Japan already built a tsunami wall which was 6 meters high at that time. And based on the prediction of Japanese early warning system the maximum height of tsunami at that time is 6 meter. In reality the maximum height of the tsunami is 30 meter. Many people didn't even try to evacuate.

It wasn't underestimated. Japan is, by FAR, the most prepared for tsunami country out of any country in the world. It was just THAT big.

On the other hand a shoreline nuclear reactor is a really really stupid idea.

@@sideeggunnecessary a lot of nuclear reactors are purposefully put near the shoreline so that water (which can easily absorb radiation and cool down steam rods) is readily available and there isn't a delay should there be an accident like overheating the steam rods or a steam rod breaking because if there isn't a ready supply of water it would take long to get all that water to the plant and it could cause an even worse disaster. honestly goes to show that nuclear power just isn't safe as a sustainable source of energy

i'm Japanese. I really think it was underestimated at the time. The Japanese people finally learned after that earthquake and tsunami. Just a few days ago, there was a Japanese Earthquake level 7(level 1: weak to level 7: devastation) earthquake and a 4.2 meter tsunami, Compared to that time, the Japanese people's awareness of the dangers is incomparably different.

I feel the same

Actually, for this it's a 1 in 500 year event

There was a stronger one in the 60s? Ah you mean in the world, not in Japan, right?

The strongest in the last 100 years was: 1) 1960, 9.5, Chile 2) 1964, 9.2, Alaska 3) 2004, 9.1-9.3, Indonesia 4) 2011, 9.1, Japan

Strongest since 2004***

That last part killed me 💀

Yes, I am agree, this is also the same case for the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake (M 7.9~8.0). If the earthquake has magnitude greater than M 7.0, like those M 8-ish, M 9-ish, the fault moving will not finish in a short time; so at first the prediction magnitude is lower and the area is smaller, then later the prediction magnitude is increases and the area is expanding; therefore, earthquake early warnings MUST change it's magnitude and affected area.

正確に言えば、当時も対象地域の追加が可能でしたが、東北地方太平洋沖地震ではその条件に適合しなかったため続報が発表されませんでした。

I'm just following what they showed in the TV's Earthquake early warning. Though yes the system did greatly underestimate the size of the quake.

In the recent Noto earthquake I beleive the warning on screen did "expand" as it's severity became clear.

日本語ですいません 緊急地震速報を拡大する機能がこの頃はなかったと思います。

​@@uemichi615確か地震が連鎖的に発生してさらに大きな揺れが発生しても 更新されないらしいです 今はPLUM法があるので更新されるはずです

I am agree; based on JMA, Tochigi prefecture intensity is IX/6+.

thank god that didnt happen

yeah it's unreal how long it lasts

@@exiledmonastic4650all 9s last around this long. Hell, azech sea lasted around 10 minutes due to how unusually long the fault rupture was

@@aircraftandmore9775 i didn't know. very interesting. must be crazy to be around an area where the tremors go for 10 minutes because you know that it's probably very bad not too far away

Yep, well thats the predicted wave height anyway. In reality the waves were much higher than that.

@@Shindo7earthquakedo live you in Japan or just passing through

@@mehchocolate1257 I live in Indonesia, never been to Japan though I would love to visit.

@@Shindo7earthquake I thought that you lived in Japan because of the video you made

​@@Shindo7earthquakejapanese when theres earthquake level 2 or 3 in shindo:uh huh anyways

I agree, the 1923 Kanto Earthquake (M 7.9~8.1) can be made by using this source: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l691qZt5q9m3ZXk.html

Most likely, this could have been even worse, as mt fuji could have erupted due to the seismic activity. That would have, combined with the earthquake, made a dust cloud cover Tokyo, delaying critical emergency services by possibly hours at most. “Live from Tokyo before the feed was interrupted by the ash cloud you can see alongside the shaking, the ash cloud, rolling down Mount Fuji right into the heart of Tokyo.” “The ash cloud covered the windows with dust, and combined with the shaking, it just made it worse.” “The ash cloud caused the Toyosu Natural Gas Plant, built, operated and maintained by TEPCO, to explode before starting fires due to the increased friction from the dust. TEPCO denies any responsibility of negligence due to both Fukushima and Toyosu Disasters, stating the magnitude 9.1 earthquake, and tsunami, alongside the eruption resulting from the shaking, was unpredictable, and that it would have taken a long time to fix the issues. TEPCO is still facing legal charges from victims of the two disasters.”

Yeah becauss japan is the calmest thing when earthquake so they prepare for tsusami(not alot tho) when it encounter to diffent country people will be panic and not prepare

Hello. I am Japanese from Japan. The app is called JQuake, where we can see map intensity live.「Sorry if I have bad english, I am still in train of learning」

Tochigi and Ibaraki had very big shaking and you just ignored it

Actually this earthquake have maximum intensity of IX,the 7 is the shindo

Japanese Faults Have Intensities That Are Limited To Shindo 7, Meaning Mercalli 10. There Is No XI or XII in Japanese Faulting. Japan's Intensity Scale Is Limited To X.

@@Jaxongarza209 But the shaking for that earthquake was destructive!

@@disasterzone4830 Intensities Are Not Always Based On Magnitude. You Should Start Looking Up Wikipedia or USGS.

For this 2011 Tohoku, Japan Earthquake (M 9.0~9.1), actually this earthquake has maximum intensity of MMI IX, or MMI X at most for rough estimate, and Shindo 7 based on JMA; it is impossible to be MMI XI-XII, the shaking and the damages caused by the shaking does not like that. Also, since this earthquake has very large magnitude, the shaking time and the high-itensity areas affected is very large, this is how a M 9-ish earthquake to be different from a M 7-ish or M 8-ish earthquake.

this is real

@@DLBLOXX the software, not the earthquake itself

Fukushima

I think Japan categorizes major Tsunami as over 3 meters while I use 5 meters as my bench mark for all my other videos so I had to adjust it a bit for the sake of consistency.

@@Shindo7earthquake oh i see thx

@@iJustRuinedMyReputation12 Also I'm doing your 1833 Sumatera Earthquake request now so it should be out within a week.

@@Shindo7earthquake OMG THX IM SO HAPPY

@@Shindo7earthquake and the 2021 Rupunini Earthquake?

Yes

Liquefaction is caused by the earthquake, not the tsunami. So, if you have a tsunami, then aftershocks, there can be liquefaction after tsunami.

It's 9.1

In Japan, the earthquake was rated at magnitude 9.0.

7 is classified into X,XI, XII, XIII

But that was incredibly strong

Or tsunami
