  • Today we're going to the northern area affected by the tsunami near the northern edge of Iwate Prefecture, around the cities Noda, and Tanohata. It's going to be interesting because, once again, the wave behaved very differently here and, as always, you can look forward to some interesting footage, which we'll explain and give you the context for.
    The video is for educational and documentary purposes only.

    I love the narration and the clear explanations!! I hope for more quality videos in the future. This feels like a new era for Top Topics!
    I also want to say some interesting facts.
    In Tanohata, a hotel worker was almost sucked down an elevatir shaft because of the wind of the tsunami. She survived.
    In Fudai, the water actually flooded the school behind the big breakwater by a few feet, but the water receded before it could do more damage.

    I remember watching this horrible earthquake on the internet a day or so after it happened. My god, to see all of the people running up the nearest high spot they could find - but I also saw many washed back out to see. Riverbanks overflowing, massive fires, no electricity, fresh water, food....it was so heartbreaking to see!
    The bright side of this catastrophe is seeing the Japanese people mobilizing and working at top speed in the rebuilding efforts of this beautiful country. I would love to visit Japan for a few months if I can so that I can get to know the people on a more personal basis and to pay my deepest respects to those lost in this disaster.
    Thank you for sharing this with the world on UA-cam so that a old man living in SE Arizona can have a glimpse of Japan through videos like this and happier ones as well.

    Thanks for posting these 3/11/11 documentaries! Please keep them coming. I find Tsunamis utterly fascinating. And who could forget the Noda “wall of water” footage down by the river / inlet? Much respect and condolences to those who live in the face of such disasters and whose lives were affected by this particular disaster.

    I love your tsunami docu-videos. Please make more. I would watch them all.
    I don’t want to be critical because I know English is not your native language. So thank you for doing them in English. I would like to suggest that you go through better editing to better your pronunciations and spellings from someone that is fluent. I know it will only improve your viewership.
    Again
    Thank you
    P. S.
    I’ve seen so many people who were stranded or running or fighting for their lives. Do you have many stories of survivors that you could share with us? I saw a man pulled out to sea on a rooftop. The lady that went back to her hotel and got caught at the last second was horrifying but found out later she survived. In Minamisanriku the people trying to help people up the steps. It appeared 2 people were washed away.

      Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you like our documentary videos and we will definitely continue to create. My English is certainly not 100%. But then again, I've made a lot of progress in the last 5 years. Check out our older videos and you'll see that I'm always trying to improve.
      There are many stories of people who have experienced the tsunami. We have processed several of them. E.g. Miki Endo in Minamisanriku. Mr. Hiroto in Rikuzentakata, or the school in Okawa. We will definitely be looking into more in the future. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best.

    In Japan, it is impossible to prevent disasters due to time and budget constraints. Japan has chosen to live with the disasters that will inevitably occur again. Japan will strengthen its ability to recover even if a disaster occurs.

    This earthquake and resultant tsunami never ceases to amaze me and put me in total awe of the power of tsunami and the difference from a storm/ wind and fetch generated wave. Tsunami are a huge volume of ocean water with such incredible energy and the initial "wave" is followed by a continuing massive surge of ocean inland. I'm born and raised in Hawaii in 1960. I was too young to experience any in Hawaii then, but my parents and grand parents were there for several major tsunami before I was born in 1960. We are so overdue for a major tsunami in Hawaii it's not funny!!! Plus we have had several tsunami warnings that never materialized, causing a whole new generation of people in the islands who have seen several "false alarms" making many of them wrongfully think they never actually happen when a warning goes out, giving them a false sense of security, which will one day cause many to become casualties when a long overdue tsunami does hit here!!! Hopefully the films covering the Indonesian tsunami that hit Banda Ache there and the 2011 japan tsunami hitting sendai fukushima etc. Has shown people not to ever think they are always false alarms. Because whe a powerful tsunami does finally hit the Hawaiian islands again, history has shown how bad theyv were in the past, but Indonesia and the 2011 Japan tsunami were incredibly bad and I hope the new generation of people in Hawaii will evacuate the coastal areas to higher ground well ahead of arrival of them!!! They used to happen in Hawaii and there was never a break this long before!!!! We will get one again, and history tells us sooner than later!!
    Thanks for a great explanation and some new videos showing the 2011 japan tsunami!!!

    I hope they did detailed x-ray scans of the breakwater at Fudai after the Tsunami. While concrete is strong the force of impact of the water could cause fractures deep in the structure, making it more likely to fail in the future.
    The oceans are the most dangerous places on the planet, the sheer weight of water can do such damage so easily that we can't really ever say we have a perfect defence from it. We have to keep inspecting them and often rebuild them.

    Question: @5:45 you picture the bridges and there is some kind of plant on the left.
    I have not found any information anywhere about that facility, and what it was, as it was completely destroyed by the tsunami.
    It looks like a wastewater treatment plant.
    Is that correct?
    I've always wondered.

    There’s a large black box on the left side of half of this video. It’s very distracting. It looks like some kind of added effect to make it look like film footage. Very distracting.

    • @TOPTopics
      @TOPTopics  2 місяці тому

      What specifically bothers you? The video is not in 16:9 format, so some editing is needed to make it more compact. If there was a black bar, it's even more disturbing.

    It looks like the people learned from Fudai what should be done to save them. It's sad that it took a disaster of this magnitude to make the shoreline safer. The beauty of a coastline view is a small price to pay when life and property are the asking price. Please keep posting your informative videos!
