That tsunami footage is insane. You get a sense of the true scale of the wave height as the water rises all the way to the camera man who minutes before was looking down at the roof’s of buildings. I think Earthquakes are by far the most destructive type of natural disaster, espeically subdunction zone earthquakes that cause tsunamis. I can’t even picture what a 40 meter high wave would look like in person. It’s sad but also amazing that this once in a lifetime disaster was caught on film. The biggest earthquake I’ve ever felt was a 7.0 but it was far away and there was minimal shaking. I can’t imagine what a 9.0 feels like.

I still consider 28:25 to be one of the top most terrifying tornado videos ever taken. That camera is as close as you will ever get to an F5 tornado and live to tell the tale afterward.

Note that a lot of bush fire trucks in Australia have what are called "water curtains" – they spray high pressure water over themselves to deflect some of the heat of the fire away. Water curtains do not last very long, but they last long enough to protect the truck during a burnover. In the first Australia clip, you can see the cameraperson's truck deploy the water curtain. The truck in front, due to the collision, could not start their water curtain, which triggered the mayday as they had no choice but to try and drive out of the fire front. They were extremely lucky to make it out alive.

The second clip shows exactly what happens to engines with no water curtain. These weren't bushfire engines, so they weren't equipped with them and thus, when the fire front hit them, they promptly burned. Fortunately, they lasted just long enough to allow the firefighters to shelter in place until enough of the front had passed they could abandon ship.

I notice you have a warning at the beginning. Aren't videos like this supposed to trigger emotion? 🤔💨

10:45 the fire is so hot that its blue.. then they start screaming mayday, its heart breaking. when firefighters say mayday, it means they need help, or a member is trapped or missing.
