1. Two random DeLoreans at 34:30

2. Most recent tsunami in Japan wasn't in 2011, it was in Jan 2024 in Ishikawa Prefecture

3. Great watch thanks

4. Thank you DW for this such a good documentary, I am proud that my hometown Palu is shown in the video, I'm also one of the survivor of 2018 Earthquake & Tsunami. I was in the middle of the city on the second floor at the time, and i can see clearly the Tsunami coming from the sea fast, clearly first the water on the shoreline were retreating at first, but minutes later it came so fast that barely anyone who stands still in front of the beach alive.

5. DODO SAYS: I RAN; TSUNAMI SAYS: I wRAQ HAHAHA SO SAD.DAM HUSSEIN HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

6. They’ll be another big 1 2025 too at my guessing 1 every last 7 years on the trot! 2004 Indonesia 2011 Japan 2018 Krakatoa Indonesia so that leaves 2025?

7. This’s a warning that there will be soon a massive earthquake in Japan or somewhere else soon.

8. 🌏👤♻️☯️🌌🙄

9. The documentary stated that the waves reached 35m high at the shore of Sumatra which is incorrect. The height of the “waves” were barely a few meters. But what makes a tsunami devastating is the sheer force and velocity of a continuous surge of huge volume of water

10. 2004 December 26, Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami
    2011 March 11, Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
    2018 September 28, Indonesia Sulawesi Earthquake and Tsunami
    So, according to my calculations, the next big one could hypothetically occur on 7/9/13 or 15 June 2025 🤔😬

    All these events occurred in the "Pacific Ring of Fire". The Cascadia Subduction Zone is also part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Could June 2025 be Cascadia's turn??

    Cascadia’s historical megathrust occurred on January 26, 1700, a mid-to-late-month pattern similar to past events like 26 December 2004.

    Studies suggest a major Cascadia earthquake occurs roughly every 300 to 500 years, so we’re approaching the average recurrence period.

    Cascadia’s last event (1700) means the region is overdue, so it fits the potential timeline for a significant seismic event.

    I seriously hope that my calculations are wrong!

11. DW is a great network, I love everything you produce

12. It makes me sad because Indonesia and all its islands are beautiful. The people I have met that are from there are extremely kind. My heart breaks for them, having to deal with this so often. 💜

13. Sri Lanka was one of the countries worst-hit by Tsunami on 26th of December, 2004. Nearly 35000 people lost their lives while half a million people were displaced as result of this natural disaster.

14. An excellent documentary. Thanks DW. I'm from Sri Lanka..

15. Aceh 2004, palu 2018 tsunami 🇮🇩

16. Easy way to be prepared for a tsunami… don’t live on the coast. Simple as that.

17. Funny you post this all the sudden with everything popping off……alllll the sudden 💀🙄

18. Uh… The Nankai trough is off the east coast of Japan, not the west coast as stated. Just sayin.

19. This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles. I am a YouTuber under my Full-Name with the same profile picture as this post with 52 videos covering 30 different category topic subjects sharing my personal knowledge and experiences with others to help others improve their overall adult lives. I've got videos on building yourself a high quality 24-72 Hour Survival Bug Out Bags, Home and Vehicle Preparedness and Readiness advice videos, several Financial Literacy advice videos, fourteen Cooking Creation Recipes videos, and more!

20. maybe give globalists some money ?

21. That's a little wild seeing the Colonel Sanders. Looking back at the camera.

22. When ever mother nature gets so angry, this type of disasters will happen, it's the history, we must plz control too much "development"

23. I’ll save you time. Don’t live by the ocean.

24. seeing the tsunami devour cars and sweep houses like they were nothing sent shiver down my spine. The power of nature is really something we mere humans can barely protect ourselves from.

25. Those footage were not made by mobiles; some of them had cameras back then but the resolution was too low.

26. Move 10 miles away from the shoreline i told you 7 yrs ago
    Now you're walking on thin ice

27. the one in Japan was insane, i was shocked! i remember watching it happened live and asking myself "is this really happening right now|, you can see the waves are coming slowly and the feeling of helplessness, like you know we cant really do anything about it, even at that time we already considered ourselves as an advanced civilization and yet all we could do is watch. people, cars, and even houses getting swept like nothing. . I still get chills thinking about it to this day witnessing the sheer power of nature was unforgettable. May those who lost their lives in this tragedy rest in peace.

28. Global threat?
    Not where I live!

29. 35 meter wave ??
    Wtf
    Thats not a 35 m wave.
    Not even 5 meter.
    To the ones who died,Rest in peace

30. Maybe increasing taxes

31. ……may I recommend a brilliant book on this subject? It’s title is, ‘Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard’ by Prof Edward BRYANT.

32. Build high out of strong concrete

33. Nederlands be like Sea my number one 1⃣ enamy we meet again

34. I'll save you time. Simple. Don't build your house on beach fronts. Might be nice but since nobody can predict an earthquake you can't, period. Thanks for watching.

35. Move away from the coast and live up hills

36. We didn’t know that much until 2004?!?? No way you guys really wrote that

37. 41:35 Does anyone know what city is shown here?

38. Osaka a ticking time bomb

39. 20 year anniversary. May all affected be prayed for 🙏

40. You ask how is this tragedy happened again?
    Because we try too challenge Gods power.
