I am Japanese. I lost my friend in this tsunami. However, I will not forget that I received a lot of support from the United States and other countries in response to this disaster. Thank you very much.

社畜
自分は日本人で、津波で友達を亡くしたけど、アメリカを始め他の国々のこの災害での支援とか忘れないよありがとねって書いてある。

What are you writing?
We are all people of the same planet and Japan would help the United States if needed.
So happy when all countries help each other out in times of need.
First of all, as a Japanese, I sincerely appreciate for the support we have received from all over the world. Thank you very much.
10years has alredy past since this tragedy.
The earthquake and the massive tsunami took precious lives of more than 15,899people.
More than 2,525 people are still missing.
Your loved ones might not be next to you tomorrow. Please be thankful in being able to spend ordinary days :)
Sorry for my poor English.
Thank you for reading.
Our supplications are with the japanese 🇯🇵 citizens .
I just want to know one thing why does such incidents happen so often over there in japan ? Really wanna know !
Excellent English ! Best wishes to you
I can only imagine the devastation you have felt. I hope that these last ten years have eased the pain of that catastrophe. Your English is very good. Best wishes, and a virtual hug. 🤗
@@naimathkhan777 Because Japan sits in a very geologically active area in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Lots of earthquakes/tsunamis and volcanoes. Other countries in the PRoF include the Philippines, Hawaii, California, Chile, Indonesia, New Zealand...
@@mishasan7 Vancouver Island to 🖐🏼. We are still finding debris from the tsunami on our shores.
This cameraman tried not to zoom in on humans and cars . He was praised for taking the scoop, but he was so sad and he quit the cameraman. Now he lives as an artist.
It's admirable, and a rare quality these days for a journo.

The amount of power from this event was truly terrifying. Nature is still teaching us just how insignificant we are in the face of something like this. Thoughts and prayers for the good people of Japan.
we're only insignificant because the human species no longer moves in tandem with nature. The human species has severed their roots..
支援してくれた国々の皆さん、本当に本当にありがとうございました。
このご恩は一生忘れません。
You are very welcome. God Bless you and yours.
I will always stand with Japan. I have family there and you are a good people.
Muitos espiritos sedo resgatados, da pra ver varios objetos
I remember that this was the footage that disturbed me the most because the aerial view really shows the enormous scale and speed of what was happening.
I caught some of it at home then got to work and straight to t.v, this was the footage. It's scale was, well, off the scale. At every point you thought, 'this can't get any worse'. It's incredible and beyond imagination. As fantastic as is tragic, we see the power of our planet.
Even though the tsunami appears to be moving slowly when viewed from the air (as seen from the NHK News helicopter) it was moving quite rapidly.
Both this one, and the one I’m linking here are the most horrifying for me. The link is in Japanese, but you don’t need to understand it to know what’s happening...

rip to all the human and animals that lost their lives 🙏😞
It has been 10 years since the earthquake occurred this year. We would like to thank everyone around the world for their support.
God Bless and Preserve Japan.
You can't run away from nature. Check out "Day of the Killer Tornadoes" (1974).

So much devastation. May this never happen again. Rest in peace to all lost.
今見ても息が止まりそう。本当に酷い出来事だった。
Later the magnitude of the earthquake was revised to 8.8 and then to 8.9 and then finally 9.0, It was the largest Earthquake ever to strike Japan and the 5th largest Earthquake ever recorded.
Prajjwal Gandharv finally M9.1 😁
Wasn't the Great Kanto Quake more powerful?
What date did this happen
its live as if it just hit. Only said Friday afternoon..Does he mean in 2011? Or Now..Friday 5th 2019 is the day i saw it.
@@geribrandon7057 Well, the video is dated march 11 2011.. It was only live when it was recorded..
You knew it had to be a lot stronger than originally indicated for this type of damage to occur!
My God, this is STILL one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Can you imagine being in one of those cars and seeing a large boat coming at you in a river of flaming debris over what was farm land just seconds before? Simply unbelievable.
incredible ? are you okay? do you know people died because of this it’s a disaster a literal monster nothing incredible about it
@@jordiesmn chill not everyone knows english. They probably wanted to say unbelievable ot horrifying but didnt know the word for it
@@jordiesmnhe used incredible correctly, it can also mean ‘impossible to believe

This video can hurt my heart no matter how many times I see it. It is a must not forget as a Japanese. Even after nine years, I can almost cry when I think of the affected area. Japan's recovery is still long, but Japan is doing its best without forgetting the support of everyone around the world! .thank-you
1.15 you can see a white orb shoot out the water
ALLAHO AKBAR 🙏
I’m so heartbroken and horrified!absolute horror and fear! I have never ever seen anything this horrific in my life. I cannot stop crying. There are no words!
Thank you for this video and of course in English although I just watched local footage. Some of those up close river scenes! I have to stop watching for a minute. This is a Lot to take in. My heart goes out to those who didn’t escape and those who survived as well I cannot imagine. May God bless you!

Go AWAY TERRORIST

Just insane how far it keeps going. Still blows my mind after all these years!
It was terrifying
Frankenoise the main reason the tsunami reached so far inland was because the island of Japan actually sank several meters (I forget how many) thus allowing the ocean full access to the lowlands! It's hard to fully comprehend parts of a whole country practically being washed but that's what happened and that's what is predicted to happen again in other parts of the world.
@@mikegross6107 A bit exaggerated there. The Honshu's Pacific coast sank by roughly a meter. Three years later, it had risen back to it's previous state, and continued now exceeding its original height. What it also did was it moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east, shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in) and increased earth's rotational speed by 1.8 µs per day.
I am glad that you are enjoying the show.
I don't think people are enjoying this because life's and belonging were being washed away by angry water
10 years ago today on that fateful Friday afternoon on March 11, 2011. RIP to all the lives that were lost.
I can remember seeing live footage of this tsunami in school. I was too young to truly understand the impact then. I still don’t fully comprehend it. So horrible. Sending love and prayers from America.
I remember watching it live on BBC thinking this can't be real, it was beyond my imagination. Hope these places recover well. Keep it up Japan.
these area's have recovered well excluding a few small towns which were never rebuilt. however we can never recover the loved ones we lost that day.
God, it's absolutely heart wrenching seeing those cars with nowhere to go
It’s absolutely sad to see that. Every one there should have a 4x4 and cut across the farm lands
@@auto1640 You can't just cut across farm land, there are ditches around fields for irrigation.
Alloneword I assume you don’t own a razor or a pick up truck, I live in KY I cut across farm land and rivers with ease
@@auto1640 thats good. I don't need to own one to know trying to get over that farm land would have been a trip to certain death. You don't live in Japan with your truck. You aren't getting over the farm land there, like in this video. Most of it is rice fields and your truck isn't getting over the ditches in between the fields let along through the rice fields themselves. If you would have tried to go over the fields in a truck you would have been dead. You wouldn't have been able to go fast enough. That tsunami washed over land faster than cars on a highway.
Alloneword certain death lol maybe you would give up that easy but not us we play in the mud almost every weekend and them rice fields are puddles, if you look up what a Polaris RZR Turbo is , you would know what am talking about
Японский народ - я выражаю вам свое сочувствие ! Очень жаль ... Пусть Бог хранит вас и спасет всегда ! Мира вам и благополучия !
Unbelievable, but true. Most people got flooded in their cars while trying to escape. I think many people did not heed the warnings because it was kilometers away from the sea and did not think that such a disaster would happen.
If I were in their place, I could not have imagined such a disaster and I would not have left the city. :(
I'm sure the Japanese are well aware that their coastline is at high risk of megaquake and tsunami. I did notice a point in the video where it looks like there is a traffic jam of evacuees. That is remarkably sad and something we always need to consider when living in or visiting an area with subduction.
宮城県で避難所支援活動に二週間参加しました。
津波に飲まれても奇跡的に助かった人はいました。
今年は海外にいてコロナもあったから思い出す機会がなかった。自分の目で惨劇を見たけども、もう数年に一度、たまに映像を見て思い出すぐらいです。
貴重な映像が残っているのは有り難いです。次の災害時には少しでも被害が少なくなりますように。
当時小学校6年生やった私が小学校から自宅に帰ってテレビをつけたらまさにこの映像やった。映像見た瞬間「はっ？なにこれ...」って一瞬なにが起きてんのか分からんかった。
ほんで、どのチャンネルに変えても色んな町や田畑が津波に飲み込まれていく映像。
もう口が開いたまんま呆然とテレビ見てたの今でもはっきり覚えてる。実際にその場にいなくてももの凄く恐ろしかった。あの恐怖と衝撃は一生忘れられんし絶対に忘れちゃいけない。
Hi, I’m Japanese and I was 4 years old when this happened.
I guess I’m fluent in English because I lived in America before.
I decided to write this because recent reports say that there’s going to be a very big earthquake coming up in Japan in the next 10 to 30 years.
By the way I’m copying and pasting this to most of the Great East Japan Earthquake videos I can find, so that many people can read it :)
4 years old is the age when I was in preschool (or kindergarten?), and I was on my mom’s bicycle (in japan, there are these kinds of bicycles called mamachari that most moms with kids have, and they have seats where kids can sit at the back or the front).
Anyways, I don’t remember what I saw or felt at that time because I was so young plus I was sleeping... but my mom recently told me that the utility poles were shaking sideways, even though we lived in a place that was about 400km (248.55 miles) away from where the earthquake occurred.
and I think you guys know, but Japan suffers from A LOT of earthquakes. Earthquakes with the magnitude of 1 to 5 are quite normal for us because they happen all the time.
But that doesn’t mean that we’re not scared of them. We definitely get scared and worried because we know big, tragic earthquakes can happen. Some people have traumas, because their mom, dad, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, friend, or pet passed away from an earthquake. or maybe because they witnessed big earthquakes or tsunamis before.
In this 3.11.2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, more than 22,000 people have been reported dead or missing.
Every Japanese citizen pray and mourn the loss of the victims on March 11th.
Humans actually lose their lives from natural disasters like this, and in this case of earthquakes, people can die from
1)drowning from tsunamis
2)hit/squashed by furniture that fell to the ground (suffocation)
3)burned to death (by fire)
4)other diseases caused when a person spends their time at the evacuation shelter too much (this especially happens to old people/ the elderly, because they often have chronic illnesses/diseases.)
I don’t know where you’re from, but some of you might think “wow this is so scary, but big earthquakes won’t happen in my country. we’re totally fine.”. I know, I really know- that earthquakes are rare in some countries. But I feel like it’s still better to prepare for them. In Japan, buildings have become stronger than ever, and citizens have prepared things just in case. Most of us have emergency kits/bags to bring outside when disasters happen. In Tokyo Disneyland, all employees participate in evacuation drills that are held about once in two days.
What I’m trying to say is, preparation is necessary.. but even if we prepare a lot, sometimes we can’t win against nature.
Sorry for writing this long.
Thank you for all of the support - with money, materials, or words - people all around the world have given us.
STAY SAFE FROM COVID!!
I live near the San Andreas Fault and have already survived one major quake (one that my house did not survive). All you can do is prepare, and prepare some more. I have as many safety measures and supplies to maybe survive the next big one. I even go to bed half dressed and with hiking boots right where I need them (and I always have a flashlight). Giving yourself any advantage can make a big difference - because we know it's not IF - but WHEN we have another Big One. Stay safe and build up all of your preps - don't be a victim if you can avoid it.
My question is about the quake that will happen from 10 to 30 years, Which zone of Japan Exactly?
Yes, Japan (Tokyo) in specific is still waiting for the BIG ONE (biggest earthquake ever recorded) that will hit the Tokyo area soon, the Japanese have been waiting for it for a long time already.
@@XaviMD3KB Tokyo, it has been clear for many years now already for the Japanese people because the expected earthquake hasnt come yet on the predicted date so it can be any time soon.
@@XaviMD3KB as @MusicIsLegal wrote, it’s said to be around Tokyo, Yokohama(south of Tokyo), Saitama(north of Tokyo), and Chiba(East of Tokyo).
And that’s because there are THREE plates overlapping each other under those areas.
I'll never forget about watching this live in the US, at 2 am in the morning. All I could think about was how helpless of a situation some of those people were in. Overall, the Japanese knew exactly what to do, but had never experienced something like this in a full scale. If you were in a car trying to get away, and you weren't going due west, you may have literally ran right into the tsunami water and debris. A nightmare situation to say the least.
2 am in the morning huh
apparently you do forget because it wasnt close to 2am anywhere in the US when this happened, it was like 7am or later on the west coast
@@alexk2454lol called him out about the time he saw a video lmao 😂
@@alexk2454 "on the west coast"
@CODCritic101 called him out about watching it happen LIVE on the west coast of the US, this was not happening LIVE at 2am PT, it would have been 7am or later.
I have lived in Fukushima since I was born. We would like to thank the people of each country for their support in this disaster.

Crazy how time passes.
Definitely changed what I thought a tsunami was.
I know right. I keep stumbling across more videos. Hopefully they have rebuilt. Earthquake durability for buildings is one thing, but nothing can stop water.

BAD KARMA BECAUSE: The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums. The new primary killing method is done by cutting the spinal cord of the dolphin, a method that claims to decrease the mammal's time to death.[1] Taiji has a long connection to whaling in Japan.[citation needed] The 2009 documentary film The Cove drew international attention to the hunt. Taiji is the only town in Japan where drive hunting still takes place on a large scale.

After Ten years this still makes me cry ..So very sad to all the people and animals that lost there lives ..❤️
Heartbreaking even watching this 9 years later.
4:50 god it's heartbreaking to see those cars looking for an escape but getting stuck...
This might be the scariest video I've ever seen in my life. What a nightmare.
For sure. I can’t find this video but I remember watching it back then, seeing how crazy the tsunami went inland. This is worse than flooding because of the continuous ocean force that keeps pushing the tsunami inland.
Must be new to the internet 😂
The horror when you realize there are cars having their escape route cut off and are engulfed in this footage, the cars stuck in traffic where people try to escape on foot over the fields while the tsunami gains on them quickly not far behind. It brings you to tears but I think it's an important reminder that these catastrophes are real, and the people affected are real. This footage is heartbreaking and terrifying.

People seem to have already forgotten the 2004 Tsunami(which killed a horrific 230,000 people) to some extent, presumably partly as there was far less video of the events.
This was the first image we saw in Colombia of what happened or were happening in Japan. We barely knew all the disaster and hell poor people were living actually. Always in my heart and prayers!

I watched this many times. But it just now came into my mind what an amazing job the pilots and news-reporters did here. They were in extreme danger as well. Nowhere to land in case of an engine-malfunction. Any issue with the helicopter would have meant certain death. They have been very courageous indeed.
This footage is the defining moment for Hydrologists. The News reporter was very unaware of the information he was filming being studied to this day. The reporter couldn't comprehend anything he could see. The speed and velocity of the waters racing in. The enormity of the waves offshore.
Exactly "We do not know the extent of the damage", yet he is in a helicopter from a 100 feet up or so and can watch literally several miles of water inundating the coastline thats a the poor met guy for you lol.

This was a bad spot as there was little chance of reaching higher ground. RIP to all the souls and their families. Ten years later and it's still hard to come to terms with this tragedy.
yes so very sad. all them cars with people in it had no were to go
@Guppy's Gaming Channel There's a few happier stories about people being swept up in the wave and then landing in the perfect spot to live and tell the tale. It took 10 years for some to finally speak up, as those were some upsetting memories.

I know it’s 11 years later but my first time watching this event and it’s absolutely Horrifying! I see cars washed away! My heart breaks watching this. May God bless Japan!
I remember when my parents were just serving dinner at sunset when news of the disaster was unfolding across our tv screen. I remember everyone was seated at the table but I was standing up, gazing at the television with a look of absolute worry and horror. They kept cutting to the broadcasters afterward so I was ready to leave the room when suddenly they mentioned the power plant damage and it being worse than Chernobyl. Having spent a lot of time researching about Chernobyl on my own, the sheer shock and sickness I felt in my stomach upon hearing that is something I won't soon forget.
I remember watching this live on the tv with my mother and we were just speechless, it kept traveling and traveling inland, it felt like the entire country was being swallowed! Increadibly scary!
This was a horrific day for Japan. God bless the souls of the thousands killed and for those still missing and their families .🙏🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

How creepy and devastating it was, seeing the water strongly running everywhere and destroyed all these things and the people who trapped and died during this tragic event. May the soul of these people rest peacefully and the people who were safe you're blessed and fortified that you overcome this.
i really teared up watching this footage, it breaks my heart knowing how many people lost their homes, loved ones and their lives…i can’t even imagine what it was like having to hurry and leave to get to as far as you can away from the tsunami…:( i hope all the lost souls from the tsunami find their way home ❤️
これが今から6年前に起きたんですよねぇ・・・。この当時、私は長野県の奈良井ダムで仕事をしたあと、中央道で東京に戻る途中でした。ラジオで地震の報道を聴き、諏訪サービスエリアで津波の映像を観た時は、その現実を直ぐに受け入れる事が出来ず、これは何かの特撮映像なのか等と一瞬思いました。
I would love to be able to write Japanese so I could understand what their saying.
WE WATCHIN TV
Translation
This is what happened 6 years ago
That day when the earthquake stroke I had just finished my work at the Narai dam and was on my way back to Tokyo by the chudo(highway). I heard the news of the tsunami by radio and when I stopped by at the coverage area and saw the video of the tsunami I was so shocked that I couldn’t take it as a reality.
1:15-1:30 nobody seems to notice the white streak go from left to right
No matter how many times i see this..it still shocks me 😢
もし自分が津波にのみ込まれた事を想像したらゾッとした。
私は道民ですが、当時私は小学生で地震が来たのは震度4。
津波注意報が日本全域出していたあの真っ赤な図は今でも覚えている。
The scope and power of this tsunami is difficult to believe. Incredible. R.I.P. to those who lost their lives.
Imagine how devastating tsunamis were during ancient Japan.
Many of these people had Zero notice or heard a tsunami warning last minute and got swept away.
RIP to all victims.
in ancient japan the clean-up process was way easier, as there wasn't plastic and metal and wires and toxic garbage like there is today. hell, in the old days, they could have just left everything as it remained after the tsunami -- like one huge compost pile, minus the victims of course -- and everything would have been pristine and verdant after a generation. nowadays, even with an extensive clean-up, certain areas -- especially near the nuclear power plant -- are going to be polluted for thousands of years. that's progress for you.
😭
i watched it live i remembered.. first time to see a tsunami live at that time, gave me goosebumps.. scary it is..
この空撮を撮影したNHKのカメラマンは空撮の初心者で、たまたま撮影の練習でヘリコプターに居たところ巨大地震が発生しそのままこの歴史的な映像を撮影することになってしまいました。この撮影後、カメラマンは自分だけが安全な場所から人々が大津波に飲み込まれる様子を撮影していた事を後悔し悩む日々を送り、今はNHKを辞めて芸術家になったそうです。
It may sound strange, but after this disaster, and seeing the way the Japanes people came together and cooperated through this terrible time, I knew that after 11 years in Japan, I would live the rest of my life here.
I can't forget this. I remember being in London styding English and having in the same house a Japanese girl, who I befriended. I remember who sad she was because she couldn't talk with her family and I let her my laptop so that she could try to contact them or hear/read the news.
I was really happy when she finally was able to get it contact with them, but that night watching the news in live... I can't forget it. It was so heart wrenching, all those people running away however they could...
I pray for the casualties every year.
I remember my teacher turning on the news during class and watching the live feed. My little 11 year old self didn’t know what was happening.
I remember watching this happening live, not believing what I was seeing. And watching even now, it just seems so surreal...
I will never forget this tsunami. I was visiting Guam on that day, and the hotel told all guests to move to the 5th floor and above.
Wow thank God you made it out. It's very heartbreaking to watch.
このとき自分は５歳で、幼稚園にいましたが、周りの先生や友人が混乱していたのをよく覚えています。
I was really scared at this point.I was terrified like I'd never felt before.In Japan, earthquakes are not so scary because they are almost an everyday occurrence, but this time it was different.
7:37 epic scale it's a little sickening to watch & imagine theres not really anywhere you can run .. hurts my heart... god bless 🙏🏽

他のニュースで1名死亡確認とか、そのくらいのニュースしか流れてなかったからそんなもんかと思ってたが、被害が大きすぎて通信も交通も途絶してたから被害が伝えられなかったんだな。
ニューヨークで移動中のホテルで真夜中にこの映像を見ました。
津波とコンビナート火災が繰り返し流されていました。
Omg...The POWER of Mother Nature! I've never seen anything like this! My prayers go out to all the people affected by this!
Oh Lord, my God!! When I in awesome wonder.... Consider all the big world's they hand has made.. I see the stars and I hear the rolling thunder. Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
im watching this in 2020 and my son and his beautiful little family just moved to japam 3 weeks ago,i just hope there wont be anymore earth quakes,god bless you all
Unfortunately, Japan and Chile are the countries that always are hitting by strong earth quakes and tsunami. God please protect both countries.
The clip upsets me greatly after ten years. I was upset and sad then and the emotion I had is flooding back to me. My hear aches...
This is not ten weara ago it's all happening now....BIBLICAL!!!!!!
Nah....this is great. Thanks Japan for the tsunami....makes my internet surfing more enjoyable.
@@toyiaberry2364 the term Biblical gets used from time to time, but this surely was a Biblical disaster - those poor souls in the cars had very few options
จะผ่านมากี่ปีก็ยังเสียใจหดหู่หัวใจหน้าสงสารมากมันหน้ากลัวจริงๆมันกวาดล้างเป็นวงกว้างจนไม่เหลืออะไรเลยผู้คนมากมายสัตว์เลื้ยงต้องมาเสียชีวิต😓😭ได้แต่ภาวนาอย่าให้มันเกิดขึ้นอีกเลย.สาธุ🙏
当時はテレビを見ながら、日本はもう終ったと落ち込みました。💦
それは思いました
日本は終わらなかった。
落ち込み過ぎ。
津波については、皆が協力し合って日本は克服した。
今度は、中国が戦争を起こしそうだから、
都会の人は可能ならば田舎へ引っ越すこと。
３０万人以上が住む都市は全て、中国の核ミサイルが向けられている。
これは、青山繫晴議員が昔から、動画でも言っている。
欧米では、大部分の家庭に核シェルターがある。
日本は、あまりに無防備すぎる。
I remember watching that on CNN International. It was unbelievable to watch that in real time.
The debris field makes the water look alive. Heartbreaking.
Some of those debris were bodies I’m sure… 💔
@@idiotsandwich4912 pieces of people yes. The speed which buildings were churned up like in a blender, would do the same to a body sadly. And so many innocent people were lost that day its awful.
This is unlike anything I have ever seen. Just looked like it would never stop... and I see people walking around. Wow!
Страшное зрелище . Особенно когда видишь сверху масштабы этого цунами. Видно как на машинах уходят от волны , а на встречу другой поток и не знаешь куда же уйти. Страх и ужас .😭
Очень страшно. Беда !
Пробки, машины не успевают, жара! Финиш полный!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the people of the countries that supported Japan, which was affected by this earthquake. Thank you very much.
🙏🏼♥️
You're welcome - I donated as a private citizen. It wasn't much, all I could really afford at the time - but hopefully, it kept someone displaced warm and fed for a few nights. I lived in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina which, while not on the same scale as the Japan Earthquake & Tsunami 2011, was still devastating, but it was really nice to see people from all over the US donating time and money to help. Even just seeing the lines of private rescue groups coming in to town to help made a bad time much more bearable. Hope you are all doing well now.
Was 9.2 M Major Earthquake in Tohoku . NEVER , EVER FORGET THAT . Even now, January 11, 2024 I 'm crying every time I remember this.
ไม่ว่าผ่านไปกี่ปีก็ยังไม่ลืมเหตุการณ์ที่เกิดขึ้นครั่งนี้ใด้ เราคนไทยเป็นกำลังให้ญี่ปุ่นเสมอ สู้ๆ🙏🏻🙏🏻🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🙏🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🗾🌏🌊🌊🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵💗💗💗💗✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻🌊🌊🌊🇯🇵🇯🇵🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
I watched it live, just after it happened...watched for nearly two hours before I went to bed...prayed for Japan that day...
I was in 1st grade when this happened. That day I still remember I had some bad feeling as it was too cloudy (that image is still in my head)& when I went home & saw the news, they were showing this very particular scene & I was terrified!
Cannot even imagine how harsh that would be. Circle of life harshness
Quando aconteceu, não esqueço o torpor das pessoas diante dessas imagens estarrecedoras. Foi um dia triste mesmo para quem do outro lado do mundo (como aqui no Brasil). Nenhuma mente de cineasta imaginaria cenas assim.
Prayers for japan 🙏
