  1. The problem with the japanese people is that they are so cool and relax in any situation. If they should have panicked earlier and moved to a higher place, most people should have survived.

  2. How strange it must have seemed driving down a road and seeing the entire town speeding towards you on a black flood. Horrors!

  3. いつか来る事は分かっていても今の生活に追われ安全なエリアに行けなかった。残念で成らない。😭

  4. Before I ever began watching these tsunami videos I was under the impression that the people of Japan were very intelligent people. But upon watching dozens of these videos I no longer believe that to be true. Well, smart maybe, but absolutely ZERO COMMON SENSE! When you live somewhere with a history as old as theirs is, and with a history of severe earthquakes resulting in tsunamis, for that many people to be caught in it is just ridiculous. They usually have a good 20-30 mins before a tsunami hits, but do they run for higher ground as soon as the ground stops shaking? NOPE! They either go for a stroll to check out the damage in town, or go home to clean up. But the most asinine thing they do is GO DOWN TO THE WATERS EDGE TO STARE AT THE RECEDING, AND INCOMING WATER UNTIL THEY HAVE TO RUN FOR THEIR LIVES!!! I don't care how smart you are if you lack common sense you're F**KED! Go ahead & watch a few of these & tell me you don't want to reach through the phone, or computer screen & just slap some of them for being so DUUUH! You'll see the water destroying everything, but a few streets over people are walking around with their hands together behind their backs on a f**king Sunday walk, or driving around for work! DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!!!! 5000 f**king years & they don't know to go to safety after an earthquake? DUMB!!! Unnecessary losses of life piss me off! Especially when people value their material possessions before their own lives!!!!

  5. Philadelphia checking in. .30 the boat cruised by. So sad for the people!! And the ones that were clueless as to what was going on and then got swept away.

  6. I'm still mesmerized by this. And just can fathom what they went through. At natural speed it looks like slow motion. Then you realize the massive weight it's moving around like a feather.

  7. Wouah there was a huge problem of a warning alert – all those people still out driving etc and caught by the wave. It’s crazy

  8. After the meteor that killed the dinossaurs, this was the most shocking event on Earth…still mesmerizes me today!

  9. Japan is expected to have a big earthquake in the future.

    Please take precautions to prevent this from happening.

  10. 意外にも歩道橋が安全であるとわかる。津波が来てるのにびくともしない。

  11. 本当にあっという間、亡くなった人達のご冥福を祈るだけです。後世まで残しておきたい映像です。
