Apparently those morons

I’m betting they were just there hanging out by the ocean and had no clue what was transpiring.

Um, didn't look dangerous to me

These "tourists"

stupid people

100%

Sorry your disappointed a lot of ppl have died in them. Your cruel

Go Be in one if so disappointed

@@christywilsonberge4638 the power of nature is fascinating to behold, watching videos that display it has nothing to do with cruelty. Your comment is careless and ignorant.

you do realise this was 2012?

Underrated comment

U also waste 3 minutes to type

That came in that fast?

No, it wasn't. The wave was smaller because it travelled from Japan. The tide isn't usually that high at that time of day in Hawaii.

The tide can’t come in that fast. It was the remnant of a tsunami

High tide does not go out and come back in a matter of 4mins! Let me guess, u live in Oklahoma or Iowa? Cause u obviously don’t know much about high and low tides!

That came in in a matter of minutes?

When water leaves and comes back within a few minutes, it's no tide but a weak tsunami from an earthquake far away! Glad that there wasn't any higher waves, because those people in the front row had no idea what happened!

That's because the wave came from the north and this bay faces south. The island basically blocked most of the wave energy.

If everybody run who will answer 😝😂

Can i ask a question?

Well that depends on the seafloor before the coast. And on the slope before the shelf. You have the beach like here, then a shelf beneath the surface, then a slope that goes down to the seafloor several kilometers beneath sea-level. If the slope is steep enough it can deflect some of the energy from the wave back out to the open ocean. Also if the shelf extends far enough and is really shallow far enough that can also break the wave energy. Back in 2004 Bangladesh was actually spared the worst of the tsunami because of such a long shallow shelf, whereas India and Sri Lanka had waves up to 12 meters high because of the narrower shelf. Plus the tsunami came from the North, this bay faces south, so most of the wave energy was lost going around the island.

you don't get to decide what is and isn't a tsunami just because it doesn't meet your standards of killing hundreds. And, if you had bothered to read the description, you would know that this very same tsunami killed 18-20 THOUSAND people in Japan. This tsunami in hawaii is the tsunami after travelling 3800 miles from Japan.

And still waiting for you dumb millennials to spell TSUNAMI correctly.

The quick rush of water (if you bothered to watch) coming in and covering up the rocks was the Tsunami. A Tsunami isn't this 50 ft. huge tidal wave you were led to believe by fake news channels.

Us natives know and call it like it is. Our chants and prayers were answered by nature sparing us the nature’s force at her finest. Low tide. 😂 we know our land and ways. Low tide😤 you have no clue. 😢 Mother Nature and Father Time are in charge. You make it what you will.

tsunami is a continuous surge of water that came from an earthquake, the further the tsunami travels the weaker it is it doesn't have to be a huge wave to be a tsunami

@@nancyristigian5552 i didn't know tides rolled out and back in, in a matter of minutes.

@@oldiesmusic76 it can be. Watch some KZfaq videos. I saw some that were described as some 50 to 60 feet high from the waters surface.
