3/11/11 was the worst day for Japan, the explosion of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the tsunami and the 9.0-9.1 earthquake were all devastating events for the Japanese people
I was there when it happened, but I was lucky enough to not be anywhere near the tsunami or the ocean. It is a story my family tells to this day because we felt that earthquake in our hotel room
“All across Northern Japan they felt it.” No. It was felt as far as China and Russia. I was in Tokyo when it happened and I still suffer mild PTSD from the severity of the shaking, along with the thousands of aftershocks.
The only positive thing about this happening in this age, is the fact that we can see it for real, rather than just hearing accounts and reading written testimonies. Hopefully that will help people understand the severity that is possible with a tsunami. Absolutely incredible and horrific.
how sad and horrible for the people, i live on the coast in louisiana, hurricanes, floods and tornadoes are a yearly threat, i've been through my share but nothing to that magnitude, i really feel for those people, i pray they never have to go through it again, once is enough for many life times, may god have mercy on their souls!:-)
I can relate to this. People dont realise the damage the mother nature can do. I experienced 2004 Tsunami when it hit South Asia. I dont even wanna remind my self how it all went. All i will tell people is to listen to the experts and prepare for whatever is coming at you.
I still remember my teacher in my college/university earth science class tell us if you're ever at the beach and the water is quickly going out to sea...it means a tsunami is coming! That class was in the early 1990s!
I will never forget. Horrible disaster! So terrible to witness the effects of this on Japan and the Japanese people. I can recall thinking, Oh My God, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. It's probably really off the scale. It's that strong and intense.
When I was younger, it was the first weekend I hated. I was in school when the earthquake hit. On Saturday and Sunday, I was left stuck at the top of the building because we were kinda far from the coast so it took a while before they could reach us.
Was close to Bangladesh that day and was learning a poem . How incredible is that, we felt tremors , from JAPAN TO BANGLADESH??! shows how strong that was. Look now, its barely 10 years and they are prospering again 💟
Hopefully he was safty. Idk... but im not see him on the roof top while the water increased right at the border level of the roof top. Did he have time to reached the top floor...... n hold on the border of the roof top?.. wah im so nervous thinking what happened of him.
It also was not determined until a few years after the Tsunami that an undersea landslide was also responsible for the incredible size and power of the the 2011 disaster.
It is difficult to find current aftermath video... I hope the country is making great strides back... Japan is one of the most beautiful countries on earth, the people are unique and that's what makes this earth so magical.
my friends uncle was in this tsunami. her family is japanese and they all went on holiday to this very area when the tsunami hit. her uncle has not spoken since this disaster apparently.
Same here.. that's so sad.. all because of a tectonic plate that was so close to japan all this tragedy and sadness happened to them and japan is such a tiny county as well its like the Tsunami just swallowed the whole country up in one go :(
❤this earthquake was horrible!!! The shaking was felt all throughout the Japanese Peninsula and triggered a massive tsunami which triggered the Fukushima nuclear power plant to explode 😭
Earth quakes, put whacker plates to shame the ground can handle the friction, what the friction can be abstracted from the water to freeze the shallow water or even move it out to sea? Water weighs more in deeper depths also has more resistance to heat and cold this is why the bullet train to space is so sort after literally training would be using a bucket of water and hitting the bottom of it would it be possible just to freeze the part of the water which handles the quaking? It could lead to water levels dropping just use balloons space hoppers for the something to cut through the waves what goes up must come down you want a water fountain building
Actually, the tsunami inundated at its furthest to a distance of 6 miles inland and at its highest point reached 128 feet! A consequence was that officially designated tsunami evacuation safe location points and high structures were inundated, killing everyone sheltering there, including entire families.
The Tsunami footage was really messed up when it happened, I'll never ever fucking forget watching a little girl pounding on glass, trying to escape from inside a van as she was washed away with the rest of the city... It will fucking haunt me forever...
My heart broke watching the movie and the video OML but their so calm and many people might have died it’s all because of the earthquake that made the water come
this happened on my birthday... somewhere between 2 and 3 pm in my country if i'm not mistaken... right after i returned home from school to celebrate.... =_=....
Whilst it is good that such video recordings exist, they serve only to emphasise the sheer power of nature being unleashed on vulnerable costal communities, and their immediate destruction! At it's greatest height it reached 128 feet and it surged inland to a maximum of 6 miles!
If it says rare you watch it... if it does not say rare you end up watching something else. Thats how I ended up here going "whats so fucking rare about this" But I still watched the video lol.
One thing I noticed when people were trying to drive their cars to get up to the tall mountain is that there was a traffic jam because people were going both directions all Lanes to go towards the mountain no one should be able to go the other way that's what we do here in America when we have a hurricane coming in all lanes are changed away from the ocean the same thing should happen there just something to remember for next time
You're insulting my country and a lot of people! Japan is in big danger because of tsunamis and earthquakes. Are you happy? Japan is a big country and a lovely country for all of us so if you don't like Japan, don't comment on this video!
i dont think so... 1 and a half maybe..but in haiti ,in 2010 they had a earthquake and they are like that was yesterday, thats really sad, and people dont want to help :/

I was literally searching up on Tsunamis out of curiosity only to realize it's March 11, 2021. Exactly a decade since this has happened.
heh
2011 you mean.
Same,suddenly Out of nowhere I wanted to know More about this and its 11 march 2024 😮
Same but for homework 😂😂😂
I have been having dreams of this. It's 2024, and I live in the midwest. Somehow this event left a mark in my heart.

Respect to the people of Japan for dealing with the worst natural disaster in the history of mankind. It will make them stronger.

Japan will always be strong,calm.
日本頑張って！
You're supposed to like the video for the content they give. It was a well made video, that's why.
They coherent powerful people always hope
I wish them a beautiful life
This is like Japanese 9/11 and nobody talks about it. 28 THOUSAND people died. How tragic
Here after the recent one.
Hope everyone is safe.
I will never forget. Horrible disaster! So terrible to witness the effects of this on Japan and the Japanese people. I can recall thinking, Oh My God, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. It's probably really off the scale. It's that strong and intense.

Might be different earthquake that you felt, tremors faded away when it escaped Japan for a bit, even people in Okinawa of Japan didn't felt it
I like that it also explains how tsunami occurs.
2 incredible, can't believe ,EVERYTHING was gone!! 4 those poor people!!
Scary as hell!
Hàrshíthâ Dévínènì you’re asking for death, basically.

I really hope they made it alive
Hopefully he was safty. Idk... but im not see him on the roof top while the water increased right at the border level of the roof top. Did he have time to reached the top floor...... n hold on the border of the roof top?.. wah im so nervous thinking what happened of him.
@Rushil Patel 70% from left to the right and 80% from top to the bottom of the screen. The guy runs from right side to the left.
It also was not determined until a few years after the Tsunami that an undersea landslide was also responsible for the incredible size and power of the the 2011 disaster.

I love Japan
Crazy how powerful Tsunami can destroy a house too much power
I believe that I can communicate with this gopher in my front yard. Your logic is awesome.

Props to the camera guy filming this while in the middle of disaster
An incredible video. 💙 T.E.N.
Imagine being in a arcade or mall and this happens 😳
Or imagine being in a movie theater when it happened
Someone was in a nuclear basement when it happened

After finishing school the most important fact I learned is that school is literally completely un needed lol
Wow it looks like the recorder was calm and not scared at all

I read they’re saying now there was also a underwater landslide. It wasn’t just the plate shifting.
Date: March 11th, 2011
Magnitude: 9.1
Deaths: 140
Damage: $12,000,000,000
Tsunami Height: 133 Feet
Tsunami Damage: $227,000,000,000
Tsunami Death Toll: 15,754
all of a sudden I wanna be a bird
This helped me with my work
Earthquakes and Tsunamis might be destructive and might sadly cause a huge loss of life... but they are just so mind blowingly beautiful!
5 mi a second... imagine seeing that go past a ship from the air.
Wouldn’t even feel it out in the open ocean

I have an English presentation about this. I'm from Peru and just learning English right now so I'm a lil bit nervous:(
Your written English and use of punctuation is good, better than some native english speakers so i honestly wouldnt worry.

Hope it went well.

みなさんありがとう
I hope you were okay during the earthquake, I was so worried about you guys!!! I’ve always been a fan of Japan
In many video s you see people waiting to long and think it will not be that bad...................., they ignored the warnings and died.
Dear God Above!! May all of the 28thousand people who lost their lives forever R.I.P.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Excellent upload thank u
1:02 , on captions & he says comedy city lol
My heart broke watching the movie and the video OML but their so calm and many people might have died it’s all because of the earthquake that made the water come
Please, Would you explain the meaning of the horizontal displacement of the 1100 GPS with convergence in one point ?..Thanks.
Not to take away from the terrible events of that day, but how exactly does a National Geographic clip qualify as a 'rare video'?
They say the whole eastern coast sank 1 meter. The sea wall as a result was lowered, increasing the damage.
i alway feel sad for japan
this happened on my birthday... somewhere between 2 and 3 pm in my country if i'm not mistaken... right after i returned home from school to celebrate.... =_=....

this is nihonhigashidaishinsai i was in japan in 2011 march 11 and i was in matsusaka im so safe
5 miles a second!!!
My mom and dad married at the same day and the same month and the same year when the earthquake hit.
Poor people 1
Wait, if National Geographic posts a video, does that still make it rare?
awasome videos
Not sure if I should like this video and send the wrong message..
Oh poor people So sorry....It just keeps happeing to you all....:(
A little late to be reporting on this after two years later
Every life is too much important. We all must cooperate and we must prevent for future disaster. If not we, so who?
Good in Japan
Hi This is amazing Todd hope yr ok 🙂 Hope you come back soon to sing miss you 🙂
thank you Mr.obvious.
Me watching this on sep 2023😅
So the guy that's filming this thinks that his 'VIDEO' is more important then his life? :O
If it says rare you watch it... if it does not say rare you end up watching something else. Thats how I ended up here going "whats so fucking rare about this" But I still watched the video lol.
One thing I noticed when people were trying to drive their cars to get up to the tall mountain is that there was a traffic jam because people were going both directions all Lanes to go towards the mountain no one should be able to go the other way that's what we do here in America when we have a hurricane coming in all lanes are changed away from the ocean the same thing should happen there just something to remember for next time
for some reason all footage of the 2011 tsunami are rare videos on every channels
QUE IMPRESIONANTE EH?,,PERO ENTRETENIDO DE VER,,YA Q NO HUBO MUCHAS IMAGENES CON ESAS TOMAS CASI DE PELICULAS,,POBRE GENTE.
I wonder how japan is now

You can search by after the tsunami but most were like a year after ... but it's interesting...
Absolutely fine, everything functioning like clockwork. That's Japan.
ok
even more fucked up just got hit with a big quake
i wasnt even born yet when this happen
:< God bless

but also produce stunningly beautiful scenes (not related to this video - obviously).
5 miles per second!!!! Omg.
it's not as easy as you make it sound.
