A crowd gathers at the main North Shore beach of Takapuna to see the tsunami in Auckland September 30, 2009. Authorities later cancelled a Pacific tsunami warning on Wednesday after a huge sub-sea earthquake sent waves over the Samoa islands, reportedly killing about 14 people but falling short of a regional disaster.
