March 11 in Tokyo

- Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a mega-city during a major earthquake? The residents of Tokyo have a pretty good idea after experiencing the events of March 11, 2011. On the second anniversary of the earthquake, we invite you to feel the experience for yourself compliments of this video shot by SNA President Michael Penn. Coincidentally, he had an HD video camera in his hand and was walking through the Akasaka district of Tokyo when the shaking started.

ずっと大阪ですが、亡父の命日がこれの前日で、社会保険事務所や区役所や葬儀業者や亡父に関する色んな関係機関を東奔西走してる15時半ごろ、ふと街頭のテレビを見たら
車がプカプカ浮かんでる映像が流れ「この時間帯に映画の放送するんか？」と勘違いしたほど、津波の凄まじさに衝撃を受けました。
親が亡くなった翌日にこの映像ですから、まさに泣きっ面に蜂で正気を取り戻すまで相当時間がかかりました。ほんと忘れられないです。
When an earthquake occurs, it is important that you calm down without panicking.
I am Japanese.English is difficult.
Thank you for your advice.
yeah i notice it no one is screaming..mean while in other countries... 3.3 earthquake people screaming xD..
you are well discipline thats why i love japanese the sleeping dragon of asia
Yes! Japaness people have a great reaction :-) I have experience two earthquakes both much lower than that one and everybody went crazy, we should learn from you!
Tursiops
Thank you
The same applies to all disasters, not just earthquakes.
Actually Japanese is harder than English. If you learn English hard enough you will master the language and that's the same for Japanese too.
What amazes me is how calm everyone is. They stop for a minute then its like "well i must get going",and they carry on as normal. A lesson to us all!
P Heart yes becoz they are used to it becoz Japan is the country where earthquake happen frequently like 3,4 Times a day so that are used to it and the building are also earthquake proof...
I have so much respect for the Japanese people.
Make no mistake. They are just as Shit Scared as the rest of of us, with one difference. They do not want to cause any problem by showing excess fear or panic. When these guys run you run too. I was in Kyoto when a large shake occurred some distance away, I noticed, as I see on this video an attempt get some humour going, which also works well . I was scared, but comfortable to be amongst these wonderful hardy people.. Japan A wondefrul country and people.
@@brianjacobi i know many Japanese living in Canada. They are scared, but there coulter is not to be a bother. To help everyone.
Yeah, like for a while there I am sure that there were some people thinking ‘man, what a nuisance, I am going to get late’ or something like that
I was watching a video of the tsunami in one of the towns some days ago... shocking really 😕
この日、本当に怖かった。被害の全体像は誰も分からなかった。まさか二万人以上の人々が犠牲になるなんて想像もしてなかった。悲しい。
My mother was in Tokyo during this quake, she said it was the most frightening thing she had ever experienced. The crazy thing is she was supposed to be on a train on her way to Sendai during the quake but canceled last second because she had a bad feeling about the trip. For all we know she could have been on one of the trains that vanished.
***** Yeah, she's fine... Thanks for asking!
PaladinO Glad to hear your mom's okay...
She had a bad feeling that kept her from traveling? Whoahh... that's... some prophecy :s
Wow... there's a lesson in Listening to one's "gut"! Yes.. premonitions are real. Glad she payed attention.
Trains that vanished? Must look that up
この日、私の上司は高層ビルの最上階で仕事をしていたみたいなのですが誰も非難せず震度6の中ヘルメット被って仕事してたようです。
やばすぎ
Respect to these people's culture,so composed...
Mike braston they are used to these things. Nothing new to most of them.
Well a 9.0 certainly is for most of them.
Konos P 😂😂😂😂
Arch Stanton 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They screamed and were afraid
I think the fact that an entire city district went completely silent at one time. everyone felt the earthquake, yes. but they listened all together. it is truly a powerful event to cause a city to all at once listen and stop.
That's mother nature for you.
@@psykonauttija2012 ..mmmmm
we have earthquake alarm set on all phones that would set mins before it occurs and start shaking
これだけの地震でもビルしなってるだけで、耐震の技術がどれだけすごいか良くわかる

Their buildings are so well built. Most places in this kind of quake would have seen mass destruction.
Yes. High quality..
I think so.
They have to. They are the most earthquake prone country in the world.

3.11が起こった時、私は10歳で、消防士の父が緊急出動してしまい、家に姉と弟と３人 取り残されて凄く怖かったことを思い出します。
2011年3月11日、地震発生当時、小学6年生でした。
東海地方のある県に住んでいて、卒業式も近いということで、その日は午前中、卒業式の練習をしてました。
その練習の最中、隣のクラスの子が貧血か何かで倒れたんです。｢一同、起立！｣の合図で立ち上がった瞬間、みんなが立って空いたパイプ椅子に。人が倒れる瞬間を間近で見たのは初めてで、とてもショッキングでした。
そんなことがあって、6限目になり、その時間はお世話になった先生方へのメッセージカードを作っていました。
その時のことでした。僕は自分の体がクラクラしているような感覚に襲われました。
午前中の卒業式の練習で、あんな光景を目の当たりにした僕は、自分も貧血で倒れるんじゃないかととても焦りました。
ところが、周りのクラスメイト達も、｢なんか揺れてない？｣と騒ぎ始めました。
そう、そのクラクラの正体こそ、この｢東日本大震災｣だったのです。
東北地方から遥か遠くの東海地方にまで、その揺れは達していたということです。
そして帰りのホームルームで、担任の先生から｢東北が大変なことになっている｣的なことを聞かされ、ようやく何が起きたのかを知りました。
この時のことを、今でも鮮明に覚えています。
Hands down, Japanese people showing how ready and disciplined they are even during a chaotic moment stroked. Calm, peaceful, united in spirit and knows exactly what going to do. How amazing these human beings are!

Tokyo's buildings survived a 9.0 earthquake...amazing engineering.
They are amazing engineers, indeed. I mean the stereotype is kinda true, a lot of parents push their children to do important jobs like being an engineer. My dad is an engineer and goes to Japan sometimes to work with them.
AlphaEckoNiner9ner lol the earthquake was nowhere close to a 9.0 i guarantee you if a 9.0 earthquake was underneath tokyo the death and destruction toll would be enormous..
+Lightdeaf z The tsunami did, not the earthquake. 6.5 can be handled by Tokyo buildings following the building code.
EndoRyu I live in Philippines there was 8.3 earthquake nothing happens to all
roseforyoubabe I don't think anyone said the epicentre was underneath Tokyo, it was in the Pacific Ocean and the epicentre was a definite 9. You aren't taking into account Tokyo's distance relative to the actual location of the earthquake

If this was in America after two and a half minutes people would start looting the shops for Electronics.
What the hell are you talking about? A similar sized earthquake devastated San Francisco in the late 1980s and L.A. in the early 1990s and no one looted. The same thing happened during the 2003 Northeastern blackout and countless hurricanes and tornadoes in the South and Midwest and NO ONE loots.
+Christian Gainey The San Francisco Quake was only a 6.9 while the 1994 quake near L.A was only a 6.7, You CANNOT say it's a similiar size with a 9.0 at all, Obviously the reaction would be different, If a 6.9 happens in Japan i doubt anyone will even notice it
PlNKUHOSHI best example the movie San Andreas
It was NOT 9.0 in Tokyo. It was quite a ways from the epicenter.
If this were America, cleanup would still be happening 30 yrs from now...
Here we see Japan's vastly superior infrastructure put to the test. A quake that size would destroy California.

Its seems that Japanese people really know what to do during the earthquake. In my country people are screaming and running like behaded even at small earthquake.
Goran Pavlovic Hahahahahaha lmao
Japanese have regular training for earthquakes, floods and other disasters. It's recommended to have an emergency kit, and required to have one at work. Despite pretty high death toll 18 000, it could be much higher, they are ready for any emergency like no one else. Unlike Indian Ocean tsunami 2004 where almost 300 000 people without any warning lost their lives.
@Columbiadvipa Anywhere next to the ocean you can see tsunami warning signs and escape plans. In hotels you usually can find earthquake instructions, in one of mine it said - this building is unlikely to collapse)

The difference between calm and panic is scary in this video, especially people from Japan who are used to earthquakes.
Wild to look at these scenes and realize they are around 200 miles from the epicenter...
I'm Japanese.I'm sorry for my English ability.
In my personality opinion..
here is important points for your safety.
1.Don't panic.Calm down.
2.Protect your head with your bag,and crouch down at safety place.
3.Get accurate informations from radio, TV, government website.
4.Communicate with other people and help each other.
I hope that this comment will help you😄
Yep but so over calm people a suddenly all die

It was one of the scariest days of my life. We couldn’t walk due to the ground shaking. I still cry about it every now and then.
PTSD. And the fact that the second one lasted almost 2 minutes and was very violent.
Every time I watch one of these clips of the earthquake and tsunami my heart goes out to the Japanese people! No one knew that day it would be their last day on earth or that their lives would change forever. No one knew that some or all their families would vanish. No one knew if the building they were in would collapse or that the structure they were next to would fall on them. I cannot believe how calm and structured the people were during the whole episode yet they knew in their hearts how frightening this moment in earth's history was. Lord help us, when it comes our turn to be as brave and calm as those that were photographed in this clip and be with those families that lost loved ones and possessions!

That’s video you talking about is one of those propagandas your country made.
My father in law is working in China and Korea before the war begin!!
He said that most of the women are working to feed their family, they treated the Japanese like God, but when the white man arrive this woman find that the white pay more than Japanese.

I also experienced this earthquake. At the time I was in school, and we were sent outside away from our building. There ground was making a really low, groaning sound. I'm sure you heard it.
It is amazing how self-disciplined Japanese are during an earthquake.
Japan is on top when it comes to recovering from earthquake or other disaster. Not only natural disasters, but this country faced two deadly nuclear explosions and quickly recovered.
I was in US at that time. When I was watching the TSUNAMI on TV, I was really shocked.
My friend, who was in Tokyo, walked his house for more than 4hours because all transportations such as trains and buses are stopped.

Well, remember what Japan endured in 1945. The fire bombing of Tokyo, the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the deaths of over 300000 people.

Earthquake or Jishin in nihonggo is a normal occurrence in Japan. An earthquake happened when I was teaching online and my Japanese student whispered 'jishin'. When I asked if we should stop the lesson he just said 'It's okay, let's continue sensei'. The earthquake wasn't strong so that's how they're used to it.
You sure about that last part? This was the 5th most powerful earthquake in recorded history, this is just Tokyo's perspective, not Tohoku, where it happened
Japan is in their own league. They were hit with one of the biggest earthquakes in the world and yet their buildings were taking it like a champ.
*On a whole another level*
This video is by far THE BEST coverage of showing the reaction of the people's faces of all walks there... just HAUNTING
Es increíble como todos guardan la calma, y la infraestructura no sufre ni un solo daño .. wow! Un país y una cultura de admirar.
This in my opinion is really scary because all you can do is just like wait for it to be over
14:30 - "All Tokyo Metro operations were suspended at approximately 2:48pm due to an earthquake."
Glad to know you're fluent in Japanese. Do you know the name of the J-Pop group singing at 17:42? Ever since I watched that particular part of the video; I have wondered what is the name of the song and the group that sings it.

You could eat off of the streets and sidewalks. That is so refreshing to see. No one is overweight either.
And children can just stay in the streets at night without getting hurt or kidnapped. Japan is amazing.
Japan is the cleanest and safest country I have ever been to except for the earthquakes!. The people are also really nice and polite. I was there in April this year and loved it.
When you combine a high IQ population with a culture that inculcates discipline and the delay of gratification, this is what you get. There is also very little feminism or multiculturalism in Japan, at least compared with western standards. Japan is highly homogeneous, 98,5% of the population is Japanese and most of the rest is composed of other asian ethnic groups like Koreans or Chinese. This homogeneity certainly plays a role in the fact that their society is so well organized, safe and clean.

Japan is on top when its about recovering from earthquake or other disaster. their country is so strong in recovering themselves. tsunami and earthquakes are pretty common thing to them.
Ash Ashtree
If you think that the recovering in Tohoku Area are slow ? You are right in one point and you are wrong in many.
Recovering are slowing because of Fukushima Power Plant.
I don’t know if you know about great earthquake in Kansai 24 years ago?
Recovering is so fast in Kansai Area because there’s no like Fukushima.
And most of Fukushima people are starting living their life all over Japan.
Most of them don’t want to go back.
That’s the problem.
They came up with the very word Tsunami
Their streets are cleaner than most of our restaurants.

Some comments here underestimates it, some overestimates it. The video is taken in Tokyo, which is far away from the epicenter (like, the the distance from one end of Ohio to the other end). So, people are calm because of that. And so, no, the buildings you saw did not survive a 9.0 earthquake, though they are believed to be pretty strong. OTOH, yes, the shaking is mild in the video but if you search for video of cities that are closer, like, at Sendai, the scenes are much more dramatic.
According to the Mercalli scale, Tokyo experienced an intensity of VII (very strong.) That's roughly the same intensity that downtown Los Angeles experienced in the Northridge quake. But keep it mind that Northridge lasted 10-20 seconds. The 9.0 earthquake lasted for 6 minutes.
The shaking in Tokyo was not mild by any means. It is the effect of video + being on the street which makes shaking look smaller than it is. Tokyo got a spectrum from 5- to 6- on Shindo scale, which is sick strong and is able to destroy buildings. When it comes to Sendai and places where shaking was 7 on Shindo scale, most buildings survived the earthquake. It was very old and shabby houses which went down.
MegaFukuoka I agree. It's hard to tell whether the shaking is strong in some videos of the earthquake. But I can tell you that I was in Kanagawa prefecture west of Tokyo (about 5+ on the shindo scale), and it was the scariest thing I've been through. It felt like being on a cruise ship about to capsize.
+Rebecca Sanders +1, I was in a high building in Tokyo and it was a life and death experience, I seriously thought we are not going through it in one piece.
I was in Tokyo on that day as well. I've been through thousands of earthquakes big and small, but it was the first and only time I ever heard the loud squeaking sound from walls of a building. It trembled insanely long, and the second impact hit again shortly after the first one. I literally thought the building was gonna fall. I know Tohoku experienced much more horrible things than Tokyo, but that moment in Tokyo was definitely something way beyond normal.
Everyone: **running around, don't know what to do**
These four girls: **staying calm and talking with each other**
I remember the news of this earthquake, it was so heartbreaking, even for someone like me thousands of miles away (I'm Australian). Even though the damage in Tokyo wasn't too devastating, in retrospect watching this footage is genuinely chilling, knowing what death and destruction was occurring to the north. And it must have been horrific for people trying to get through to their relatives in those first hours, with the uncertainty of just how bad it was and where the worst hit places were.
lately japanese news are full of news about mega quake that might(hoping it wont) happen in the vey near future... hope australia be back to normal too with all the bushfires happening everywhere🙏🙏🙏
Japanese people: So organized and composed.

I was working in Yokohama during this earthquake. I was on the fourth floor of a rather old building, and the shaking was incredible. I was stuck at work for several hours because the trains stopped running. I remember multiple aftershocks for many days, some of which would be considered large earthquakes on their own. You could not call anyone on your cell phone, nor could you text. The whole system was overwhelmed. Luckily, data still worked, and I could post on Facebook (I had an iphone at this time) that I was fine. What's going on right now with the COVID-19 pandemic is kind of similar, but in a much slower, drawn out manner. The feeling of uncertainty is the same.
Everyone: *WATCH OUT EARTHQUAKE*
Japanese:
The employees seem so nice to the elder ppl
Anywhere else in the world those buildings would’ve come crashing down. Utmost respect for Japanese engineers.
In some cities of the US the looting would start before the shaking ended.

+Christian Gainey Both the earthquakes you're talking about were under 7.0 magnitude. This was a 9.0.
Like L.A.
I've never heard of looting in the U.S. except for hurricane Katrina. And that's because it was damn near impossible to receive any type of help for weeks and they were hungry.
@@minakoa7178 The magnitude was equivalent to a 7.0 in Tokyo. It was a 9.0 AT the actual fault.
I wonder if it's really safer in the street. Japanese buildings are built pretty strongly earthquake resistant, so the structures are unlikely to crumble. But there could easily be windows popping out and similar things falling off. Lot of these buildings look pretty high. A plate of glass falling 10 stories is extremely dangerous.
正解！揺れてる最中は建物の中で、机の下に入って頭や身体を守るように幼稚園から訓練します
しかし、建物は崩れませんが『歪み』は起きる可能性があります
建物が歪むとドアや窓が開かなくなり建物内に閉じ込められる可能性があるので、揺れがある程度収まったら外の安全な場所(学校の校庭や、広い公園など)に避難する
というのが日本の地震の訓練なので、人が後からたくさん出てきたのは幼い頃からの訓練通りでした
あなたの仰る通り、高所からの看板やガラスの落下も十分考えられるので、映ってる彼らは建物からもっと離れた方が良かったですね
でも日本人なりにパニックを起こしているので難しかったかもしれません😅
心配してくれてありがとうございました😊❤️
It's a good thing Japan has such strict building codes... in a lot of countries an earthquake like that would have flattened a lot of buidlings.
This is why i love japan
God bless Japan and the Japanese people always & keep them safety and healthy always...for remembrance the earthquake on 10 March 2011....
