  • The 311 tsunami in Japan in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.
    Notes:
    Notice at 00:24 the water rising in the sewers - the tsunami's pressing the underground water to the surface. And then, at 03:15 an entire house is moving - even when the tsunami's only half a metre high!

    An amazing thing that I learned when I visited the Miyagi region a few years ago: The Japanese have standing stones on these hills that were carved centuries ago. On the stones, a warning is written to future generations - "The tsunami reached up to here. Do not build below this line."
    Of course, centuries later with no major tsunami incidents, the Japanese had forgotten and built many coastal towns below the tsunami line. And then this one happened.
    Still, I find it very clever that the ancient Japanese would leave a warning to their descendants in this way. I don't know of any other seafaring culture that has done something like that. Very wise, what great foresight!

      @@april926 It’s called going into shock. Not everyone responds the same way to tragedy because it registers differently and at different points. The excitement could just be that one can’t believe this is happening and though it may seem exciting at first it’s because their brain hasn’t or can’t process the devastation it’s about to cause. I tend to freeze during an emergency; I can’t physically move. There have been a couple of times that I froze and if my friends wouldn’t have shouted for me to run and get out of the way, I don’t know where I’d be.

    I am Japanese. At that time I was still in elementary school third grade and I was doing music class at that classroom then. I suddenly felt that there was a big tremor and it was shaking for a long time. It was frightening. People in the afflicted areas feel a bigger shake and I am sad if I think that they suffered from the earthquake. We should not be crushed for such a deceased person for those who died. We will not lose. Absolutely stand up.

I can’t even begin to fathom what the people of Japan still live with. It reminds me of my brother and sister-in-law. They’ve lost five babies, and she’s now 7 months pregnant and has COVID. They’ve been too terrified to plan for the baby actually surviving. Their previous traumas have robbed them of the joy of expectancy. Same with the people of Japan. The trauma has re-mapped their way of being and navigating life. Thank you, Alexandra, for sharing this bit of wisdom and insight. Hope you are well ❤️

      Although there were warnings, I don't think anyone realized how bad it would get. In many other videos, you hear people saying "wow, amazing" in a cheerful manner. But the moment that water went over the barriers you could hear the emotional pain in their voices. "What is this? What is this hell?" Just really in shock that their towns were gone.
      Lots of people got swept in with their homes because of this and many people were never found unfortunately.

    I live in the Pacific northwest in america.... we are 500yrs pass due for a earthquake larger then what Japan had that day. Seattle is suppose to fall into the Puget sound, we are surrounded by the cascade mountains, with only 2 passes (Steven's and snoqualmie pass) as our only exit to the eastern side of Washington, we also have Canada's border which is 3 hrs away which if assuming correct will be opened up for us to evacuate to so we can make our way back into the USA via idaho's border, we also have ferries, but they will have no docks to allow people to walk or drive their cars onto, we also have Oregon state, but theres a huge bridge that passes over a huge river as its main access into both states and the other ways are via very windy and blind curve mountains. Locals in Seattle that are born and raised here have 2 drills we practiced monthly, fire and earthquake drill... wasnt till I was 15 that I realized not all of America does earthquake drills. I've personally survived 2 big quakes, been alive to see mt st Helens blow some ash in 2015, oso landslide killed 45-50 people and my cousin lived less then 3 miles from it. I've been raised to expect locals to be first responders here, all locals are raised and trained to know how to handle a earthquake, but the scary thing for us is..... those who live through it we wont have a home left. Seattle is presumed to collapse as its half man made on very soft landfill, we have mt st Helen, mt rainier, mt Baker all currently quiet in their own way, but the big one as the locals call it is expected to probly call Helen to loose her ash again, Rainier if she awakens will devastating in her own as shell wipe all any valley west of the cascades, and no one knows how Baker will do. but with that one being up north could easily block Canada for the locals down here, and depending on where the big one hits, it could trigger a tsunami that wiped out all the towns along the Pacific Ocean including our naval bases and military bases. Locals dont expect help from the outside for weeks due to how much damage will be, our infrastructures are ancient compared to modern cities should be, the east side will probly be able to intact to a point, but they literally are running monthly emergency drills now in town and all locals are being asked to volunteer in it to keep our training up. But in the end, our devastation here is bordering on making half of Washington state unlivable for years due to how bad the rebuild will be and we have the longest floating bridge and the second longest floating bridge in the world that connects us into seattle.... those break and the locals in Seattle are screwed.

If you are too late, rush into a tall building, get to the top of building. So the rescue team could find out easily.
