Can you imagine what these people had to go through? Watching helplessly as 90% of your hometown disappears within minutes must be one of the ultimate horrors. How strange it must be to sit down to breakfast unaware that the place where you sit will be gone by the time the sun sets again; that the sea and ships and debris of people's lives will shortly be washing over the place where your home is. I am glad the Japanese people have managed to rebuild their lives after this awful event - they did so admirably - and hope this never happens again.
Impossible to imagine, it's cold, snowing and you stand there with only what you are wearing, everything gone and nowhere to even sleep as night falls, just terrible.
I live on the west coast of Vancouver island and a lot of debris from the tsunami washed up here. As real as it feels watching the video it's even more visceral when you actually see the stuff in front of you. It really made you want to cry.
I can imagine a bit.. Ive lost 2 houses in floods but not like this.. Those people standing there are very lucky to be alive.. Minamisanriku was never rebuild😔 Its gone , forever!!! Cause Japanese people know that it will happen again and again.. Its in their DNA.. Its just unbelievable to see something like this and watch as really your entire town disappear🙏
More like 95%, and the buildings that were left were mostly Civic centers gyms and schools, because they were up on the Hills, and the evacuation centers.
@@Trouble-Clef that must have been intense.
I had a similar experience being on the criminal grand jury and handling evidence. Holding the knife used to murder someone was so much more real than just seeing it on the news. It did make me cry ...
At 4:17 you can see the Town Hall Emergency building being overwhelmed (upper right) where Miki Endo was taken while huddling on the roof. This town was one of the worst hit and suffered great loss. Never has such a tsunami been filmed from so many angles and places.
Where?
That red looking one?
There was also Takeshi Miura, announcing alongside Miki Endo. Both sadly died.
PS: This isn't the town hall, this was the Minamisanriku Disaster Management Center
@@cryingforbread where was the town office located at that time?
@@RealGilbertGan correction to myself, the town hall was actually near or it is the Disaster Management Center Itself. Or its what Pre-Tsunami wikipedia told me.
Worse would be seeing people in cars down there or walking around unaware how close it was to them. How devastating and sad!
Exactly...just finding out and having no way to beat the oncoming destruction.Once you'd be swept up it would be over.
The yelling usually means that they saw people trying to escape, below. That always makes my heart sink. ☹️
Half of the town's residents were unaccounted for, in the first week after the tsunami
Right...even if you started to escape..chances are..once the main heavy incoming sheets of water hit...you would not be able to move fast enough.You would have had to have already been up on the hills.
For most of this video there's a small building with a grey tile roof in the foreground, and just beyond it, the tops of several evergreen trees. As the relentless water gets closer, the dust from the pulverized buildings obscures most of the view, but gradually you see these tree being tipped over and disappearing from sight. They seem like they must be pretty close to this vantage point and if I'd been there watching them I would've been seized with the fear that the water might not stop and could get even up up to this elevation. And would I be killed too?
I just can't imagine the horror of standing there watching your entire Legacy, the town you grew up, and most likely many generations of your family grew up, get polarized and and swept away like so much marker on a dry erase board.
I am watching this, and I got emotional. I can't imagine the loss and the feeling of being helpless in the face of this. They have lost so many lives, so many homes, jobs, pets, the list goes on...please...if you live in Japan, please head the warning and go to the hills. Take you kitty and puppy and FORGET THE REST.! So much death......please NEVER build by the water EVER again....this was a kick to my gut watching this....may good thing find you......Dewey
If you wanna see the 2004 tsunami in west sumatera of aceh, This is the example of that tsunami 30-40 meters high, cause there was no footage of that tragedy when the first wave approaching and hit the land for.the first time.
The town hall.😰
Its unimaginable to most people to watch your life, everything you own and possess, your essence and way of life, perhaps loved ones in that water all die and cease to exist in 5 to ten minutes. Once the water retreats there is nowhere to really go. Your home and way of life has been wiped clean off the map . Unreal
Miki Endo, alive at the start of this video, is now dead.
I heard what sounded like a few different languages in the video, and it sounded like there was a lot of people there. Plus, I saw a small blonde boy for just a moment on the right side of the screen. I know it was an elementary school, but maybe it was a private school as well, that taught the kids to speak different languages, much like we do here in Canada with French. It must've been so traumatic for the children, and so difficult for the teachers and parents to keep them as calm as they did. That must've been terrifying to witness. .
I believe it was right after the Sri Lanka tsunami in "04", there were videos of dead bodies lying around among the debris. I'm glad RUclips cleaned that up.
Only the houses right on the waterfront would have been able to see the wave coming and try to run. The people in the houses further back never had a chance. I can't imagine the agony of those watching knowing that many people they knew and family members were floating dead in and under the debris.
Amazing and devastating ! And the same thing will happen at some point to the West Coast of the US . They've all been warned !
