Baitul Makmur Meulaboh Grand Mosque in Meulaboh, Aceh, left intact after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, that created a huge tsunami leaving at least 130,000 deaths in Indonesia only. A Navy HH-60H Seahawk helicopter, assigned to the "Golden Falcons" of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Two (HS-2), was delivering relief supplies to the survivors in Meulaboh. More than US$ 10 bn aids were promised by tens of countries in one of the biggest humanitarian responses ever.
