I am so sorry that you had to experience this and lose so many people you loved. My heart cried for Japan when this happened. I sincerely hope you are doing OK. I live on Vancouver Island and we are also in the ring of fire, and it’s also a very active earthquake zone. I live on the west coast facing Japan and only one minute from the ocean. I’ve felt many earthquakes but never experienced a tsunami and I hope I never do. The tsunami scares me more than the earthquakes do. All you can do to prepare is have an earthquake kit ready containing non-perishable food, water, blankets, medication that you may have to take, flashlights and batteries, toilet tissue, bandages, and anything you’d need to survive for at least three days. And know where to go in the event it happens. Know where you can go that gets you up high like a hillside or tall concrete building. It has to be concrete as wood washes away. And if you hear that you have to evacuate or you suffer an earthquake just go to the safety area. Don’t wait to see if the water can reach you. If you do wait it may be too late for you to get there. It’s better to go there and find out you didn’t need to go than it is to not go and find out it’s too late. That’s all you can do to be ready my friend. Being prepared is the best thing you can do to give yourself the best chance at survival. 🇯🇵🇨🇦

少し調べてみた。 志津川中学の標高は53.5ｍ、河口までの距離1.5ｋｍらしい。 動画の最初が高台からなのに最後のほうは堤防みたいな高さな感じなってるなんて恐ろしい・・ すごい考えさせられる動画です。

今まで津波の色々な映像を拝見してますが、これは初めて観ました。 この映像を撮影された女性、すごいですね。 お母さんを心配しつつ現実を受け止めようとしている。頭が下がります。 皆さん、元気でおられることを祈ってます。

河川だけでも深いよね…その数倍の高さまで波が押し寄せたから。 予想 高さ3メートルの津波も、一旦湾内に入ると、次々に沿岸の波が波及するから遡上高があがる。 街の再建を同じ沿岸部にしたら、孫の代にまた津波に襲われるぞ。 堤防高くしたって、津波は行く手を捜し波及して襲うからな。堤防の高さは大津波には効果が小さい。 集中豪雨だってある。河川の堤防嵩上げしたら、街中は低地になり熱くなるだけだ。 国がいくらでも資金を捻出してやってほしいが、私は 街を山に移転したほうが良いと考えている。

Of all the horrific tsunami videos I have seen, this one is surely the worst. Not only to see an entire town swept completely off the map in one catastrophic event, but to hear the anguished wailing and misery of those who had to witness it, knowing that they were most likely seeing not only the death of the community they had known, but also the extinguishing of the lives of so many loved ones and neighbors. What an immense tragedy. I’m so sorry for your loss and pain.

@@nathonix7072 Protection rendered from sea walls is not something to be proud of when the world has faced half a kilometre high (500m+) waves. The protection that really matters at the end is two-fold, foremost, public awareness that saves them from the ordeal in the first place as they orderly relocate to safer grounds. Which obviously failed to a great extent in Japan as many videos are from the beaches or buildings around it and cars escaping from the waves behind them. Even with the civil defence alarms blaring full force and urging them to relocate. Secondly after those walls are breached. How many can have reliable shelter in the affected zones, for how long and whether that becomes the reason they die when all else fails. Which again exactly happened, the wooden houses first floated off their foundations because they are not fixed due to earthquake protections ignoring tsunami dynamics, later these broke off after collisions with concrete structures or simply due to sheer tensions. Becoming a flood of nails and barbed planks, rest you can guess.

I have experienced a 15 second one, and that was waaay too long. 6 minutes would be deeply traumatic and potentially disorienting. But you have to get your mind back and start running for higher evalation. Even though you might be hurt or worried sick about your family and want to find them, or you might think it's better and faster to drive, and the warnings are saying the wave isn't going to be that big, so you think the tsunami walls will hold, or you might be disabled, or you might want to go get your children first, and a million other things. Anyone who says why didn't they get away has never lived through anything remotely like this, and therefore has no right to judge. If they have experienced something like this, they wouldn't judge.

Jude Villarta idk where the hospital was at but knowing how fast the water took over, it would be difficult even if they were closer to each other.

It's powerful and terrified at the same time.

I live in a flood plain here in canada but i will or cannot ever complain about a flood after watching this footage. This is horrifying and something that cant be imagined unless you are on that roof. Never have seen something this intense before on a flood. This is truly terrifying for these ppl and the water rising and rising. Not slowly either but with extreme force and speed

What a shock it must have been to think the sea could come up so far... Unbelievable, sad and scary.

Wow! Look at the difference ONE MINUTE made to the river between 1:43 and 2:43!!

Such an horrendous event to experience. Been in a lot of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados 🌪 snow ⛄️ storms but this? Blessings to Japanese people everywhere!

It's hard to comprehend how anyone could deal with this happening to their town. For me, it would be difficult for my brain to process and accept what's happening right in front of my eyes. Talk about turning a person's life upside down. How these people managed to pick up the pieces and move on with life is beyond me. I'm so sorry this happened to the wonderful people of Japan. So much loss 😞

That wave was close to 100' in spots. Never stood a chance. So blessed that it happened during day time and that the people for the most part take these events seriously.

За 8 минут не стало города !!!! Вода превратила все в щепки , в прах...люди плакали , сердца обливались кровью..Потом пол минуты вода постояла и унесла в океан все что перемолола...как же человек бессилен..

pure hell. Imagine watching this happening to your town? Pure hell.

Плачь женщины.....,понимающей ,все потеряно, что страшная стихия может поглотить ,далее живущих....Это ужасно......Прошло 10 лет.....Мне так жаль этих людей.....И до сих пор, смотря видео 3.11 .....плачу и плачу....Усопшим упокоения,выжившим,что бы никогда не повторилось.....Гордые ,сильные. Счастья вам на 10000000000 лет!

A whole town gone!! 😢😢🙏 Rip peace to all the people who lost their lives. Thank you Miki Endo for saving as many people as you could. May you rest in peace.

3:20でコンビニに津波がなだれ込み、3:37で流れてきた家が激突！ 一気にコンビニ崩壊。凄まじい光景。それから20秒経たないうちに、ガードレール下の家が崩壊。 数秒の内にありとあらゆるものが瞬く間に津波に呑み込まれて行く。 映像越しでこれほど凄まじいから、目の当たりにした人は言葉もでないのは当然です😣

i can´t believe it...oustanding destruction...that was terrible...those poor people...many lifes loss here!!!

True, there were many casualties, but if Japan didn't have the absolute BEST tsunami warning systems in the world, there would have been 10x the death toll like the 2004 tsunami that wiped out 120,000 on impact, and many more through tainted water, disease, starvation in the months to follow.

Only 28.000 so don't get too dramatic about it. :-)

Its so heartbreaking to see the tsunami swept all houses there.

Боже какая трагедия ,сколько людей потеряли дома,близких,слезы от увиденного и сочувствие людям.природная катастрофа страшная. Мои соболезнования...

This video was taken from the grounds of Shizugawa Junior High School. A very wise location! The High School is on the opposite side of the valley and also on high ground. The roadway with a white guard rail just below the camera is the entrance drive going up to the school. The white, multi-story building seen in the early minutes survived the tsunami but sadly the video clearly shows that the majority of the city was destroyed and so many lives lost. The white building can still be found on Google maps street view images. Be sure to select "Aug 2011" as the date for street images because the building is now demolished. Understandably, Google image data is really messed up in these damaged areas.

El poder de la naturaleza en su máxima expresión. Minamisanricu y Japón en mi menoría para siempre.

May 22 2011. I'm a Joplin tornado survivor though we had enough warning but nothing compares at japan. No warning for the strongest quake but a tidal wave 15 minutes later. Thousands of people and animals swept out to sea. I hope my relatives survived. Jaci

Such a monstrous thing, deep and relentless, overrunning everything in the valley. RIP to the victims, and my condolences to the survivers! Much love from America to Japan. 💝😢🇺🇸🇯🇵

Shell shock .... WTF did I just watch? 10 years on and it's still unfathomable to see such destruction in such little time. People had little time to get to high ground, especially the handicapped and frail elderly. God bless Japan.

When the water in your river starts running backward, you know some serious shit is going down.

"Unbelievable"! and very sad!...

Poor people ! This was 2 kilometers INLAND !

i know, dosen"t it just pluck heartstrings and bring a tear to your eye to hear the screams of terror from these poor people:(

All of these japan 11 videos are insane but this one particularly. The quickness and intensity of the water is unbelievable. The water was 60 or 70 ft deep by the end.

あの日テレビをつけると、これが現実なのかと目を疑うような映像が流れていた。 逃げて！逃げてー！と私は思わず画面に向かって祈る思いで声を振り絞っていた。 それから私は被害の大きさを徐々に知りました。 一夜が明け、多くの町は地獄絵図と化していました。これを撮っている娘さんの、お母さん？のおじいさんのいる家が見てる前で津波に襲われたのでしょうか｡泣き叫ぶ声に涙しました。娘さんの、気丈だけどお母さんが取り乱しているのに自分は辛いけど、しっかりしなければという思いが伝わる映像でした。
