Some places the wall of water was 133 feet high.

The official figures released in 2021 reported 19,759 deaths,[43] 6,242 injured,[44] and 2,553 people missing

Mother nature is unreal, all those fools who think WE can control the weather have no clue.

So, if you're in the middle of fricking, do you stop during the earthquake or just enjoy the ride?

At 34:07 people are running for their lives....some don't make it.

The bravest were the old guys who volunteered to go into the nuke plant, so young people did not have to risk their lives.

Japanese seniors volunteer for Fukushima 'suicide corps'

This tsunami highlights the difference in people.

This hit Japan and they had it cleaned up on Thursday.

The 2010 Haiti earthquake still looks like it hit yesterday in much of Haiti.

I remember watching footage from helicopters the night it happened. Seeing cars trying to outrun the wall of water, most of them eventually getting caught up in the debris and carried off.

Tsunamis like that are an insanely destructive force.

Damn. 22:00 really highlights the force & speed of the water at ground level.

I have been watching alot of the Tsunami videos.

The amount of destructive force and the distance the water traveled on land in some areas was astounding.

It overtopped protective seawalls, railroad and road embankments and flattened entire towns.

Seeing people overtaken was just sad. Some appeared to be older folks unable to move quickly enough after a late start.

The sound alone would be terrifying...

I love historical videos, but was emotionally sad to watch. Maybe just the ptsd from flood of ‘16 and holiday stress or the background music. Thx for sharing

All those people inside their homes at 13:15 most likely died. The guy in the background “They won’t make it”. Crazy.

I was stationed in Japan for year and half. Went to Sendai once. While I was in Japan I experienced many tremors. Seemed like when the snow melted quick, tremor time. Then went to Bali Indonesia for vacation and damned if they didn't have a earthquake too. Scary shite.

If they can fake a moon landing they can easily fake a tsunami.
