- People ran for their lives as a tsunami struck Greenland’s west coast on June 17. The tsunami waves were reported after 4.1 magnitude earthquake hit north of the village of Nuugaatsiaq.
At least four people went missing in the surge of water, BBC reported. Homes in Nuugaatsiaq were washed away.

Why is it that the people who live along ocean coasts are the only ones who don't recognize the warning signs of a tsunami?
When the Vikings arrived in the 10th C Greenland had a much warmer climate than it does now. It's called the Medieval Warm Period.
Greenland does not get tsunamis very often last time it happened was like 60-80+ years or so...
CraigPremium and in that 60-80 years we have had great technological advances that have given us access to a huge amount of information eg what tsunamis look like and what not to do.
Purdies Gaming Channel not everyone pays attention on what a tsunami looks like and what to do.

The howling of those dogs, I've been a dog owner for many years. The moment I hear distressing sounds collectively from dogs or any animals, I know something is NOT RIGHT.
You are so right. There was one of those buildings that was a cat rescue. You know how they like to sleep by climbing up to a place in their big size enclosure. The cameras in the building watching the cats saw all of them wake up and get down to the ground quickly. I don't remember the exact time but it was about 30-60 seconds later a big earthquake started shaking the area.
Somehow before the pressure and force of the tectonic plates being released these cats knew something was about to happen and being on the ground was the best place for them. I wonder if they hear it or if they feel the shifting of the ground (although they were inside), or if their is something else they detect. If we could figure it out that would give people a good head start to safety compared to what we have as a warning of only a few seconds.
But to stay on point, you are completely right. Inside the animal kingdom there are so many special detectors to all kinds of things that we can only imagine as humans to possess.
I was thinking the same thing.
and what would you have done expert?
Thinking the same thing.
@@katiekat4457 Humans also possess these abilities but we have lost our way, we are no longer connected to nature.
Water is moving strangely. The animals are going berserk. Hmmm... of course, the humans stand there like idiots.
The dogs are chained. You can hear they're going crazy. How is it an animal with no knowledge of history and a life span of only a decade or two knows there's trouble. I swear the smart phone is making humans stupid.
Maybe if they spoke some english everyone would know what the hell they're saying and would head for higher ground. lol
Quick everyone don’t jump into all the boats
Ignorant ! Theyre first nations I would say. Why should they speak your language? For the sake of a UA-cam vid.. idiot!
@@pakde8002 I've had a theory that humans are the top of the animal world on earth and we actually go down thru the different species with less and less abilities but with the same amount of awearnes in some ultimate soul learning experience.. maybe.
Killing me watching the water recede! Every bone in my body yelling, "RUN!"
Same!
To be honest the basic rule is
WHEN THE WATER PULLS BACK JUST RUN!
Don't stand there thinking your're going to become famous from record something
And even if you did get famous what good is it if you arent living to enjoy it
Is it weird that i want to be the guy at the beach who notices something isn't right. "Fuckin saw it on youtube.. We gots ta go!"
If not for some people's stupidity how would we be afforded the opportunity to have these exchanges? 😜😜😜
I would add to that, FUCKING RUN but go somewhere high in elevation... 3 story tall concrete building should keep you safe. In this case, just keep running until you get a hundred or so feet up in elevation.
@@atrocious_pr0xy I agree with you. Honestly I don't understand why nobody would run if anyone has ever been to the ocean they would know how waves behave so when the waves left the beach extremely fast i would take my family and head for higher ground
They stood watching, transfixed, like a deer in headlights. As the dogs went crazy...
Lol u know the dogs were like come on u idiot humans!! 😂 not a funny situation at all I’m sorry. Just saying when I read your comment it brightened the mood for a few moments
called curiosity they likely had no idea it was a tsunami. you would have probably done the same in that situation.
@@joeynyesss1286 tide goes out like that, i dip.
Never ceases too amaze me how so many people especially locals stand and watch the water recede knowing that’s not normal or good. But it takes that massive wave/surge for them to realize “oh crap”
Normally here in Greenland icebergs break, and the water behaves like that, while dogs go crazy. We all had no idea what happened, we all thought it was some iceberg that broke until someone called from that place and we had to send helicopters. We had no tsunami warnings, and when an iceberg breaks, it is not that bad and all the boats go to the ocean to save their boats and they do not usually reach the houses or even dogs. I worked at the heliport in a near by town, the waves even reached us, but thankfully did not reach us. 4 people died. It was late around 11 pm when it happened. One family already went to bed. A baby and her parents. And a man that was outside. It was horrifying.
You’d think anyone living on the coast would be aware of tsunamis. Oh and the 50 ft wave coming at you is a dead give away.
With the human eye only seeing out tl see a few miles it wouldn't be appearant till too late. Its not super loud like a tornado
It didn’t look like 50 feet. More like ten feet tops. It is the length of the wave that gives it such power.
Where did you see a 50ft wave?
Lol judging by how slow it moves and the distance you can see it from yes it could be 30ft
The Atlantic ocean is not nearly as tsunami prone as the Pacific - or even the Indian ocean. I would think you'd know that.
so obviously the thing to do in these situations is to stand on the beach with your kids and film it for you tube.
How would you ever get such great footage to bitch about, if not for stupid people like this?
I wouldn’t consider this great footage at all. Pretty pathetic actually.
Duh!
"the beach is in front of their village.
Who gives a FUCK!!!!!
First that's scary, and second I hate it that people record a 3min video but stop when the action happens.
Abhishek Mahendru Would you stand there and keep filming or run ? Im sure they'll apologize for not entertaining your request . Actually the video did continue but this UA-cam video didn't show the whole thing .
Yeah, it's so annoying when people have to run for their lives.
The reason you only get to see those videos is because the peeps who stay and continue to film don't get to upload their video to UA-cam, I'm sure you can figure out why.
I dont know why you guys are bashing him, you know damn well you wanted to see more footage.
@@readbeard34 I'm not bashing and you are correct I'd like to see more, lets be honest, BUT that IS the reason you don't see the videos with more, people who run BEFORE the part where everyone gets killed are the ones who get to post on UA-cam /shrug, to say you hate it because they stop to run will always get smart ass comments :)
Seeing the water pull back slowly like that was one of the creepiest things I've seen.
Nature slowly loading the gun 😬🇬🇧
The way it stands up on its way back in helps me understand the myths and legends of under water beasts.
Yeah... I learned it was the early telling that a tsunami is coming and if you see that, start running for higher ground. Or one better, if you live on the coast and suffer a major earthquake, that means a tsunami will come. They usually do after an earthquake.
That and the panicked cries of the dogs 😢
You don’t get out much, do you?😂
when you see the water recede from the shoreline... run towards high ground!
the dogs knew something was up
Dog is smart, people are dumb
Nature knows
I caught that right away to if only humans would listen
Animals know ,yes that's what I said when the dogs began to make noise.
I thought the same exact thing. Animals are so well tuned to the environment they always know when something is coming. Especially dogs.
Honestly, I can't be the only one who's ever seen a tsunami video, so here's a tip: the oceans are not bathtubs and they don't have plugholes to let the water out. This means that when the sea goes out very far and very quickly it is CERTAIN to come back. So run away from it, you fools.
RIGHT?? I'm like, "Guys.... first sign of a tsunami? The water rushing out to sea. GET YOUR BUTTS MOVING!!!"
SuperDipMonster
Exactly
what why would i drive my boat into my house? Just drive off there is nothing to it, this tsunami was not even that big, no worries chump...
You would think that native people of Greenland, who've lived on the coast for generations and generations, would know the signs of a tsunami...even though I'm sure they are much rarer there than in the Pacific
+CraigPremium, not even that big? That's not what the National Geographic says: "Video from Greenland shows a powerful
tsunami striking an inhabited part of the island's western shore. The
disaster that ravaged the island late Saturday has left four people
presumed dead, dozens injured, and 11 homes washed away from the remote region near the small town of Nuugaatsiaq." Actually, doesn't that make YOU the chump?
The people should have been running a long time a go.!
A testament to human stupidity at its finest
ace dum women , that too with kids...they should have fleed long back, wonder if they are still alive ... idiots..🤔
In this day and age how do these people not know what is going on?
Jar well you have 70 million people who voted for trump in 2020 too. How is it possible they don’t know what’s going on?
@@duncangroenewald Correction, 74 million voted for Trump. How do you not know that?
@@the5thmusketeer215 Ok, we watched, what happened? Please update us. lmao.
@@the5thmusketeer215 .. stop. Resident Biden is destroying the Republic. First We the People need to stand up for Liberty & our Constitution.
@@duncangroenewald I know what's going on. The United States is sinking, we need to circle back to the Trump administration.
They should have been listening to the animals. You can hear them in the background trying to warn everyone.
I've been to a few of those villages. The fucking dogs bark all of the time.
But, in that tone?
dogs and many other animals posses a extra sence which tells them danger or if someyhing is going to happen.
like cows will lay down before a storm.
its like your gut feeling when you just know something or your intuition or subconcious whatever you want to call it.
drie wiel my mate said he had a hamster that predicted 9/11, the hamster also died under suspicious circumstances.
Yes normally hamsters don't shoot themselves.
We know what tsunami is, and I also have the same question, why were they at the beach watching the water?! They weren't aware of how big the waves were, they only heard the warnings through the radio sent by a hunter who witnessed the landslide slipping down to the water, which caused big waves. Unfortunately, the other village was really hit worse than this, families lost their homes, boats and 300 sleddogs. 4 ppl missing. We've heard that the water didn't pulled back, only that huge waves were on the way. About 150 villagers has been evacuated to some cities, the dogs that survived are also evacuated. They don't know if it would be safe to go back to the villages, because there's still a huge part of the mountain that is cracked and can slide down anytime. I hope my English is well.
Andrea J fake news, if Trump doesn't tweet about it. .... it didn't happen
Andrea J .your English is feeling better then England.
Andrea J thanks for the added information. your English is very well. God bless Greenland i always wanted to visit and explore
So what happened to the village in this video? Did those people survive?
Andrea J your english is better than the majority on here.
You'd think the vulture sitting there would have given them a bad feeling...
Dude, I live in Colorado, literally like in the mountains and even I know how to tell a tsunami is coming
Same with me. I live in Alberta, Canada. I have a whole mountain range between me and the nearest coastline, and I would have been running to higher ground by the start of that video.
Okay I admit I have no idea about it because I live in plains there are no mountains or sea around me. So anyone gonna explain me the rule how to be aware that waves are behaving strangely?
@@AB-rm5wh Well, if the water recedes farther from shore than usual, especially if it does it quickly, and the water is frothing at the surface, it's time to run. In this video, you can also see that there appears to be some level of side-to-side motion, which doesn't seem like normal behaviour at the surface. You can also hear the animals in the background start to get louder before it hits. Animals have a way of knowing something's not right long before we typically catch on, so it's a good idea to pay attention to what they're doing. Basically, if you're at the coast, and the water and animals appear to be behaving different, it's good to know beforehand what that might mean, and if it looks distinctly like the signs of an imminent tsunami, warn everyone around you, and get to high ground, though if high ground is too far, get to a large building, maybe a hotel or apartment building, and go to the upper floors. This is off the top of my head, but if you're going to a coastal region, it might seem paranoid, but it's probably not a terrible idea to do a quick search on tsunamis and other hazards of the region to know the signs. Also, a lot of populated coastal regions also have early warning systems in place.
Nah, you knew a Tsunami was coming because it says so in the title of the video. If this happened to you in real life you probably would have reacted the same.
@@AthamAldecua well doesn't the weather looks just too weird like if you don't know you don't it's not like after they saw water entering and while they were running to save their live they realized oh this is tsunami @Ben Kimber Thank you I hope this advice will help me in future.
There are children right in the path of danger and no adult smart enough to take them higher ground. SMH
I care about their lives as much as they do.
Umm did u see an adult? Me neither! Perhaps they were at work!
The movement of the water before it comes ashore is downright eerie . . .
The dogs seem to have gotten the message before the people if you listen closely.
My guess is they can hear the wave coming, I bet they all died chained up as well.
It looks like the people in Greenland don't have UA-cam, otherwise they would know rapidly receding water means run for your life.
keep talking like your the expert you shit.

Listen I can't be the only one that has almost zero knowledge of ocean activity but understands what happens immediately after a shoreline quickly recedes into the ocean... I'd have been sprinting the other way 30 seconds before these people did!
Terminator voice: "Get into the boat if you want to live."
I was thinking the same... Maybe they should get in that boat
Tumah tumah tumah
Not in shallow water..no thanks!
To the chopper I mean boat
Head for the hills is more like it.
The people filming are probably the same people who see a car on side of the interstate and come to almost a complete stop ...not to help....just to look😠 and cause a 30 car pile up.
As a trucker that's the most aggravating thing we go thru
@Eric Wellman huge difference in taking a glance and almost coming to a complete damn stop just to gawk.
They probably don't even know what a freeway is.
Dogs are like "theres some serious shit coming" humans are like "Ah cool look"
I could hear the Jaws theme song playing as the water approached them.
Of course if the ocean moves away from the shore more and more, that's a bad sign, but other more subtle tsunami warnings include, it suddenly gets calm and quiet everywhere, waves near the shore simmer down and/or the entire off-shore ocean seems to drift away lethargically. This video clear shows that eerie effect. If there is a shallow area far off shore, one might see a wave-front or rumbling white water approaching but this isn't always the case. Sometimes, the slow sea suddenly comes back and keeps on coming.
keep talking like your the expert you shit.
The second that water started going out that quickly that much I'm gone
There needs to be some worldwide education about what it means when the water dramatically runs out into the sea.
There also needs to be more tsunami detecting buoy/satellite/sensor systems besides the ones in the Pacific Ocean. I know it's in the ring of fire and earthquakes (and volcanos) are much more likely to occur but that still isn't any excuse for the Indiana Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean to go without any equipment and sensors to warn people of possible impending tsunamis. It's not like there hasn't been some very deadly tsunamis hit there, I really think it's crazy that only the Pacific Ocean is monitored.
and where would you have run to? couch comfort guespert
@@DLJ2890 no idea, but I know I wouldn’t be standing around looking at something so unnatural and thinking “Oh, this happens every day.”
Greenland is quite isolated. They've not had the education that we have. It was probably astounding to them, to see such power as this. What would you have done if you didn't know about the displacement of water? Probably the same thing they did.
@@0clockedin0 I would know that that runout doesn’t happen every day. Something big is going on. It’s gonna comeback. I would’ve headed for one of those mountains.
I think she said, look at that big ass wave coming in, we should watch it..
I've seen countless videos of tsunamis,and in every video I've seen,people are standing there video taping watching the waves come in,"do these people not know that when that water is sucked in its going to come out faster and higher with tremendous force ?? they always wait till thier neck deep in water to start running..lol..come on people
Dogs new something was coming, the adults should have known right away.
Only thing worse then a wall of water coming at you is a freezing cold wall of water coming at you
Terrifying! I understand that this was a "megatsunami", and therefore very different from a tsunami (the former caused by a landslide or rockslide, the latter by a tectonic event), and I do understand that this was rare, perhaps unprecedented, for this particular part of Greenland. Nevertheless, the HUGE waves in the distance were unmistakable, and they were moving at a rapid clip directly for the shore on which the people were standing. I have to wonder why they decided to tarry so long and look at the impending disaster. Do people get mesmerized by powerful natural events? I suppose that would explain storm chasing, and getting far too close to a tornado. Still, speaking personally, I'd like to think I'd run as fast as I could to high ground.
The only thing that makes a tsunami a megatsunami is it's height. The source is irrelevant. Generally, anything above 100m is a megatsunami.
Simply yes
I was there. No actual waves at all, just a surge. As with all tsunamis, there is no actual waves of any great size. It is the surge of water that gets you. The written hights of waves one sees in records and youtube are not from the actual height of a wave, but the sea level height change of the surge. Big difference, but people keep believing the later. For example: The 2011 Japanese tsunami was one of the biggest in modern history. The largest actual, true wave generated by it only measured 25 feet.
If you're watching the water move like that for that long, you're dancing with the devil my friends.
The dogs are warning them.
Greenland is beautiful in the summer.
Japan and Indonesia would’ve preferred this “tsunami”
Is this so called "beach living' I dream about? Must revise it.
And they standing there why? The word run should be universal.
Probably waiting for "somebody" to do "something" about it.
and that water is COOOOOOOOOLD so not like u eeven wanna dip your toes in it hell no
So this is a rare event. A landslide far away triggered a 100 meter megatsunami. It quickly dissipated, but still manages to raise the water level far away from where it originated.
So many commenters criticizing these people. These are villagers in Greenland, which is basically a subarctic colony, and many likely do not have access to, or in this case, pay attention to, the outside world. Let them live their simple life of wonderment, yes this was a dangerous scenario, but there are so few moments of organic human discovery these days that videos like this one are precious reminders of our natural human condition as simple settlers and explorers.
"there's a tsunami coming, I think our best chance for survival is to stand on the beach right at the waters edge......"
dogs knew something was wrong
If Lassie would've been there... "Hey, Master... that water is looking kinda RUFF"...
Watching the water recede is eerie, a display of the massive power nature can unleashes
I live 600km away from the ocean, in a country where tsunamis don't occur. The only way it can is if the Canary islands gets swallowed into the ocean and even then it wouldn't cause serious damage.
How is it that I, the person that should not be worried about tsunamis, know more about the warning signs of them than people who live right next to the water?
I swear to God seeing people so oblivious to the signs that the tsunami is coming was so frustrating, seeing the chained animals go crazy, the tide suddenly receding and the oncoming wave and not one person being aware of that made me furious.
Never mind if they are Inuits or whatever, they have phones, they have access to information, they should know better.
shooting the video is more important than life..
Fortunately, more and more people worldwide are becoming aware of what tsunamis are, and what they can do. Every time a video like this is posted, more people learn, and in turn that will save lives eventually. So the moral is - if the ocean is acting funny, don't stand around and just watch; get away, and watch from a safe, elevated distance.
The dog in the background gave warning sounds. You can hear them in the beginning of this video. Amazing
I have no idea why anyone that lives in the coast can't seem to recognize it. When the water goes one direction you go the other and fast.
Those aren't mountains... they're waves.
Rygith nailed it
... 😁..Interstellar
Thats a hell of a movie. So good
When you see the water retreat quickly like that GET TO HIGH GROUND

It's so strange how dogs freak out over big natural events. I remember the dogs going crazy just at the beginning of a total solar eclipse we had last year. I've also heard of dogs barking their heads off just before a big earthquake hits. Dogs must have an extra sense we don't have.
They do... Dogs have even warned their owners of on coming seizures their human was going to have.

Had a dear friend and his wife lived through the Boxer Day tsunami in Buhket. The video of the lone guy standing on the beach frozen in terror is the view they had from the high ground they were on.
1:27 when the water stopped coming on shore...that's when I run!
Red L You ran too late dude

Parenting at its finest. Obvious sign something is wrong when the water starts flowing out to sea. How can you not know the warning signs of a tsunami when you live by the ocean.
To all the comments below, tsunami waves don't all start with water withdrawing from the beach. That only happens when the trough of the wave arrives first. Half the time the crest can arrive first and that may be seen as a large wave coming in.
If you ever see the water level decline rapidly, run for the hills
"i was going to run but then got cold feet"
🤣👍
I hope they were all safe.
All I did while watching this Video was internally scream "RUN YOU FOOLS!!"
keep talking like your the expert you shit.
Having grown up in Hawaii, we all knew exactly what the Tsunami signs are and if any of them ever occur, especially a change in the water level not typical of usual wave activity.... get your ass to higher ground ASAP!! So sad.
More of a surge than a tsunami. Even so, the setting and barking made it eerie.
That was a tsunami. Albeit a small one.
Unmyia! Yelled from a person and dogs yelping... when you hear that in Greenland run!
The way water pulled back just before tsunami was an indication
UA-cam’s insane love for recommending tsunami videos is now getting over the top.
Tides up that way can run 20ft or better. Check videos on Newfoundland Bay that will show you the dramatic rise and fall of high tide low tide. And if you've never seen it you might think you were in for a big one.
David Bennett - The first logical comment I've seen so far.
I wonder if those kids know what "Natural Selection" is?
Tsunamis are scary, but whats even scarier is that someone is still filming in 240p resolution.
The moment the ocean begins to pull away from the beach, you RUN!!
Sad for those who lost lives & property!
I'm sorry but what are these fools doing filming and starting at this tsunami until it actually hits & then they run like it just came upon them?! They had at least 5 minutes to get going, but they just stood here yelling about it. Sheesh!
Nice to see a different view for a change.
The poor dogs, you can hear them screaming in the back.
The dogs already knew it, but these idiots didn't realise, I hope atleast the dogs were not tied up.
I like the part when they notice that it will eventually get to where they are.
Amazed at after the 2004 and 2011 Sea and Japanese Tsunami people still stand and watch.
This people might have never experienced anything like this, no idea what a tsunami is, and yet I can tell you the dogs in the village already knew something was very wrong.
What in the heck is that on the left? What's that weird transition in the horizon?
Why the fuck did she run? Come on! Keep recording! It's just sea flowing backwards. Quite normal isn't it?
The water quickly leaving
me instantly thinking about 7th grade science and running like hell for high ground.
such carelessness, that's what scares the most here
Who doesn’t know when the water recedes A LOT it’s gonna be hell on a wave coming back!
The dogs barks are creepy. Did they even survive is the question?
Obi-Wan Kenobi - "I have a high ground"
Tsunami - "Not this time my friend"
Brilliant woman filming
strange no earthquakes even close to that part of Iceland. when you see the ocean waves creasting like they do in this video run to higher ground before they come in..
Al Armstrong That's not Iceland but Greenland (Denmark)
A huge landslide caused the tsunami. Seismograms showed an earthquake at
the same time, but it has been determined that the seismic signals were
generated by the landslide itself, not an earthquake.
actually geologist believe this tsunami was caused by a land slide. If a landslide is big enough and the ocean is in the direct path of the land slide it can cause a mega tsunami. Many times bigger then a tsunami caused by earthquakes. Here is a good read about the Mega Tsunami (largest recorded tsunami) in Alaska caused by a massive land slide. You can find many videos about this same tsunami here on Yourube.
+T Rex geology.com/records/biggest-tsunami.shtml here is the link
Al Armstrong remember they have landslides under the ocean too..not to mention erratic gravity shifts in the poles
This was caused by a massive landslide in the fjords, the people heard a loud sound thats why some of them were there outside watching the waters at close to midnight. Tsunamis is not that common in Greenland, this people never expected this to happen in their lifetime. Some comments here are beyond ignorance, calling this people stupid is an insult esp. To them who lost all they have in this disaster.
D. Henriksen I don't live anywhere near a coast and I still know the obvious warning signs of a tsunami. There's no excuse for ignorance
D. Henriksen I also live very far from the coast and most people that live by the coast have never experienced a tsunami. However I can assure you 99% of us would know how to recognize a warning or and what to do. Ignorance or just being a plain idiot doesn't justify theses people's reaction.
nehorlavazapalka just because you have a low IQ, doesn't mean you shouldn't have common sense.
common sense is tied to IQ, the correlation is quite strong... it takes a lot fo indoctrination to beat the common sense out of rel. high IQ people
they have never thought about waves (their form) in their lives, despite living next to shore
well put bro
Amazing how quickly the tide gets sucked out, before it comes rolling back in. During a big tsunami event like 2004, and 2011, the tide can get pulled out for miles, before it unleashes it's fury on the coastline
3 minutes of my life I'm not getting back. 😂
As a fellow human I can say we are an incredibly stupid species who has no business being around nature.
This makes me so sad...for all of the villagers and for all of their sled dogs that were most likely secured with chains. It seems these people had never been educated about how tsunamis behave. Very sad. I hope we saw the worst.
Has anyone noticed that people near beaches think they can brave tsunami waves despite warnings from coast guards and media?
Just a little tip.... When you see water receed like that RUN!!!
