Tsunami Waves of Destruction

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The Boxer Day Tsunami, German tourist home video of approaching tsunami waves, water has retreated and the horizon is on the move towards the islands.
Yes, the German family did survive. No, not everyone undertands or is familiar with the ocean, tsunamis, water, flooding situations, or the risk involved. People go into shock and react in various ways. It is not for us to judge the behavior of others, but to learn from this experience and help educate others and ourselves. This event resulted in a tragic loss of life where 400,000 people in various countries lost thier lives. This is merely one example, and tsunamis and earthquakes are a continual part of a natural process.
Comments have been disabled because of obvious reasons of how cruel and absuive viewers have become on youtube. Especially in lieu of how many people lost thier lives in this tragedy, I am amazed at the level of disrespect of survivors worldwide. Guess it has to happen to you to feel some compassion....
When you see the locals run like in the movies.. YOU RUN TOO !!
The father was on German television a couple weeks later! Most amazing thing? The casualties were surprisingly(fortunate)not that high. To my knowledge the family is OK, do not worrie.
Cheers buddies, take it easy, love and peace to the world and thanks for the concerns, thank you.
It's astounding to watch. The guy filming can no doubt see that the water is coming with great force, it is simple common sense that it's not going to just stop where it was before. I can understand the human curiosity to go down to look where they wouldn't normally have the chance to view but first sight of that water coming in makes it clear it's time to run for the hills.
He survived with his wife and two young children heard in the video. It was on the Channel 4 Tsunami documentary. amazing escape though.
People didn't run because the wave didn't "look" threateningly high at first...they probably thought it would disperse at the shoreline. The first warning sign (if you are ever on the shore) is when you start to see a large amount of the sea retreating and can see quite a bit of the sea floor. These people didn't know until the wave was almost on top of them!
Ocean: you down to play chicken ?
Guy: Breathes Heavily
nice the boats and the sailors are just stting there
@JFguitar22 surfing waves are bigger but they dont come in groung, tsunami waves are big and they come by hundreds with an amazing force, its the ocean coming into the land basically
Guys, I seriously doubt you'd be running away until the last minute back then. Sure, now that you know wtf happens when the ocean recedes like that, you know it's time to run.
Personally, I would have stood a long while too, thinking "olol WTF" - AND THEN run after seeing that ship getting devoured by the waves. If I were there at that tragic day, however.
It kills me to see people standing there watching when they could be running to find safety!
RUN!!!
No one can stop the mother nature...it's horrible, and very scary.
On the other hand, people who have no choice but to live in on dangerous terrain such as an Island with little or no elevation change where a tsunami can easily overwhelm the whole island... thats a different story altogether. That's when I can sympothize with them.
. Very sad. He wasn't really even running himself and you could hear a Baby in the background. The footage is indespensible to researchers-I believe it shows how the water hits the shelf as it approaches - you can see huge plumes of water crashing upward - the color change is defined. How those on shore just stood there as they saw the boats capsized is beyond me-no noise, screaming-othing=mesmerized in watching something they were never meant to see. ////
when you see ships roll over it's time to get out of there genius!
@miamoore66879 now because of this tsunami in 2004- the idea of what a tsunami would even look like is on our minds, so of course I agree, NOW I'd get the hell outta there! but if I had never even seen one, I'd just think at the time that it was just a big wave that would crash at any point.....maybe would come in a bit further than the others, but not turn into the devastating tsunami which did occur.....
This is why I don't go the beach to get wasted anymore. lol imagine me and my college friends at the beach: "Woah dude, the water is like, mad at us for being here" -- "yeah dude, totally" XD
you can't fault people for not knowing what to do--i mean, how many people have ever seen a tsunami in their lives? and i mean, the thing about a tsunami is that it is not one "huge" wave, but rather, a series of smaller but tremendously fast ones. i'm sure that if someone saw a giant wall of water coming their way they would run (at least i hope so)
@miamoore66879 Most people were not aware that it was a tsunami to begin with. Don't forget that before the tsunami occurred, all the water receded into the ocean so people went out onto the sand, and little children played. The problem with a tsunami is that the signs of there being one are often very subtle, and obviously to a German tourist who has no experience with tsunamis, you can't really judge their decisions.
There are bigger waves here in Australia that are not tsunamis.
At 2:36 that boat gets swallowed! Damn I would hate to have been on that boat.
They r not running because they do not yet know excately what is happening,or is about to happen
33 feet tall in some places.
bill_788: the quake moved the world 4 inches
bill_788: "The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis."
no, its just a really big and long wave caused by an earthquake and going miles into the shore
alot of ppl actually think tsunamis are just larger waves but actually they have the entire forve of kms of water behind them. its like comparing a push bike crashing into u to a freight train
You know this may sound really heartless but heart has nothing to do with this comment, only sensibility. Anyway, I have never once felt sorry for the people affected by tsunamis or volcanos or avalanches because people know the possibilities. People know that there is a good chance of disasters happening, and to put yourself right in the path of danger, to LIVE in the path of danger, well why should it suprise me or sadden me when it happens? They were asking for trouble.
Dios mio!! como es posible que las personas ignoren el peligro a un tsunami cuando esta expuesto el lecho marino? Hay que ver lo que hace la curiosidad del hombre para enfrentar la naturaleza. Que descansen en paz todas las personas que murieron ese fatídico día .
It's hard to imagine that someone could view such destruction as was shown in the video posted, and then be so cruel as to leave insensitive, rude or even racist comments of ANY kind as a result!! (well, I CAN believe it, I just wish I didn't have to) Makes believing in your fellow man difficult, even in situations where the rest of the people involved come together in ways they never dreamed possible... to their benefit. Only faith in Jesus allows us to understand otherwise unfathomable events.
By 2:00 i would allready be running LOL
God Bless all those poor people.
I know a guy who watched a tsunami and didnt know what it is! If i ever see something like this you hear only :"Miip Miip!!" xD
Is that the first of the monster wave that follows it? If not, it's still pretty severe.
I heard the waves were as high as 35m in places. Does anyone have any of those videos, because I still am unable to mentally get a picture in my head as to why so many people died.
the irony in this video makes me feel sick....i wish everyone wouldve evacuated to higher ground instead of watching...
its weird how the tide just dissappears before a tsunami hits
@aretnap11 This is 2004 tsunami..
could you imagine surfing those waves
I also understand that no Japanese tourist were killed. When they saw the tide go out so far they all headed for the hills because they knew what was coming.
They survived...they was guests in a german show
no turner60 or whoever is right. look closely at 2:36 and you clearly see a small boat being crushed by the wave.
das boat. das fisher boat.
das boat militare. (heading out to sea, perhaps they even went into shore to warn das fisher boat, or perhaps they had actually hoped to rescue the occupants in time )
I think the last two words is "go inside".
das Boot ist gekentert!!!
Ist das denn ein kleiner Tsunami oder so???
Poor fishermen at 2:35. The Thai marine are doing the best thing they can do - steering the boats right into the wave.
god bless and its scary
For heavens sake.. Run people... RUN!! :'(
did u notice people were already running even when waves were way out there. they knew.
They're wondering what that is because the perspective of that side of the tsunami is barely seen on footage. I bet you'd be like wth is that and hang out there on the beach as well.
man its scary there just watchingh it they could get far away and worn people..
was this the tsunami from 2004?
omg frikin god indeed imagine the feAR of seeing that
this is scary to watch.
wow...respect to the people who past away on that day..
Not if you don't live on the coast [?]
If i was there i would be heading for the hills
People probably didnt run because they dont really experience tsunamis like that and cant possibly know the signs. For example, the camera man. Probably European. i dont think Tsunamis are quite that common over there. So its not fair to call some1 stupid
I wonder if anyone survived from that group of really unknowing people-"what is that :" sounds the same in German as in English! How terribly sad - it took triple the time that it took in other areas to approach shore (3+ minutes) but was far larger than ones that destroyed everything - I kinda doubt anyone made it through-maybe they found this camera in wreckage and little by little they developed all the film they could find that people took before dying. ////
omg and they are standing and watching and the guy asks what is this...??? it's one big tsunami runnnnnnn,,,.....
did you here the baby cry on sec 35
If you listen to the German they don't know what it is and are wondering what is happening. She asks if a problem and he say Na, though then questions.
The camera work drove me bonkers.
did this guy survive
You can run but cant hide.
Well this video just prepared 510K people for a tsunami...
dude, you are lucky
Ahh this is the part where you RUN LIKE HELL!!!
Do they think they could out run a tsunami or what?
im sorry.
cadê o barquinho?
The military ship...damn
"was ist das? was ist das?" - hauptschule??
Lesson for the day? If your wife tells you the earthquake has affected the ocean maybe fucking listen to her.
December 26th 2004 r.i.p
You can't run from nature.
OMG!
Sorry, your warning is 2,5 years too late... RIP all the victims of this tsunami...
Umm...what you guys dont see the big ass tsunami coming your way? This is the time for running. Like..now.
