Even though most of japan’s structures are made to go against earthquakes, seeing skyscrapers swaying like that must be terrifying
they are designed to sway
Weeeee
Anyone would be terrified, but if it doesn't sway, it would fall.

@irlan hakim bruh
I was literally searching up on Tsunamis out of curiosity only to realize it's March 11, 2021. Exactly a decade since this has happened.
Yeah...
The new beginning is near natural disasters happen every decade and gets 10x worse.
@irlan hakim And I'm an ex-Muslim. Was born into the religion, but after years of much evaluation left it because of inconsistencies and lack of logical sense. Keep in mind, I find this to become of all religions, not just Islam. A higher power, or a higher entity such as a God may exist but there's no doubt in my mind that religion itself was created by man. To tie such an entity like a God to such religions I find, to be, insulting considering the deity's attributes. The concept of religion will soon slowly start to wash away and won't become as prominent as it once was in our lives as technology and our understanding of the world develops.
@@Scribbby you keep thinking that.
On my birthday..
When the old man said this is my house... At the end.... It broke me.....he was sad but was satisfied that he is alive.
It was his house. Now it's just some planks of wood and assorted debris on some foundations. It's just... gone. The totally of destruction is unmatched in anything. Even the tsar bomba is tiny compared to the overwhelming force of the tsunami.
he senile
The fact that many didnt wait for authorities. They just knew to run to high ground... thats what saved lives that day. It was so fast. There was no time for authorities to act. The people who lived got themselves to safety. Im still surprised anyone survived that day!

people that care about others help them as Jesus did and now he is king in the heavens after dying for all humans whatever country we come from, because we are all one global race or we should and will soon be. Acts chapter 10 v 34 & 35 At this Peter began to speak, and he said: "Now I truly understand that God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him." we are all Gods creation. Man cannot bring true peace and security only Jehovah God through his son Jesus christ who will act soon according to bible prophecies that are being fulfilled right before your unknowing eyes. search for Jehovah while you can please, Jehovah wants as many to turn to him because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 2 Peter 3 v 8& 9 however on account of his chosen ones he will soon act.

The saddest part is the nuclear plant explosion. People had to go inside the plant with high amount of radiation. And they mentioned it was as bad as what happened in Chernobyl. It’s just terrible. I admire these brave heroes.
True also some people ate fish from the ocean that was been poison from the plant destroyed children now are deformed like that
i wonder if they were compensated a big amount because they were literally risking their lives and even if they survive, aftereffects may last a lifetime...
@irlan hakim bro, don't tell people to read your holy book like that, just don't. you're not respecting their beliefs
Sadder still is without Chernobyl’s experience and the sacrifices those men made then, Fukushima would have been utterly catastrophic
@irlan hakim we get your passing your religion on but your commenting on one of the top 5 earthquakes in the entire world and you decide to comment this? Cop on please. Millions of peoples jobs, houses and even lives were lost in this event. Please just stop
All credit to the people who helped in the recovery afterwards..all unsung heroes..

I was in Tokyo at that time. The quake itself was one thing, but around 200 aftershocks that followed within the next two weeks was another (of around 3 on shindo scale, which is quite apparent and can wake you up). Although those weren't massive ones, I could hardly sleep the next few nights since a shock would be coming like every 30 min to 1h. It's not panicking or anything and you know it's just nothing for Japanese buildings, but it just keeps you alerted.
I was in Kyoto
@@RandomServitor i still think it would wake you up
My cousin and her daughter had to come here in the Philippines and eventually stayed in Australia for a few months, as my niece was so scared of the aftershocks.
I remember this day very very well. I was in high school and it was the last day of my exams. I was in quite a happy mood but seeing the tragedy really brought me back to normal. Then a few years later some Japanese kids who were visiting my Delhi (where I lived) also came to my school and they talked about their experience. One of them even had a Geiger counter and gave us a reading of the background radiation. Later that day we played football with everyone and I was happy to see them being quite normal kids who had faced a great tragedy but had come out stronger.

There's many videos online right during the tsunami itself
I really love the way how Japanese people explain things, so detailed like a poem, it really makes you get a sense of what it was like
It's the work of the translator.
Its because they're Japanese
@@liammacdonald1515 no i think generally japanese is a very poetic language. like the translator doesn’t add or change what they say he just makes it english lol
@@emmettkasey1087 There are different ways of translating language. You could translate it word for word but you would run into grammar problems. With a language as different as Japanese, the translator needs to take a lot of liberties. What I'm saying is that the translator does need to change things and has done so very well in a very poetic way.
Like "we watched the batteries on the last cooling system for the reactor drain and did nothing until it exploded and THEN we sent men into the radioactive zone to manually control what we could"...!?
Best documentary with best selection of footage I've seen so far on this tragedy.
I was there (and still am). Japan never "hovered on the brink of collapse." Bad as the quake was, it was not the worst one to hit the country, and it was far from being Japan's worst disaster, natural or man made. It doesn't rate among the top 20 disasters to hit Japan over the last 500 years. The 1923 earthquake caused more damage and killed many times more people than the 2011 quake, and many of the frequent firestorms to hit Tokyo over the centuries killed tens of thousands at a time. In terms of loss of life, crime has killed more people in Tokyo. The deaths were not the victims of crime, but the criminals. Near Minami Senju station, not far from the Yoshiwara, is a large stone statue which looks like a Buddha. It is actually a Jizo, a buddhist saint which watches the gate to the underworld. In front of this statue as many as 200,000 criminals were executed, and this is only one of 3 major execution grounds in Tokyo. If you want to know why crime is rare in Japan, it is because for centuries the penalty for even a minor crime was death.
The Japanese are well-used to disasters, and deal with them much better than any other culture. There is no complaining, no finger-pointing, no demanding the government "do something." When disaster strikes, every person gets up, gets out, and starts doing what needs to be done to help those who need help, clean up what needs cleaning up, and rebuilding what needs to be rebuilt.
Even if this wasn’t the worst, if you went through this I’m so sorry, I’ve never had a natural disaster of any kind in my life, living In Ireland, but I hope everything was alright
Man, this is the best description of the history of Japan, by the way, i heard that the days that followed the earthquake, the groups of Yakuza of all Japan, rented a lot of trucks to transport basic necessities, blankets, food and other necessities that the people needed, yeah, the Yakuza did that, impressive!
@@Yamato-tp2kf coz the Yakuza is much like a vigilante group in Japan, theyre not all evil
@@belletim1086 yep, that's one of the reasons why they hate the Chinese triads
Yes and no. When you have a nuclear plant exploding the damage isn't contained to one country, it can seriously affect the entire world for many, many years.
last year i traveled this area, everything was ordered and clean, as if nothing had happened. even more beautiful. Ì heard Yuzuru Hanyu became olympic champion because he had decided to help people who had been suffering from the disaster.
Texas summer. You're right. Yuzuru Hanyu donates a lot money for reconstruction; from his figure skating prize monies, and from his autobiography royalties. Yuzuru also dedicates his performances to uplift people affected by the tsunami. Wonderfully compassionate young man.
🐷🐷🐷
Not really? He was already shaping up to it; the earthquake was a setback. His home rink closed down for several months because of damage.
But I guess he helped as much as the next person there, since he was based in Sendai (biggest city near the epicenter). And he also donates and participated in some fundraisers, I think.

@@rolfenblom412 I think i heard that the only area that still needs to be decontaminated is the power plant and 1or 2 km around it... but the biggest debate is about the contaminated water, some want to dump in the Mariana trench, others say that it could be decontaminated in a special installation
I was in Tokyo then and I'm still here. I was just about to go to one of my jobs when the quake struck and since I had already experienced hundreds of minor quakes noticeable and not in my many years in Japan, I knew then that this is the BIG ONE that everyone have been waiting for.
I was in my home on the 24th floor and it swayed violently for 6 minutes.
I got a cut on my arm to the bone and it took 5 hours to clean up my condominium.
I got phone calls from the embassy and officials from my home country in the days that followed.
Hundreds of quakes followed in the following weeks so living a normal was a hardship.
Prayers to those who succumbed and their families.

@@beharysudheer21 Never really saw the tsunami, we just heard it, though smthn this documentary fails to mention is that tsunamis have more than one wave, in 2010 we had 3 big ones, usually the second one is worst, there's nothing to slow it down
@@FreddyBobby17 Yeah ur right.
@@FreddyBobby17 .
I remember waking up to this news and as we as a country (Chile) had just survived the 2010's 8.8 earthquake and tsunami, the whole coastline was alerted and all type of activities were suspended for the day because of the possibility of a tsunami affecting us too. Nothing happened in the coasts of Chile, but God, we were scared to go through that again :(
🌷
How come there's almost no video footage of any earthquake or tsunamis from South America despite being a recurring event? We almost knew nothing about Peru, Mexico or the Chile earthquakes. They don't use mobile phones with cameras there? Just curious.
I lived in Tokyo during this time. It was a very scary and rocky time. Even in Tokyo, 30 minutes after the quake it suddenly got very dark and cold...that was the tsunami hitting up north. My heart was broken that day for the people who lost so much xx
I remember watching this live as an 8 year old. The one time my mum let me stay up to watch tv. It was horrifying then. And still as horrifying now. Rip to all that were lost 🙏
BROOO imagine landing a plane during an earthquake..
plane would just slide off the runway and crash through the fence into some building
The plane will shake and maybe it even slides off the runway
Maybe they have a protocol in case that happens
If i was in that plane i would be like ” GO UP GO UP !”

Over reaction or not, if you can get outside immediately do, if you're with family or just at a house wait by the letterbox or street outside or to a planned location. Go into the middle of the road away from the buildings. When travelling walk or take a bike, *don't drive* in a city. This is crucial, you'll block the roads, cause panic and anger and more hazards when the water hits. Walk, you'll make it if you start as soon as the shaking stops.
Always have an emergency plan; fire, earthquakes + tsunamis. There's no such thing as over reacting when it comes to safety.
*Most important things;* Get down, get under the table or stale surface and hold. In a ball, cover the back of your neck. You could be trapped under the table or desk if the ceiling collapses but you have a bettet chance of survival than being crushed.
If you can get outside, _get outside._
→→ *"If it's long and strong, get gone."* Don't wait for a public announcement. Don't wait for the siren. You *walk* or take a *bike* and get as far up hill as you can and *_you stay there until the safety siren has been given._*
If there is earthquake weather always, always be alert. Even if 9/10 it's nothing or a storm.
*Have a plan and make sure **_everyone_** who is involved knows it.*
Even though this Doesint account for me because I live in Canada those are some good tips thanks! I'm going to Italy also witch has been getting a lot of 5.0s recently.
You probably will save a few lives in the future we need more people like you. God bless fam

Earthquakes are always unpredictable. You'll know when there's Earthquake if it's happening and there's no way to predict it like a weather forecast but your recommendation is somewhat useful
All of these people in the comments judging the earthquake victims, like the americans. Imagine if you were in this situation, of course you would panic and ask stupid questions.

Documentaries are honestly so amazing to watch, they almost make u feel how they must have felt.
Japan: Experiences the worst earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown in human history.
America: *How does this ur disaster affect us? Let’s make this about us for a change*
If that was your takeaway, you clearly didn't understand what he meant.
@Elessar r/wooooooosh
Self centered america.. Would you expect anything else?
a lot of countries with large coastal areas actually took japan's case to take greater precautions. since this documentary is in america, it's natural to relate it to america. but if you look more into how this catastrophe affected the world, specially for the countries within the pacific ring of fire, you'll see how it ignited a lot of paranoia and governments are taking actions.
I get your point, but also keep in mind that nuclear meltdowns aren't contained in just a country. The effects go very far and wide for many, many years. It can be destructive even to the unsuspecting so, yeah, it's a world issue.
24:52 MAN “But a 3rd disaster is about to strike.” ME “oh come on another one, hasn’t Japan suffered enough.”
Japan is like a magnet for consecutive disasters. The craziest one was in 1923 - The Great Kanto Earthquake. The disaster list within 24 hours includes:
+ Magnitude 8.0 earthquake
+ House fires
+ Typhoon
+ Landslides
+ Tsunami
+ A GOD DAMN MASSIVE FIRE TORNADO
+ Survivor-created mob killings of ethnic Koreans.
Seriously, Japan is a fucking master at bouncing-back. The capital of Japan in the past 350 years has practically burnt down 4 times. [Back when the capital was Kyoto]
They're practically world pros when it comes to surviving major disasters, and being able to bounce back remarkably quickly.
Toasty McGee It’s understandable when you live right besides the place the creates disaster. One case in point would be the super typhoon Haiyan which the Philippines bore the brunt of that disaster
@@jessbellis9510 The great Kanto earthquake had multiple aftershocks, themselves strong enough to cause destruction, before the main shaking had stopped. In total it lasted about 12 minutes as they all flowed into each other

The old man in the end, it broke my heart.
This was insanely intense, the immense forces taking place to move such huge volumes of seawater are mind boggling! I have no idea what an earthquake feels like, living in Australia, but that must’ve been really frightening.
Even in events like this, with so much death & destruction, good things can still result, even if it’s a lesson learned or friendship bonds. Life speeds along too quickly to be wasted on petty, superficial differences, like being offended in a country that offers way more than some, whether you see it or not.
The power of water is terrifying
It's unfathomable. My condolences go out to everyone affected by this. I was in the 1994 Northridge quake and that lasted 10 to 20 seconds. It felt like we were shaking for an hour. Can you imagine an earthquake lasting for five whole minutes? It must have felt like the world was ending.

Living in NZ we were always told if the quake goes for more than 2 minutes a tsunami is possible. I've been in 2 floods and multiple cyclones but nothing compares to experiencing a large earthquake. It just comes out of nowhere and is terrifying. I couldn't imagine going through a tsunami like this. This is just unimaginable.
If its long and strong, get gone
I lived in Japan in later 80th to early 90th and really enjoyed life style as a youngster and married to a non Japanese, no Matter how much we enjoyed life there but deep inside of our intuition that if we settle continue to live there one day we would be in trouble in the earthquake, so we left there and I didn’t feel surprised this happened just didn’t know when …
I pray for the future 💜💡💟
I’ll never forget that day honestly, just by thinking about it that brings back all the scary, terrifying memories. I’d never wanna see my grandparents cry nor go through that ever again, honestly never knew this be on CZcams.

I remember watching this live on tv… at my aunties after my family had fled from the earthquake that hit Christchurch. It was just so surreal to see what could of been and what can still be.
Watch this video brings backs so many vivid memories. Like looking down and seeing the pavement move with the quake and just how unreal the how situation feels. You feel drunk so hell during, so lucky we didn’t get a tsunami. My family lived on the second block from the beach.
I lived in Japan for 3 years and the strongest earthquake I've experience while living there is 7.4 magnitude, this was last year in March 2022 and with that I was very scared and even cried as I've never experienced anything like that before, I cannot imagine having to experience a 9.0 magnitude, I would be traumatized if I ever survived that. The 2022 was the worst in my case since it happened at night 11:30pm and we had a blackout in out city and most areas in kanto region! Imagine a 7.4 magniture earthquake without any lights while you escape from your building... and when you go outside it's like a ghosttown because of the black out. That moment, I was like "I don't wanna die like this, I don't wanna die from an earthquake and be buried by this building" in my mind. One thing I don't like about Japan is their earthquake, I know that they have no control of it but I guess it's gonna happen if its meant to happen.

To everyone in the world. I ran to the roof of the school during the Great East Japan Earthquake. A memorable hometown was destroyed in an instant. I was shocked when the tsunami subsided and I went downstairs. The person was dead. A person was dead a few meters downstairs. And the fish were bouncing. It was like having a nightmare. Everyone, don't waste this tragic experience in Japan. I don't know when a natural disaster will occur. No one knows. But you can prepare based on our experience in Japan. "Nothing is more important than life."

This is so sad, so many people died from this event and I'm happy that many lived. And I know many many people died an this was indefinitely the most tragic earthquake I've ever seen. My mom told me that it was odd that something like this would happen because usually an earthquake pushes away a tsunami, but when I watched this I was in shock how this was happening on video, something that my mom had said won't usually happen. I know that the survivors of this serious event are at least satisfied that they themselves are alive/survived this horrible event knowing that they did all they could do, and that they pray for the peaceful rest of the people who didn't survive this. I also feel guilty for only now learning about this in the near end of 2020, I'm not usually informed of these kind of things because I don't look on the news that often, and I hope people can forgive me for that. I hope the elderly, older adults, younger adults, teenagers, children, and newborns who survived this and are still living today, see this as a blessing that they are alive today, I wouldn't call this a miracle though. The only way a miracle can happen, is if you take on a challenge with your strengths, knowledge, and belief that you can do it, and make it happen. Keep fighting and stay strong, even in this situation in 2020. (I'm sorry I'd people think it sounds cheesy, or you think that I don't sound like I'm taking this seriously because all that I've written in this is how I feel about the situation that happened for real) stay safe and keep healthy ❤️
As a foreigner living alone at that time,it was the saddest time of living in Japan.All around it was quiet and darkness It was felt 300kilometers away where I live ,Panic buying ensues,I never imagine myself eating under candle lights in Japan.There's also the constant fear of a tsunami while living 3minutes by foot from the ocean.But now it's back to normal again,but the televised news is that the big one might come in the near future,?
Unlike volcanic eruptions, earthquakes are virtually impossible to predict, so i wouldn’t worry about what the televised news says, as there is no basis to their statements.
If this kind of video, does not make us count our blessings... I don't know what else would... 😔
Watching this video really breaks my heart. My deepest condolences to every family's who witnessed this horrible disaster. 😥🙏🏿
I remember learning all about geography, feels like a lifetime ago now when I was studying it. I was always fascinated by it growing up and the power of nature, so much so that I got a few A* grades doing Geography. Now as a adult the fascination is still there but I feel like the devastation it causes hits me more realistically. I still am in awe of nature and it's power and features but at the same time understand how it can impact people in the worst ways, sort of a conflicting feeling of me wanting more things to happen to admire nature but at the same time wishing it will never happen so that no one gets hurt.
No word can describe the real effect oF the disaster on the lives of the people and their livelihood as individuals, families, communities and a country as a whole. I watched the whole documentary with great sadness and a heavy heart. God save our people on this earth🌹
When I first heard the news, I wasn't feeling anything, but watching this clip with real-life accounts and governmental operation, I wept out of sheer sadness for the people of Japan.
Earthquakes are terrible, after experiencing the one in Gujarat way back in 2001 I pray that no one experience the same, my heart goes out to all those people who have been struck with this disaster and pray that God gives them solace.
Well 5.0 Mag is not that scary but 6.0 - 9.0 its more scary
You pray.. So does the ones in the middle East, and the only thing coming down from above is bombs.. Now shut your filthy mouth and stop the bullshit, praying is useless, be honest to yourself and believe in yourself, thats all you can believe in.

But Japan got back up 🌼✨vs(??????Japan??? 4denovembrode2018?!?!?
i was 16. we were at the student center that time when students and staff suddenly rushed towards the tv. they were just saying "Japan". me and my friends came to see what's going on and just couldn't believe what we saw in that afternoon news. we were all speechless watching the live broadcast of a tsunami sweeping the coastline. all i can do that time was to pray for survivors and hope they would be able to overcome the disaster.
The amount of garbage people here making jokes. Yeah sure it's been a while and no one seems to care to much now, but what the hell? To all those garbage people, how would you feel if you were one of them and someone just jokes as if it was a comedy sketch?
jokes are made out of dark and not-so-good shit but i get where ur coming from thanks for stating this
Well, as they say, dark humor is like food, not everybody gets it.
@@Shijaru64 LMFAO
@@thatb0bguy544 there are dark jokes and then there are sick joke's
@@richardmckenzie347 and then there's straight up racism not even executed as a joke
The Epicentre was 80 miles out on sea.... imagine if it hit mainland
It would've not triggered such powerful tsunami or if it triggered much weaker one :((
@@omixed7367 thats for sure but the earth quake would of been worse I guess.
Smaller tsunami but most buildings wouldve collapsed
They are waiting for such off of Miami, Los Angeles..
2 major events but the power plant would be in a worse shape
I was so glad that many countries including Canada help them recover from this disaster 😥 rip to the people who died during this disaster 🙏
R.I.P to those 14000 who are still missing.
Guy @ 20:11 was like "Oh crap tsunami better hurry up with my tv in my hands"
It’s not a tv , it’s a kerosene room heater .
earthquakes are one of the very few things that terrify me, right up their with mass shootings.
maybe because i live in Australia, so those things are almost unheard of here, so if it where to happen, who knows how our emergency services would respond?
Yeah, the usual natural disaster we had in my country is floods, yearly floods. Some season it got pretty bad and some just mild. Really couldn't comprehend any scale of any disaster but it made me thinking maybe I need a set of quick escape plan :(
I know that's me I live in Australia
@IFeelMT That's horrible..but better it's safe than sorry...maybe you need an aps that track earthquake and has tsunami warning alert too. Never thought I would witness many bad tsunamis or huge world record earthquake in my lifetime but yeah all these natural disasters are getting more frequent it's totally scary!
I guess bushfires to floods to worry about here in Australia. But I get your point. Imagine a 9.0 off the west coast of New Zealand, triggering a tsunami like this heading towards the east coast of Australia... Crazy shit!
yeah i live in the UK and we don’t get anything like that here, mostly just floods or storms. It looks so scary
Such an illustrative documentary, deserves an Oscar and more
Jeez, seeing as how I’ve lived my entire life in a country that doesn’t get earthquakes or tsunamis, watching this is just like…..whoa, I can’t even imagine dealing with a disaster of this magnitude.
Same, I’ve only dealt with 1 in my lifetime
U cant deny the nature has the strongest power ever
Japan engineering is the best against earthquake
engineering is the Best against earthquake vs( Japan?????4denovembrode2018???? 36:17
The amount of discipline japanese have always amazes me , in 2014 our city was hit with floods which drowned 2-3 floors of houses and the chaos was so real , everyone was directed to move to higher grounds , our house was located not very prone to floods so we could stay but my mom still sent us to my aunt she lived uphills , and i was there for about 3 weeks , phones weren’t working, people could only communicate through radios and tv , every day I wondered how my parents are doing, felt so bad every single day for leaving alone , i was 12 at that time but the fear was real , i would cry at night because i missed my parents and didn’t know how they were doing, thankfully they were fine , the flood didn’t reach our house
I can’t imagine the pain of people who survived without their family , there is always a sense of survival guilt left inside you , my heart goes to everyone for staying calm through the disaster
I was living in Tokyo at the time of the earthquake. I was still very small and I don't remember everything too clearly, but one thing I do remember was how much the buildings were swaying. It legit looked like they were going to topple, but thankfully Japanese architecture prevented that from happening. I'm glad I was in a relatively safe area though, there was no flooding and the radiation from the Power plant wasn't too bad where I lived, although we still evacuated Tokyo for about a month or so because of the radiation risk.
あの時、本当に怖いのは地震より津波だと多くの日本人が知る事になりました。
しかし、それは日本の技術によるものだという事も理解しています。
とても大きな揺れだったのにも関わらず、当時築40年だった家は今も健在です。
I’m so sorry for those who lost their lives Rest In Peace 😔 🙏
I remember seeing this on the news while I was getting ready to go to school.
I think it's why I'm so interested in earthquakes and tsunamis now, seeing all that destruction and just having to go and have a normal day at school was... A lot
1. Shaking Earth
2. Raging ocean
3. Invisible deadly Radiation
Prayers for those who lost their lives. Salute to the bravehearts who faught to save others.
Love and respect from India 🇮🇳
seriously that american dude is kinda annoying like hes just trying to make it more dramatic instead of actually providing actual facts on what happened
True
where did ten's hair go there’s multiple American dudes
It is a dramatic traumatic event from just one section of Earth subduction..
In 22 minutes a wide quiet river flowing down stream was over come by a 30/40mph torrent of ascending water rising by 10 ft, closely followed by a torrent of debris filled water, taking what was left unsecured on the ground..
Glad I was'nt there..Fortunately..
@@tokyoto1 LMAO IKR this comment was made like a year ago and looking back i have no idea who I was referring to as well lol
@@wheredidtenshairgo7729 LMFAO
Amazing documentary! the thing with Japanese buildings is that they can't build with concrete or it'll be dangerous in Earthquakes and also can't build with wood or it'll be dangerous in Tsunamis.
natural disaster always has a way of bringing people together. thats the beauty of being human
japan is most prepare country for this kind a disaster but still we are helpless with mother nature
wow the earthquakes i experience doesnt even last for more than 30 seconds and youre telling me this lasted for more than 5 mins? i would have been crying istg. im having goosebumps all over
Seeing the pain on the face of the old man when he says this is my home and that breaks my heart sooo bad😭😭😭
Japanese people are heroes!!!! Respect!!!!!
It's sad how many people had to die so violently that day. And most of them would have lived if they had gone to higher ground immediately after the sirens but now we have learned that tsunamis can reach incredibly far and in the future what we have learned from this will save thousands of lives.
My heart goes out to all those japanese people, it was terrible thing to have happen. I'm glad my country has a strong allegiance with Japan because they are great people.
This is just awful, i only seeing this now, i heard there was a earthquake but had no idea what it had done. Wiping away a whole towns like that. The older people who need care must have Parrish as well, to all of Japan my heart go's out for all who lose there lives and there processions. It's incredible lose and beyond my comprehension. Learning 26 thousand people died, my god give you all strength.
Thank you so much for sharing this video with your audience!
600 MILLION TIMES THE HIROSHIMA AROMKC BOMB? HOLY SHIIIIIIIT
Great coverage of the tsunami. Too bad there are so many ads. Really detracts from the film.
My birthday is March 11th. I remember I was in college and my classmates were singing Happy Birthday to me then this news broke out. I don't know if it was really a happy day. We were also terrified that the quake/tsunami will affect us too. Btw I am from Philippines.
Same here😞It was my birthday and had the worse feelings ever . It sucks, Btw how old are? maybe we're at same age while this happend
and thanks god your country survive this . RIP for those who die
You can't prevent a disaster like this. No sea wall can withstand that power. It will happen over and over again.
A 5 minute earthquake? That’s wild
