"
During the
Indian Ocean earthquake of 26 December 2004, Petra was at the
Khao Lak resort in
Thailand with her main photographer and
fiancé,
Simon Atlee when a
tsunami struck where they were staying.
Atlee was killed by drowning, and Němcová suffered a broken
pelvis and serious internal injuries, but she managed to hold onto the top of a
palm tree, reportedly for eight hours, until she was rescued by Thai civilians and airlifted to an inland hospital nearby. Petra spent three weeks in a Thai hospital, and then flew home to the Czech Republic, where she spent an additional three weeks in the hospital. Atlee's body was not found until over two months after the tsunami."
