And wats crazy they reported it to be a 3m But the biggest one before this one was 6m Now this is the one for the record books😔

Murphy's Law always, but always applies. Double what they say and then double it again. You certainly don't go down to the sea front to watch as many did.

But it wasn't here that had 15m waves right? Isn't this place a bit too far north to have the biggest impact?

Sad that most of the deaths were the elderly. Those who were unable to leave there homes or out run a tsunami. Very sad. Imagine being stuck home and your son or daughter is at work and you are helpless. No one there to come save you. Just waiting for the tsunami to come sweep your house away with you in it. Can't imagine how scary that must have been.

> The biggest ever recorded in Japan before was 6m Incorrect. There are many known 20m+ tsunamis in Japanese history.

The highest Japanese wave was 90 m in 1700s. The biggest known wave was 1700 ft high in Alaska.

In a good number of cases, the drivers were trying to reach their families, there loved ones - the alternative - there is the idea of tsunami tendenko (proceeding separately/fending for yourself) and hope to join up after, rather than before, a widespread and imminent danger wasting the chance to escape. Watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd-di5N7ma2comw.html Tendenko: Surviving the Tsunami | Witness Al Jazeera English

Saw the video on Tendenko and it was very good. “Don’t look back”. The reason for doing this is to keep people going up and not down to look for family. There were very good numbers on survivors. A lady had to let go of her grandfather’s hand, fortunately a couple of men managed to get him up the hill.

They are just big empty cleared fields, some of them have memorials built, and a couple of them left a single standing gutted building frame as a memorial.

some people are retards.

I was thinking the same in many of this kind of YT movies, they had warnings and 30 minutes time to go to higher grounds,!!!, as you said, maybe they thought that it was not that worse as it showed later..............

At the time, at ground level, the sea was mostly invisible, the vast majority of the people had absolutely no idea of what was happening. You can say lots of things in retrospect.

Its here not that heavy because this city was obviously very far away from the epicenter compared to other citys..

The ships were moving oddly because of eddies caused by the strong currents. All waves eventually hit a shore at about 90º so the less than devastating impact was due to the size of the tsunami and local geography above and below the surface.

Siamo sicuri che sia tutta opera di madre natura? O c è l intervento dell uomo? Ormai sappiamo che con l operazione popeye gli USA provocavano piogge devastanti già negli anni 60. Nel 2000 sappiamo che hanno affinato le loro tecnologie e possono provocare maremoto, terremoti, tornado e altri disastri. Il problema è che le persone non si informano e credono che sia tutto casuale. NON LO È

Yah, looks like it was well controlled after it was dragged by water but no great boat pilot could navigate well on a crazy water so let's just keep guessing.

That is possible, I’ve done it in rafts, just a crazy hard turn

Psycotria. The Japanese had absolutely no idea of the magnitude of the coming tsunami . To say they were behaving stupidly (as in not heading for safe buildings ,not driving on the shoreline) is incorrect .The information they based their decisions on was not right for this event . Previous tsunamis could not prepare them for these colossal waves . This monster could never have been expected . Now of course it is different . Now they are very very aware of what they could expect , and at great cost Japan is now building defence structures that really would stop a monster if required to do so .

@@lindacarruthers3423 Hi! A reply after 9 years!... Japanese are educated about tsunamis from an early age. They experience several tsunamis a year, most not exceeding 1 ft. As the negative wave came first, they watched the water flow out for almost an hour in places. Also, they were being continuously warned that a "major tsunami" was forming. The size was indicated by the amount of water that receded. Several factors combined to produce a sharp rise in amplitude that caught many by surprise. I never said they were "behaving stupidly" Those are your words. Take care.

@@psycotria Hello . I thought I qualified my use of the word ‘stupidly’ etc by using brackets . I apologize if it seemed I attributed that word to you . I wrote as I did since I couldn’t bear the thought of there seeming to be even a hint of criticism toward the Japanese in light of the horrible events Japan experienced . Also I had read that though the population is of course prepared for the arrival of a tsunami, they really had not imagined the size of this one . I read that Brazil had experienced a tsunami fairly close to that time , and apparently much of the populace based their behaviour on how that one behaved .the Brazil tsunami was smaller . I was born in NewZealand where we had regular earthquake drills throughout our school life , and sometimes towns ran earthquake drills . The real thing is very different from any drill , ( Christchurch earthquake) and I would imagine this tsunami was one heck of a shock despite preparation . Be that as it may , sorry if my remarks struck you as critical to your comment and I’m glad of your effort in writing in response .

@@lindacarruthers3423 for that reason.... head to the hill, the highest posible. Always PREPARE for the worst and hope for the best.

I just watched a video about this particular city, and apparently the sea hit a peninsula which pushed it north instead of into the city. The amount that was making it in was mostly held in by the sea walls but apparently one person still died there.

Thank you.

brother how u saying no one died in 14ft tide thailand tsunami was 14 feet higth and 8thousand people died in thailnd tsunamii 2004

@@queemkhan2216 This is Japan, not Thailand. What are you talking about? This area wasn't as badly hit as some areas which is what Max is saying!

@@queemkhan2216 I read that only one person died in that city because the tsunami had not as much strength as in southern cities and towns. Other areas were much worse, but this city wasn't

Patricia White Some of them rode out to sea and over the waves and were ok. They even have footage of going over the wave.

If they are unmoored and powered up, they can go out to sea and ride among the waves. Otherwise, they would just suffer the same fate as those cars still travelling when the tsunami is just mere meters behind them.

Honestly, I've lived in enough places, to have realised it's a nationality thing. Some folks are weirdly slow, by nature. People in the states would leave immediately, but people in lower income areas of the states don't always have a means to make a quick exit. It's very sad and goes to show life isn't fair. If you hear the sirens or see people scrambling, key with it, and GET OUT!

Também não sei.

If they were already on their boat, engine running, they might make it far enough out to sea to not be drawn back in by the tsunami. But, with the larger ones especially, it can take 15 mins or more to start a cold marine engine and bring it up to full power. They are also extremely slow to maneuver which is a bad thing if they are turned sideways in heavy swells. Also, they not only have to contend with the wave height but the movement of the entire body of water. It would be like trying to outrun a landslide while the ground beneath you is moving in the opposite direction. Much of the oral history on tsunami told by Japanese talks about people who return to the ocean too soon, either out of curiosity or concern for neighbors, and are never seen again. Of fishermen who try to save their boats, a seemingly safe venture, only to capsized from the relentless pounding of the water. In short, unless I'm already underway I'd get off the boat and save myself. I can always get another boat, especially if I have some form of insurance.

@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 thank you for replying and explaining this too me. Much appreciated.

TSUNAMI!!!!

*gets to high ground*

Nah, gotta take a selfie first.

Naw.....me getting to high ground right after the earthquake. You can wait for the announcement if ya wants...... (But to be fair, they get tsunami warnings all the damn time, and they are like only 1m high (and if you got walls, so biggie).....so years go by like this....decades......even generation for some towns..... so that kind of pattern could create a false sense of security or lack alertness (attentive, scared seriousness) to those kind of warnings.....until a freak record breaking tsunami terrifies everyone again.)

@@tinageekbeta Yeah, people get complacent. But almost everybody said that this earthquake was a lot more violent than the others they'd experienced. Should have been warning enough. Oh well, maybe these videos will help keep the memory alive for coming generations.

There was one small white fishing boat that looked like one person was on it....and boy was he steering it clear of roof tops and debris.... impressive. He probably saved it boat with those mad skillz. I'd love to hear his story.

It's not rocket science.

The tsunami sirens were NOT consistently sounded in all places at the same time. Sirens in some places only sounded after the tsunami had already overwhelmed the shorelines.

Not all towns have sirens. And the ones that do only go off when someones turns them on or makes announcement which could have significant lag time....or worse if utilities effected by the record breaking earthquake they just had.The tsunami hit the coast in 20 min after beginning of a record breaking earthquake that lasted for over 9 minutes plus many after shocks. Many people were still experiencing aftershocks and trying to cope with THAT as the water was already rising in places it never rose before. The coast sank as well as record breaking tsunami....it is just insane. Japan also has a large aging population compared to rest of world due to extremely low birth rate. So you have a small window of reaction time and the luck of how close you are to high ground. There were huge areas where most people were not even near high ground at all, so what could they do? So many variables in play when you have such a natural disaster.

Be the odd looter too

They abuse those sirens, they use them for nothing all the time so people stop paying attention, my town has a disaster siren that they run EVERY DAY to "test" it

As far as I was able to determine about 45% of the drivers anywhere near the water perished and 95% of any at the water's edge died as well. The water came up and just lifted them off the road and into the churning water; they didn't stand a chance.

there was only one death in Hachinohe, a local lady drove her husband to his boat so he could steam out to see, she was caught in her car trying to get back to high ground. He and the boat were saved.

You can't generalise like that, it isn't fair. They may have children they're trying to get to, perhaps they didn't think it would be so bad, or how fast it came in some places. Or elderly family who would find it difficult to get to somewhere high. Sometimes it really is better to say nothing!
