Tectonic plates: "oh sorry dude pushed u a little", "ah no problem man" Humans: _tsunami_

I once witnessed a natural disaster around 10 years ago it was the birth of my brother.

I'm a survivor of tsunami and earthquake disasters 2018 in Palu, Indonesia. It was a really frightening moment for me being the one of all people whom running away for our lifes. People carrying their own kids, babies, crying, hungry and praying for their safety. But I'm glad today we are slowly recovering because the hand of good people working tirelessly for humanity and charities came from across the globe.

0:22 “I wouldn’t be so shore” Ha, I sea what you did there

whatever the topic is this guy will remind you about extinction

People with fear of oceans: I'll be safe on land Tsunamis: Are you sure about that?

How to survive: 1: be a camera man 2: go on a mountain

4:33 Anyone else's parents would just laugh at them? I know for a fact that if I warned my parents they wouldn't listen to me. They'd say "You're overreacting, let's have a nice day at the beach".

This guy makes me feel like doomsday is around the corner

This guy can make "you won the lottery" sound bad

I know the animations of the waves look like that to help us picture the tsunami and because a big wave is universally associated with tsunami but it's not how it looks like in real life. You don't really see a gigantic wall of water like in the movies. The water usually recedes, then comes back quickly (often foaming like a wave at the beach but not that bigger than usual). But the water keeps coming and coming and rising, overflowing walls and buildings and sweeping anything not bolted down with itself. So it's not a gigantic wave but more of a steady but very quick rise in water that often reaches few stores high. Of course there might be waves by the shore, it's caused by friction so it's kinda typical, also currents and whirlpools too but it's not really how we usually picture a tsunami and not how it's pictured in most of the clips here

plants: Oh look its water! *tsunami comes* Plants: Ok thats TOO MUCH WATER

2020: "WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!"

Ridddle: you have 20 min to run 6.2 miles Everyone on the beach: *I am speed*

[Tide recedes abruptly] “Hey guys, Has the ocean always had a really big health bar above it?”

I am from Sri Lanka. I remember that on December 26, 2004, we were also affected by the earthquake in Sumatra. It came to us like a tsunami. Many people died. May those who died in these calamities find rest in peace😥 We likes your videos🙂

*Why are you giving 2020 ideas?!* P.S I live in the coast facing the Pacific Ocean, good gravy, have mercy.

This guy can be talking about grains of sand and still make my spine shiver.

When he explained how fast those waves travel I immediately thought of myself always going 80 mph on the freeway! Damn! That's almost 10 times as fast!

I've friend who originated from Aceh. He moved to my JH school because of that 26th December 2004 Tsunami of Aceh. He lost parents and 3 siblings that day, never found their body. Whenever he heard wave like sound, he will run to the mosque. Then came back laughing and apologized that he can't control that fear and like his body moves on it's own. That's my first time see what trauma really is.

Don't ya love when ridddle answers questions almost nobody asked? He makes it sound interesting even when it's not. Love it.

I was only 8 years old when I witnessed the last deadliest Tsunami back in 2004. It was just the day after Christmas. December 26th. 1000s of lives were taken away into the ocean along with the massive water. (250,000+ lives worldwide) That day will never be forgotten. 🇱🇰

I was caught in a tsunami at Del Mar, California in 1964. The Anchorage earthquake that destroyed Fairbanks, Alaska sent a surge down the coast. I was on the beach and the water receded and I went down to check it out... Then this wall of white water came and carried me all the way up to the bluffs... The water was full of sand and every time I tried to stand my legs got knocked out from under me, so I "starfished" and dug my hands and feet down into the sand and I anchored myself as best I could... The water was only about a foot deep by that time. Coolers and picnic baskets were bobbing in the surf. All surfers and picnicers left the beach in a great hurry.

The fact that I’m at the beach watching this. In the Atlantic Ocean, I’m scared now.

'if you think it doesn't concern you, I wouldn't be so sure..' *Laughs in African*

Surfers be like “that’s THEE wave. I must ride it.”

"If you think you never have to worry about it you might be wrong." *Me who lives over 200 miles away from the ocean:* think I'm good

Seeing the images from the Indian Ocean tsunami on the day it happened, with people getting swept away to drown or get torn up by the swirl of debris, was nightmare inducing. Not to mention the aftermath in places like Banda Aceh. The worst natural disaster I can remember or have even heard about.

Don’t worry your search history is safe with me!

Tsunamis are no joke for sure. So are those damned rogue waves that come out of nowhere

Fantastic! ,,,,,Very beautifully narrated. Cannot be anymore better. Thank you very much. George

You know when you move your hand threw water and it's hard just imagine how much force that is to push all that water up it's crazy to think about

I still remember when I was living in Concepcion (Chile), in 2010, and the earthquake started at 3h34 in the morning, this one has a magnitude of M.w 8.8, in my home we evacuated to the hills because in Chile we learn since we are children, that if you feel an earthquake and you can't stand, and if you are living in the coast, you need to leave your home and go to a hill, because in 20 minutes the tsunami will get you. And yes, I remember the Tsunami

His voice is entertaining, i also love what if's voice

I watched a documentary a while back about the Alaskan event in that lake, they called it a, "Mega-Tsunami" and said if a mass big enough fell into an ocean, it could devastate coastlines.

Legend has it, the narrator's children are too scared to sleep after their bedtime story.

Me: trying to sleep peacefully. Recommendation: How Giant Tsunamis Work? Me: I am in B I T C H

Him: Dont rush to postpone vacations Me: Kalm Him: The biggest Danger is the Ring of Fire Me: *realising I live on the Ring of Fire* Me: PANIK

Narrator: "If you think [tsunamis will] never concern you, think again." Me who lives in Utah: *"Haha, bitch. I'm six parallel universes ahead of you!"*

Couldn't imagine experiencing a tsunami or any nature disaster at night. Literally a nightmare

"if you think they will never concern you, i wouldnt be so sure" me in the middle of the US o_o

When this narrator ends most of his sentences, I almost expect a - "I don't know who you are, but I will find you, and I will drop you in a tsunami."

when i was in japan at the age of 12 in 2011 it was disaster seeing everything is going to be flooded alarm were everywhere my family were driving as far as possible from the shore and everyone were shouting, felt like end of the world but im alive today it was wonderful moment of my life

I appreciate your and your editor's hard work for providing such animated informative videos.

Yes I do, I lost my beloved parents😢😢 in 2004 Tsunami hit Sri Lanka, where my parents were in the Train washed away by the waves😢😢😢😢😢

If this man would be my grandpa I would love to hear all his stories over and over again.

I experienced an earthquake of 7.1 mag 2 years ago while hanging out at my friend’s house, it was small for a few seconds and all a sudden it shook violently where a bunch of the paintings fell and the light were turning on and off, me and my friends ran from the second floor to the first and outside to the streets, his fish pond i’d say 15% of the water went out because of the earthquake, where i lived was an island and I’m glad that there weren’t any tsunami that night

I have no problem in the water but stories about dangerous waters get my imagination going and my palms get sweaty. Its like a phobia but completely imagined.

Thank god Tilly paid attention in class. If it was the younger me in that situation ..... we all would have been swept away

The outstanding part about tsunamis is that they dont have to be tall to be deadly. Even a 3 meter tall tsunami can be devestating and destoy intire buildings and kill people.

This is part of the reason why I’m so happy to live in Toronto, an area where you never ever have to worry about major natural disasters. The worst we ever get is the occasional powerful thunderstorm or very brief small tornadoes, that cause very little damage. We don’t have earthquakes, we don’t have hurricanes, the only flooding we get are in very tiny segments of the city it doesn’t affect the general population at all. In fact I would go as far as saying it’s probably one of the safest cities in the world in regards to natural disaster, and even though we do have gun violence, it’s nothing compared to most other big cities. I know that has nothing to do with tsunami’s, but if we’re talking about safety, I’m thrilled that I was born, I have spent my entire life here, on the shores of Lake Ontario, which will never ever produce a tsunami, because it’s too small, and we have no major faultlines anywhere that can produce something so horrific and powerful. We’ve had some pretty rough storms, what compared to what the rest of the world has faced, it’s just a drop in the bucket. I’ve never seen a tsunami in person, and I pray that I never have to, after watching KZfaq videos, my heart breaks for the hundreds of millions of people all over the world that have been affected by noches tsunami‘s but by the earthquakes that create them. It’s just so ironic that the one thing that we cannot live without, can also be the one thing that can completely kill every single one of us in seconds. Nature is not something to be taken for granted, not something to be ignored or mistreated, but something to be appreciated, respected, and never ignored, there’s a reason they have a saying “never turn your back on the ocean“. I have friends, actually many friends that lost their entire family and they tsunami‘s that happened in the Indian ocean and then again in Japan, I’ve seen the devastation and the resulting never ending pain survivors feel. For what it’s worth, I offer my heartfelt sympathy for every single person devastated.

Imagine being able to get a video of those plates popping above and below each other like that.

"it doesn't ALWAYS recede before the tsunami, so relying on this sight alone isn't enough".....My anxiety thanks you

I've never seen a tsunami but I've witnessed dozens of flash floods but the most awe inspiring natural disaster I've seen was a massive tornado back in 1999. Me and my dad were on a cross country trip and found ourselves in Oklahoma City that day in '99 when they got hit hard. I don't remember what the rating of the tornado was or how many there were that day, I just remember parking our truck underneath an overpass to avoid the huge hail beating down on us that were about the size of baseball's and I remember looking back at our camper trailer rocking side to side like giants were fighting on each side trying to roll it over onto the other. But the scariest part of that day was looking out my dad's window and seeing in the distance a massive black wall moving across the horizon and realizing it was a tornado and exactly how big it was. We were dozens of miles away and still it seemed to take up half of the skyline. I'll never forget that trip. It was fated to be full of amazing experiences, most of which were wonderful and now that my dad has passed I will cherish the memories of everything that happened good and bad.

I love the narrator! He makes everything interesting and engaging.

The nightmares I've had with tsunamis are so cinematic and terrifying.

Narrator: “If you think they’ll never concern you, I wouldn’t be too sure” Me: * In Kansas * 👁👄👁

0:19 "You may think this doesn't concern you, but..." Really? Because the closest shore to me is 55 miles away and I live on a mountain. If that tsunami can reach me, the entire country is gonna have issues.

“But don’t think that for salvation it’s enough to notice the behavior of water in time” -Riddle 2020

This is the best way to explain what is the tsunami... the fact is we are so weak vs the nature...thank you

To all people who are reading this may our lord protect us in this pandemic in the name of God. 🙏

The 1% who See's this i pray you become successful in life 🤞

Nice job. Broadcast quality presentation, unlike most videos on KZfaq.

i was like, wait this must be a old video, why is there a km to mile conversion, than i seen was a 2020 video... love it just for that!

His voice isn't the last thing I want to hear when I go to the beach😅😅

Riddle: only once a decade waves of 10m come. Waves at Nazare: am I a joke to you?

Fantastic video, thank you!

This channel is lowkey teaching me sm

“If you are having second ideas about holidays…” Corona is the only reason I can’t go on holiday XD So far… ‘--'

10:07 *Laughs in "whole country is in the Pacific ring of fire"

Tsunamis in movies look like there moving so slow until there right INFRONT OF YOU!!

Beautiful scenery, intertaining and knowledgeable.

2020: Ep. 1: Missiles Ep. 2: Feeling sick? Ep. 3: Co-RONNA-virus Ep. 4: That must sting Ep. 5: BLACK LIVES, MATTA? Ep. 6: Fuel, anyone? Ep. 7: War Zone Ep. 8: Explosive Ep. 9: There's 2 of them? Ep. ?: Underwater

This video makes tsunamis seem like sentient beings who are hell - bent on destruction.

I and my family was also a victim of 2004 Andaman Nicobar tsunami . I saw things like ocean ripping off the head of coconut trees. , Water filling up the airport , even street's of Port Blair was flooded with Salt and dark water . I wonder how Jarwas and Sentinels survived .

Such an amazing video found it very informative. Thank you.

The best voice over ever.

Ok? The timing is weird. It's August and sh*t is happening. So you mean we should expect tsunami soon?

Ohh my god I love your Voice! Im from germany and the germany voices from videos like this are just boring.. Your voice is amazing

The bathymetry also dictates how high the waves will be when they approach the coast as well as just how and when the waves breaks agasint the coast. As was the case in banda ache in 2004. It can magnifying the waves or even help protect the coast. Just depends

I survived a cloud burst and resulting landslides and flash flooding in the himalayas 15 years back. I still get shivers from the thought of it.

Great video! I've been through a few tsunami warnings when I lived in Alaska as well as a 7.2 earthquake.

This guy is brilliant smart so listen and tell friends and families so they are always prepared.

Very good👍 video👍🎥

0:19 "You may think this doesn't concern you, but..." Me, living at an elevation of 8,000ft..........

That seen from 2012 when the tsunami covers Mt Everest is the best tsunami seen ever.

I have been on a ship 5 miles from the epicenter of 5.0 roughly aftershock earthquake. This is back in 2004 in the indian ocean on a ship that displaces 90,000 tons. Let's just say it sounded like someone flicked the hull of the ship and nearly put me on my posterior while walking down the P-way.

Dude, your voice fits with these videos so well, it makes the video even more enjoyable

Video: "If you think they don't concern you i wouldn't be so sure.* Me: living in Austria....

3:45 - “that’s what many people have done when encountering a tsunami FOR THE FIRST TIME.” Well I think after this video explaining how destructive a tsunami can be, I don’t think they’d be experiencing it again

The fact that I've never heard someone stress the "T" on tsunami so perfectly lol

Collecting shells is what they do when encountering a tsunami for the FIRST time. So you're telling me people have been through more than one ?

3:00 Thought the Avengers theme will start playing.

Good job kid, you’re what I refer to as a hero

How tsunamis form: the water go way back from shore, then they make the huge waves.

Thanks dude, I was planning on relaxing today, now I’m thinking about dooms day :\

I have witnessed Hurricane Irene, which destroyed half a neighborhood in 2011, a year before the infamous Sandy of 2012. I can assure you that they caused more damage than any tsunami.

story time even though nobody asked :D So I remember I was at the zoo that I lived not too far away from. We were on the train ride going around the whole zoo visiting all the amazing animals. What we didn’t know was that there was an earthquake while we were on the train! Someone called the people who were accompanying me and told them to go back to their home. We didn’t feel any part of the earthquake though which was why they didn’t stop the ride. The person on the phone explained to us there was a minor earthquake and was confused how we didn’t feel it. I didn’t think much of it back then but I’m so grateful the earth quake wasn’t serious. And now I’m a lot more cautious these days so I’ll be prepared.

My Parents lived in India and after the Tsunami of 2004 it took my Mother a week to get ahold of one of her good friends, she happened to be close to the water when it hit, she saw a lady with her 2 kids, the water swept her daughter and son seoerate directions as she resued her daughter her son was too far, the last thing she heard from her son was "Mom why Won't you help me?" I can't imagine her Pain

Mention of Krakatoa reminded me of Squidward from SpongeBob, now I know that reference.
