Arigatogosaimazu...for sharing these first person viewpoint experience.... its true the picture paints a thousand words.🙁 “Japan will rise and you are the land of the rising sun.”

It’s still breathtaking the amount of devastation that was caused 😭

I remember seeing footage of a wiped-out delta town or village like this one marveling on the community spirit to have lain and stacked all the timbers roadside up to 2 storeys tall either side so orderly a couple of days afterwards - I saw no heavy machinery around either in the midst of passersby

Preciosa canciòn, pero triste.

Crazy to think all of this damage happened in only a few minutes.

What song is that? It's beautiful!

shortly before this tsunami, I'd happened to steadily be coming across Manga depictions of tsunamis, of which most were drawn as ABOMINABLY fierce indeed, oof!

thanks for the impressive video

These beautiful, busy, thriving communities and literally every single aspect that made up those communities has been wiped from the face of the earth, replaced with debris, devastation, destruction, despair, depression, death and disappearances! No country can set in place sufficient early warning and mass evacuation systems in coastal regions to defend the people against the unparalleled and overwhelming oceanic forces that destroyed these communities in minutes! There is only one certainty, that is there will be future earthquakes and tsunamis, and they may be even greater than those experienced on that truly terrible day!

How many weeks was this "just after the tsunai" ? Looks like considerable clean up had been done

capital hotel renovated and moved 700meters inland
