Ships on land and houses in the sea! Nature is wild.

That's the worlds strongest house a tsunami couldn't sweep it away and a giant boat couldn't crush it.

Hello it's me I’ve always hated the “someone has it worse than you” mentality. A lot of people have problems. Just because to you one may have it worse than another doesn’t make it less impactful to the person experiencing it.

Me too

Hello it's me me too

Well put and very true statement.

I watched it and it just made my bad day worse.

if everyone did that or at least more then who did than there would have been far less casualties, I am a bit mystified at how many people just depended on the levies and didnt evacuate. many videos show people playing calm and cool by the shore line . rip for the dead If they only knew

@@weasele1 to be fair, these towns were built to withstand huge waves. They probably were more used to it than anyone else, that's why they even have warning systems in place compared to other coastal countries. It's just that the scale was so huge, even the evac centers were swept away.

Anyone who was filming had no idea what was actually going to happen. If they did make it out it was nothing less of a miracle that they did. The beging when everyone was saying here it comes and was just casually filming I couldn't imagine what they were thinking once it actually did arrive! That must have been closet to hell on Earth as u could get up to this point anyway, makes me worry about the future and what it holds sometimes. I watch these videos sometimes to remember just how good we do have it and if I want to bitch and complain about something I remember it can always be worse and to just suck it up and handle what needs to be done and that's all we can do until it's our turn to leave this world and helpfully we leave it with a clear conscience and to have helped and loved as many other people and critters!! Can't forget the critters, as much as possible cuz u never know when it's our time. Anyone that is being negative about this video and other ones like it just don't understand how small and fragile we really are and hopefully never experience anything such as this in their lifetime. 911 was tragic and was devastating to us but to put into perspective if the entire city of New York was wiped off of the face of the Earth that is basically what happened to these people by mother nature nonetheless! Many do forget or think that just because they are not in America that everyone in these videos or that were there are all 100% human and people just like you and I and to speak I'll of them cuz they may look different then we do is the real tragedy. Sorry i am talking to much now, lol have a good day to whoever made it this far!!

@_egas calybird TRUMP VOTERS continually behave this way!

Why make this political? Wow.

Watching a video on you tube is much better than watching tv & that propaganda. I don’t understand this person dragging Trump voters into this. Yes. I notice brain washed lefties foreign & not criticize my country. This video has nothing to do with Americans other than they happen to be there when it happened. I appreciated hearing English version. I lived in Okinawa as a kid so I have nothing against Japanese people. The one thing I have noticed in comments attacking people on ideology is that they are pretty young. You can tell by the verbiage they spew.

Feast for them

my mother recently passed away and im watching these videos. I dont know why but I find them interesting becayuse they show the sheer power of nature these videos and glacier calving . its just to bad so many did not evacuate or waited so long. after all its not like it was a random ordinary earth quake. The one thing The Japanese do well is survive catastrophes. I wish the whole country well an a good recovery

Tasermaxx you are right because at the top of that tree you can see a bunch of..... See for yourself

8 billion views are those nests?

i wish there was more time spent on the little island with the lighthouse

@@8billionviews752 "OF WHAT"??🤔

That was the best part for me also. It’s difficult to comprehend just how incredibly powerful a force is at work until you see footage like that.

Tragic absolutely but shocking ? nah not a chance.A virus destroyed Diachi the tsunami was an afterthought carried out by yanks & israelis for Japan offering to enrich uranium yanks did it to China for the threat of ditching the petro dollar and so on nothing shocks anymore when it comes to the biggest terrorist cell in the world the united states of israel 😠

POOR JAPAN... THEYVE LIED CONSTANTLY SINCE THEN... THE WHOLE PLANET IS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE THEY KEPT QUIET ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF THE DISASTER!

@@mikehunt3852 I hope you do not mean that seriously. Because otherwise: Amazing at what nonsense some people want to believe. As if religions and other ideologies were not bad enough.

I guess some people have a hard time understanding the difference between reality and a Hollywood movie.

@@diane9247 unfortunately what you are saying is true

Too bad not all heeded it.

確かにそうですがやはりこんな大変な状況だとそこまで手が回らないというか、自国民に逃げてくださいって言うだけでいっぱいいっぱいだと思います...

My brother lives on the Oregon coast, less than a mile from the beach. I always worry about him. last time I stayed, think it was on wednesday evenings they tested the tsunami sirens, it 'mooooo'd' like a cow so you wouldn't mistake it for a normal siren, it was really eerie.

It's just a word. It's ironic what you were implying they were is exactly what you are: someone who takes their current situation for granted.

Michael Fish man that is me. I was

Michael Fish sorry I was just thinking how I take my safety for granted. Japan I am so terribly sorry for all your loss.

Grey Line i think he said, abandoned this. meaning the fire truck. I could be wrong though.

Naw, they came back from rescuing people and said WTF! SOMEBODY STOLE OUR TRUCK!

Sad thing is .. the hospitals probably under water or floated away .. gas stations under water or floated away so fire truck can’t refill .. this was a major major disaster of incomparable proportion. Every person affected had to literally start all over with the clothes on their back. Most their homes AND cars gone .. phone and power lines down, no idea how to check on family .. thousands were never even found. I can’t imagine this.

mathew marcus brilliant observation mr science

Why are you trying to teach us? And why are you doing it so badly?

mathew marcus 😒😒😒if u live near the sea you'll obviously know that the tsunami is a huuuuge wave so when it reaches the land at one point it'll go back and it's more dangerous when it goes back

@@mariamarie8605 how on earth is the receding wave more dangerous than the inbound wave?

@@supersmileyclub544 Watch more of thes tsunami videos and you will see. Start with tsunami onagawa

Luck had nothing to do with it. They were warned, they followed the warning advice and got to safety.

they got a 20 minutes head start compared to anyone on the city. The guy on the radio at the beginning saved their lives

Tropical Cyclone (Typhoons/Hurricanes) as well

Same

Yeah, it’s surreal how the birds are oblivious to the tsunami. I wouldn’t expect a bird to be terrified, but they behaved like it’s just an ordinary day, except for some unusually easy pickings.

All those fish are kept inside huge keep nets and the Japanese feed them on CANCER giving food pellets and all the fish were washed inland because the tsunami was to strong for them to escape back into the open ocean' the Japanese make huge profits from feeding the fish on cancer giving food pellets and most of the fish were killed so their profits went bye bye's ha haThese guys kill life to make huge profits and the food is highly toxic for humans.

It's a mix of the wave still coming in and the other part of it is receding in the ocean already so it creates the mess you see at 11:02 (11:20 also)
