Second part of the SCARIEST footage from the 2011 Japan tsunami, which was caused by a massive earthquake off the coast of the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011.
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami (Japanese: 東北地方太平洋沖地震, Hepburn: Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin) occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on 11 March. The magnitude 9.0–9.1 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake had an epicenter in the Pacific Ocean, 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of the Tōhoku region, and lasted approximately six minutes, causing a tsunami. It is sometimes known in Japan as the “Great East Japan Earthquake” (東日本大震災, Higashi nihon daishinsai), among other names. The disaster is often referred to in both Japanese and English as simply 3.11 (read san ten ichi-ichi in Japanese).
It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that may have reached heights of up to 40.5 meters (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku’s Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, traveled at 700 km/h (435 mph) and up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. Residents of Sendai had only eight to ten minutes of warning, and more than a hundred evacuation sites were washed away. The snowfall which accompanied the tsunami and the freezing temperature hindered rescue works greatly; for instance, Ishinomaki, the city with most deaths, was 0 °C (32 °F) as the tsunami hit. The official figures released in 2021 reported 19,759 deaths, 6,242 injured, and 2,553 people missing, and a report from 2015 indicated 228,863 people were still living away from their home in either temporary housing or due to permanent relocation.

I would leave that country all together….I can't go through that every time it's a quake
I was 11 years old when this happened. I still remember seeing the news stories and videos on YouTube just like this one.
Japanese are highly intelligent and have a long history with tsunamis. I just can't figure out how so many got caught by this one when they had more than enough warning.
This was not the 2004 tsunami where every country except Indonesia didn't stand a chance at forewarning.
They got rocked by a mega 9+ quake off the coast. They KNEW without a doubt it was coming.
Американцы их спасут

It’s a very humbling experience when you watch this compilation, it makes you realise how fragile human life is, and how close to the edge of chaos we really live.
I remember this well..I wasn't there but, saw it on the news. I still cry for these people.
This is heartbreaking to watch. Just seeing the water almost as high as the trees is just horrific. I can’t even imagine what some people went through that day
9:35 앞에 갈색집에 사람들 대피하는 거 같은데 일분도 안돼서 쓰나미에 잠겼네 얼마나 무서우셨을꼬 자연재해는 진짜 손쓸수도 없다는데 무섭다 우리나라도 이런거 보고 경각심 가지고 대피법 잘 알아뒀으면
Молится надо
Тем кто снимает по ходу весело 😮
If you live in a coastal area, please run to higher ground immediately after the earthquake!
It is impossible to run away if you see water. Please evacuate vertically by climbing as high as possible in front of you!
کار خدا بود، خداوندا مارو ببخش🤲🤲🤲🤲یا الله
I know it's probably the last thing on anyone's
mind, but I wonder how many poor pets and animals perished, too!
Truly terrifying!
Never saw so much watter moving at such a rate.
Heartbreaking seeing peoples houses, businesses being wiped out like that.
There was nothing anyone could do to stop any of it.
May we never see another.
zostawcie juz ta rope pedalyzajeba ne na calym swuecie natural ne paliwo ziemi
This video shows how insignificant we humans really are on this crazy planet we call home…

Won't stop them building in exactly the same place, waiting for the next one. I just love their Japanese logic.
It is really strange the way a tsunami comes in because you think "waves" but it looks more like the ocean just comes in as one big flood and never stops. Waves form crests and break…I have't seen any waves in tsunami footage….just the ocean coming in like one big river
28:16 …… I ( in Australia ) have watch hours of these videos …… this one … really show the power – up close -and the height of the wave /s best
What a cruel nightmare. And the fact that it was snowing at the time. Nature is cruel. Bless these poor people and the lives lost..
This was so bad and then Fukushima nuclear power plants reactors blew and hav3 been causing MASSIVE DAMAGE AND PROBLEMS WITHIN OUR OCEANS SINCE
What is the odd that can happen in the caribbean? 😔
И оповещение. И серена. И что? Тупые японцы сидели дома. Думали бессмертные? Не жалко.
…cuando la realidad, es superior a la ficcion…….
…hace 20 años, si lo vieras en una pelicula, dirias vaya "fantasmada"……
😮🤦♀️
🌚
From Japan.12 years have passed since then. People of the affected areas are doing best to rebuild their town,and it has so progressed. Thank you for all of your support and kindness form that day.https://youtu.be/CAA_w6N-0Sw
How to contact you? Any id?
For some reason today I felt like looking up this awful event, not remembering that it happened exactly 12 years ago to the day, March 11, 2011. What a horrible tragedy.
So, was it an earthquake that caused this or a storm? Why both? bad luck.
Unbearable unimaginable oh my God
Cruel jaws of death 12 years ago Alas
Its comming documentary : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtB8P59xWjw&t=1s
