First part of the SCARIEST 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.

9:54 – I always wonder about how many people were in buildings that seemed like they were going to remain standing, even after the water had been flowing in for 5 or more minutes. Then, unexpectedly, there's even more water and buildings that had been intact are suddenly broken to pieces. This happens to the structure with the blue roof appeared to be strong enough to survive. If you had been on the second floor you would've thought you'd be OK. Then without warning you're dumped into the frigid water and smashed by debris.
I'm impressed by the sheer amount of solid white foam floating around.thats a lot of white bead foam.
Now imagine this on a global scale at least 10x bigger. That's what's coming.
46:35 that horizon of fire with all the people looking into the inferno and their backs against the tsunami waters.
It looks like hell on earth.

Seeing this on video is one thing. Standing there, feeling the ground rumble and the water roaring must feel surreal.
These are impressive videos of excellent quality that can show the insane power of the tsunami in Japan in 2011. We are proud of Japan, this is a real test of courage.
בס''ד נבקש תרגום מובנה בגוף הסרט כתוביות בשפה עברית אותיות גופן בגודל גדול בכל הסרטים וגם אפשרות הורדה למחשב אי''ה העתקה למחשב עם תרגום לשפה עברית תודה רבה
Señor, ten piedad y Misericordia de todos. Que el Señor haya acogido en su Reino a los que perdieron la vida en esta tragedia. D.E.P Y consuelo a sus familiares.
Even today I don’t thing we have seen all the raw footage that was taken
I remember when this happened I was falling asleep and got an alert on my phone and at first I didn’t believe it. Went to sleep and when I woke up I was in tears.
We keep destroying Mother Earth. She’s angry and will take back what’s hers.
4:44 RANDOM VAN SPAWN
My most chilling memory of this is with my online friend who lives in sendai. At the time of the event we were playing an online game called second life suddenly he just went offline and we thought he just disconnected till this day he hasnt gone online and we didnt had a closure on what happened to him
The power of the ocean is truly frightening.
Seizon-sha no minasama ni kokoroyori o mimai mōshiagemasu. Inochi o otoshita katagata no go meifuku o oinori mōshiagemasu. Watashi wa egaka reta imēji o omoidashi, seimei no sōshitsu to hakai e no kyōfu o kanjimasu
生存者の皆様に心よりお見舞い申し上げます。命を落とした方々のご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。 私は描かれたイメージを思い出し、生命の喪失と破壊への恐怖を感じます。
Notice no looting, pillaging. Japanese people calmly, orderly waiting in line to get their rationed food at the shelters. Good luck with that here in the USA.
25:14 that car gave me insane anxiety
Why are the cameramen always on crack
23:23 you can see a group of people running for there lives with the tsunami right behind them…
It's astonishing the power mother nature has. I live in a harbor town but I truly hope to never experience anything like this.
It's so intense you almost can't grasp that this is actually real
My heart breaks for all who were affected by this near incomprehensible tragedy
I can't help but think about all the people (and pets!) who were never seen again after this day.
Stupid car horn
Before this, and the Indian ocean one, there was very little footage and none. Now the incredible destructive power of tsunamis will be available to show future generations that it's an extreme emergency and not a joke. The whole ocean rushes in, and shreds entire cities.

I pray these people filming are alive today and have somehow been able to rebuild their lives.. this is unimaginable. It's hard to grasp how massive this is.
At 15:30 the amount of water that comes over that what at least 15-20ft+ water barrier is absolutely unreal.. truly unbelievable.
tthis is terrifying….
47:15 does anyone know where was this video recorded?
Fight or flight or freeze or faint.
