Which one of the following statements about the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and the resulting Tsunami is not correct?

As per the current estimates the quake-generated tSunami killed more than 50 lakh people, in addition to unaccounted dead bodies swept out to sea
The resulting tSunami devastated the shores ranging from the coast of Indonesia to the East coast of Africa, some 8,500 km away from the epicentre
The Earthquake originated due to slipping of about 1,200 km of fault line by 15 m along the subduction zone where the India Plate subducts the Burma plate at the Sunda Trench
Bangladesh had very few casualities because the quake-affected fault line was in a nearly North-South orientation, the greatest strength of the tSunami waves was in an East-West direction
