September 2006. It generated tornados that struck various localities and caused heavy rain across the country for over four days. According to media reports, the sudden storm capsized hundreds of fishing trawlers and other boats, as well as a Bangladesh navy ship in the Bay of Bengal, which were caught unaware. About 1,000-1,500 fishermen and a naval commander are reported missing. According to some reports, around 115 bodies were recovered (as on 28 September) and so far 6,000 survivors have returned home.
