![BEST 3-11-2011 Japan Tsunami Footage [Compilation] [Part 2]](https://www.wacoca.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/1672766174_maxresdefault.jpg "BEST 3-11-2011 Japan Tsunami Footage [Compilation] [Part 2]")
Second part of the BEST footage from the 2011 Japan tsunami, which was caused by a massive earthquake off the coast of the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011.
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami (Japanese: 東北地方太平洋沖地震, Hepburn: Tōhoku-chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin) occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on 11 March. The magnitude 9.0–9.1 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake had an epicenter in the Pacific Ocean, 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of the Tōhoku region, and lasted approximately six minutes, causing a tsunami. It is sometimes known in Japan as the “Great East Japan Earthquake” (東日本大震災, Higashi nihon daishinsai), among other names. The disaster is often referred to in both Japanese and English as simply 3.11 (read san ten ichi-ichi in Japanese).
It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that may have reached heights of up to 40.5 meters (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku’s Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, traveled at 700 km/h (435 mph) and up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. Residents of Sendai had only eight to ten minutes of warning, and more than a hundred evacuation sites were washed away. The snowfall which accompanied the tsunami and the freezing temperature hindered rescue works greatly; for instance, Ishinomaki, the city with most deaths, was 0 °C (32 °F) as the tsunami hit. The official figures released in 2021 reported 19,759 deaths, 6,242 injured, and 2,553 people missing, and a report from 2015 indicated 228,863 people were still living away from their home in either temporary housing or due to permanent relocation.

People seen in a building at 9:40 that shortly after is completely gone.
Brutto
Уважаемые родные Японцы прошу вас покиньте свои територии свой город найдите безопасные место для жилья будьте всегда здоровы и счастливы пусть Аллах хранит вас всех люблю вас
Water might provide for all life on this planet, but at the same time, it really gives zero fucks!
I really think this was one of the worst natural disasters of our lifetimes (so far).
Imagine seeing something like this, 2000 years ago… Obviously you would think that the whole world was being flooded, because without modern science, it makes absolutely no sense how this could happen.
How have i not seen all this? Ive looked up the tsunami footage every year!
Terrifying,,, imagine the great world flood
rockefeller mafia did it. you want or not, they put an atomic bomb into the fault a 400km from japan creating a one way tsunami against japan.
why? because in 2011 toyota planned to commercialize the first car running on water, ruining petrol monopoly controlled by rockefeller. 11 years after
Japan people are better to fight against those corporation mafias and give justice to all innocents who died from their crime.
The Japanese are tough resilient people. They are to be admired.
I was hesitant to hit the "Like" button on this as I do not like the event, however I do like the time and effort that Disaster Compilations has put into gathering and editing all these compilations, and for that reason only have I hit the "Like" button.
Thank you D.C. for putting together these compilations for us.
Gospode boze pomozi jim.
Terrible, apocalíptico. No es fácil describirlo con palabras, pero siento una pena profunda por lo que sufrió el pueblo de Japón. Todo mi amor y cariño por ellos, por los que quedaron y los que fallecieron 😔😪💔
Just damn 😔
I hope we NEVER see another natural disaster like this in our lifetime. Absolutely horrible!
🙏🙏🙏
We do a moment of silence on the anniversary every year on our earthquake channel, for those who lost their lives may they rest in peace and those that were affected may they find peace
I thought I saw all the videos and clips but some of these I've never seen before. What a tragedy. 13:58 that wave in the background! Geez!
I feel ill seeing the people running across the raised walkway at 1:05, to the further side of that red brick building. The water in this town eventually rose to over 130 feet. And by the marks showing where the water rose to on the nearer side of that building (at 2:33), it appears that the part the people run to had been completely submerged.
If you're having trouble seeing the high water mark, look at the building shown on the extreme right of the screen, then look at the 3 windows at the left corner of that part of the building. At almost the top of the highest of those windows you can see the line showing the level the water reached. The wet bricks are darker red.
The highest level of the part of the building they all ran to, is lower than that water line.
And all the windows in the building they ran to have been torn to pieces by the water that poured through, both going into the town and then roaring out again – which is what also destroyed the walkway.
Just terrifying.
As a Japanese who watched lots of tsunami footage on YouTube, the first one captured in Onagawa town is the most intense. It can also teach you how scary and destructive the tsunami is. Precious footage.
南海トラフは最悪の場合東日本大震災の10倍以上の死者を出すって予想されてるから怖いな
This has to be the biggest ever documented disaster
After seeing some of these clips again it's understandable how this remains as the costliest natural disaster in human history and one of the deadliest
Omg the man holding on.Omg.
This has to be thee most scariest thing Mother Nature can throw at you. This and volcanoes
Apocalyptic for those people.
this is a great reminder that we humans are fragile creatures that have very little chance against nature. May GOD hold close to his heart those who perished and give comfort to those left to grieve.
Kudos to the people who recorded this terrifying moment. This is so scary. hmm
Incrível como a força das águas arrasta tudo que vêm pela frente misericórdia pai eterno
Some of the most crap footage ever!
