*_How terrifying to witness first hand..._*
Did you see that brave rescue person going back down from the safety of stairs and higher ground to help last minute victims get out of harms way. So many heroes that day, and many heroes lost as well.
I saw another video a few days ago and a poor guy was riding on the roof of a house as it was being swept back out to sea with receding waters. He look so helpless and I hope he was rescued. I have seen people trapped in their cars and swept away by the raging tsunami. In another people running for their lives to high ground with water 1 foot behind them. Others pulled them up to safety.
I live in Pacific Northwest 100 miles from Seattle. We will have a magnitude 9 earthquake. It's not if, but when. Then a similar tsunami will strike our West Coast. Like Japan, we live on the Ring of Fire plate boundaries. I saw St Helen's up close and personal. Our State is beautiful but we have 3 active volcanoes, an active subduction plate zone, and Pacific Ocean.
*_It adds up to mega-quakes and mega-tsunamis._*
Unfortunately, there were thousands of occupied buildings which were completely collapsed or swept off their foundations, only to be shattered into wreckage by the debris field.
Others remained almost or wholly intact and were swept out to sea on the receding flow.
People trapped in vehicles were also swept out to sea, as were those clinging to wreckage.
One man was rescued from a floating roof mid ocean, three days aftet the Tsunami!
For thousands of others, there would be no rescue, only the progressive loss of bouyancy as seawater continuously seeped into their vehicles and buildings, until their inevitable sinking, and utterly horrific death!
The government issued a blackout on showing deceased victims in the water.
The sight of large, multi-storey buildings being swept out to sea was quite surreal, likewise the many vehicles!
It was a terrible cruelty that people survived the Tsunami, only to find themselves helplessly swept out to sea whilst still inside their homes, unable to escape and never to be rescued.
So many people died within just a few minutes, and beautiful, peaceful coastal communities became centres of unprecedented destruction.
The sea that provided for the community now wreaked merciless havoc on it.
The one positive outcome is that after seeing the horrific videos of that day, that people living in inundation zones will be better informed and prepared, and won't fall victim if their community is threatened by a Tsunami
@@felixcat9318 Thank you for respecting the dead. Hardly any footage of people dying in live video.
One thing that struck me was many structures deemed tsunami proof survived the water, only to fall victim to giant ships, or barges with cranes on them slamming into buildings.
I have watched hours of video and another thing that stuck out was the reddish brown 'dust' that followed when structures were mowed over by tsunamis many meters high. In some places, water rose slowly, in other places water rose 30 feet in 1 minute.
Then there were the floating fires, that was really bizarre. Even water logged buildings have enough fuel for raging fires. Gas lines ruptured when homes ripped off their foundations.
We will never forget March 11, 2011
@@felixcat9318 Well said. 🙏🏻
It’s bizarre that I see this and think, ah, they’re lucky. It’s not so bad there.
I'd love to own one of those Japanese Civil emergency helmets.
sou brasileiro gosto muito desses vídeos de tsunami, mas tenho muito medo . Aqui no Brasil não tem tsunami .
Já teve em 1755 e em Pernambuco,Paraíba e Rio Grande do Norte a onda entrou terra adentro 5 quilómetros e chegou a ter a altura de 6 metros por isso o Brasil pode sim e vai ter com certeza Tsunamis
Imagine all the displaced fish
I went out with a girl from Iwaki for a few years when I lived in Japan. I went there once. I think they also call it Taira.
😥♥️♥️

А вы не задумывались то что волна цунами могла быть вызвана искусственным путем?...
I wanted to yell at those clueless old people who wouldn't keep climbing the stairs but instead stopped so that they could watch the incoming disaster.
Jeez, have a little compassion! Even the old folks had never seen anything close to the size of the 2011 tsunami. I'd be watching it too!
@@Khumbu0609 Yes, this was shocking and terrifying for the old people and everyone else, but the latter were stopping on the stairs to watch when they were potentially in danger by the rising water.
Clueless young person brought up by policeman........

If that was me, as an oldish person, I would have have to stop a moment just to breathe. That may have been her house she was looking at. And I would have struggled to get up those steps too.
@@gailknight3128 I'm pretty old as well, and probably might not be able to make it up too many of these stairs at one time. But these people are stopping to watch when they need to use all their adrenaline to save their lives by getting as elevated as possible.
Video out of focus blurry hard to watch
Almost as if it's filmed by people fearing for their lives during a catastrophe... 🤔
