@Bhraihh The tsunami warning predicted 3m waves, the sea wall is 10m high, they never ever expected a Tsunami in excess of 15m. The biggest ever recorded in Japan before was 6m. Even people in designated tsunami shelters died when the waves engulfed those as well.
Murphy's Law always, but always applies. Double what they say and then double it again. You certainly don't go down to the sea front to watch as many did.
Sad that most of the deaths were the elderly. Those who were unable to leave there homes or out run a tsunami. Very sad. Imagine being stuck home and your son or daughter is at work and you are helpless. No one there to come save you. Just waiting for the tsunami to come sweep your house away with you in it. Can't imagine how scary that must have been.
Many died on the road, I believe, really. I'm shocked to see cars moving near the shore, I was expecting that people had already left the shore right after the huge earthquake knowing about a tsunami will come right after it. I've seen so many videos where moving cars were swept on the roads on other areas as well.
In a good number of cases, the drivers were trying to reach their families, there loved ones - the alternative - there is the idea of tsunami tendenko (proceeding separately/fending for yourself) and hope to join up after, rather than before, a widespread and imminent danger wasting the chance to escape. Watch ua-cam.com/video/wymX0J4G8r8/v-deo.html Tendenko: Surviving the Tsunami | Witness Al Jazeera English
Saw the video on Tendenko and it was very good. “Don’t look back”. The reason for doing this is to keep people going up and not down to look for family. There were very good numbers on survivors. A lady had to let go of her grandfather’s hand, fortunately a couple of men managed to get him up the hill.
Looks like Hashinohe is at the northern end of Honshu Island and the waves up in this area weren't as bad as further south. Still impressive to see though . . .
This place was very lucky. Because of it's geography the wave was travelling parallel to the shore and never actually hit the town. Some super-minor street flooding and some ships sunk. Those people must have breathed a sigh of relief after they saw what happened elsewhere. What I find totally amazing is how one large ship caught in the current zips by an anchored ship and then does a complete 180 degree turn in front of it and then zips back the other way just yards away without ever touching it.
The ships were moving oddly because of eddies caused by the strong currents. All waves eventually hit a shore at about 90º so the less than devastating impact was due to the size of the tsunami and local geography above and below the surface.
Hey! Is there any way I could possibly contact you (like through email)? I would love to discuss getting permission to use this video in a video production if this is possible. Thanks!
I want to thank the poster for his understanding of the concept of holding the camera still. Too many of the videos sweep back and forth, zoom in and out. As a result, in attempt to see everything, they see detail of nothing. This video represents good camera work. As for the lack of sound, I would rather the silence than the inappropriate soundtracks that so many think is needed to heighten the drama. Thank you for a post that one can watch and understand. Condolences to Japan and her people.
They are just big empty cleared fields, some of them have memorials built, and a couple of them left a single standing gutted building frame as a memorial.
@@aarongreenfield9038 while that is true, there are also many fully restored or improved areas as well... Mekrab - if you go look at NHK World Japan's channel they have a really encouraging rail tour along the Sanriku line/Iwata coast showing how fun and how exquisitely beautiful the region is, and how far they've bounced back...
Actually as the wave comes in it slows down. When it slows down the waves behind it join up with it (they merge) to create a giant wave. I know a lot about tsunamis I'm doing a report on them in school
It looks like all of a sudden the calm seas start boiling. That's the best way I know how to describe what I see here and have seen in so many other videos. I know that's not whats happening but thats the only thing that comes to mind. How terrifying it must have been to see this in person. I would've thought it had to be the end of the world and I'm sure that's what it felt like to many of these people. The power of mother nature, the ocean and just water is a powerful thing to see.
Siamo sicuri che sia tutta opera di madre natura? O c è l intervento dell uomo? Ormai sappiamo che con l operazione popeye gli USA provocavano piogge devastanti già negli anni 60. Nel 2000 sappiamo che hanno affinato le loro tecnologie e possono provocare maremoto, terremoti, tornado e altri disastri. Il problema è che le persone non si informano e credono che sia tutto casuale. NON LO È
Yah, looks like it was well controlled after it was dragged by water but no great boat pilot could navigate well on a crazy water so let's just keep guessing.
I was thinking the same in many of this kind of YT movies, they had warnings and 30 minutes time to go to higher grounds,!!!, as you said, maybe they thought that it was not that worse as it showed later..............
At the time, at ground level, the sea was mostly invisible, the vast majority of the people had absolutely no idea of what was happening. You can say lots of things in retrospect.
If they are unmoored and powered up, they can go out to sea and ride among the waves. Otherwise, they would just suffer the same fate as those cars still travelling when the tsunami is just mere meters behind them.

Psycotria. The Japanese had absolutely no idea of the magnitude of the coming tsunami . To say they were behaving stupidly (as in not heading for safe buildings ,not driving on the shoreline) is incorrect .The information they based their decisions on was not right for this event . Previous tsunamis could not prepare them for these colossal waves . This monster could never have been expected . Now of course it is different . Now they are very very aware of what they could expect , and at great cost Japan is now building defence structures that really would stop a monster if required to do so .
@@lindacarruthers3423 Hi! A reply after 9 years!... Japanese are educated about tsunamis from an early age. They experience several tsunamis a year, most not exceeding 1 ft.

Maybe this video "doesn't look that bad" because it was not taken anywhere near where the tsunami was at its largest. No one died in the 14ft surge that effected Hachinohe, whereas nearly 20,000 died in the 60ft plus tsunami that leveled the Tohoku area.
@@queemkhan2216 I read that only one person died in that city because the tsunami had not as much strength as in southern cities and towns. Other areas were much worse, but this city wasn't
I just watched a video about this particular city, and apparently the sea hit a peninsula which pushed it north instead of into the city. The amount that was making it in was mostly held in by the sea walls but apparently one person still died there.
@Bhraihh Moral of story: "If you are in a 9.0 earthquake that lasts for 5 minutes and you are near the coast - get to high ground immediately". These people were probably trying to save their cars, computers or cash registers. And it cost many of them their lives.
there was only one death in Hachinohe, a local lady drove her husband to his boat so he could steam out to see, she was caught in her car trying to get back to high ground. He and the boat were saved.
You can't generalise like that, it isn't fair. They may have children they're trying to get to, perhaps they didn't think it would be so bad, or how fast it came in some places. Or elderly family who would find it difficult to get to somewhere high. Sometimes it really is better to say nothing!
There was one small white fishing boat that looked like one person was on it....and boy was he steering it clear of roof tops and debris.... impressive. He probably saved it boat with those mad skillz. I'd love to hear his story.
Honestly, I've lived in enough places, to have realised it's a nationality thing. Some folks are weirdly slow, by nature. People in the states would leave immediately, but people in lower income areas of the states don't always have a means to make a quick exit. It's very sad and goes to show life isn't fair. If you hear the sirens or see people scrambling, key with it, and GET OUT!
Naw.....me getting to high ground right after the earthquake. You can wait for the announcement if ya wants...... (But to be fair, they get tsunami warnings all the damn time, and they are like only 1m high (and if you got walls, so biggie).....so years go by like this....decades......even generation for some towns..... so that kind of pattern could create a false sense of security or lack alertness (attentive, scared seriousness) to those kind of warnings.....until a freak record breaking tsunami terrifies everyone again.)
@@tinageekbeta Yeah, people get complacent. But almost everybody said that this earthquake was a lot more violent than the others they'd experienced. Should have been warning enough. Oh well, maybe these videos will help keep the memory alive for coming generations.
The Tsunami Sirens would have been going off for ages, many of those who perished have caused their own death because they chose to wait until the last moment. A few probably had no way of evacuating themselves due to health, age etc. Very sad indeed but also very frustrating when you see those trying to leave at the very last minute.
The tsunami sirens were NOT consistently sounded in all places at the same time. Sirens in some places only sounded after the tsunami had already overwhelmed the shorelines.
Not all towns have sirens. And the ones that do only go off when someones turns them on or makes announcement which could have significant lag time....or worse if utilities effected by the record breaking earthquake they just had.The tsunami hit the coast in 20 min after beginning of a record breaking earthquake that lasted for over 9 minutes plus many after shocks. Many people were still experiencing aftershocks and trying to cope with THAT as the water was already rising in places it never rose before. The coast sank as well as record breaking tsunami....it is just insane. Japan also has a large aging population compared to rest of world due to extremely low birth rate. So you have a small window of reaction time and the luck of how close you are to high ground. There were huge areas where most people were not even near high ground at all, so what could they do? So many variables in play when you have such a natural disaster.
They abuse those sirens, they use them for nothing all the time so people stop paying attention, my town has a disaster siren that they run EVERY DAY to "test" it
The two last (still) pick : how the two ships get there? It would have been the only interesting thing to see - ot to show at their side! Why that we can not see the "process"?
I think I have learned from this video more than just about tsunamis. Truly amazing, tragic, and terrifying. To think this is a reality that could happen at any time for some.
I am stationed in Misawa Air Base, about 20 minutes north of Hachinohe. I will never forget this day and strengthening the ties with the Japanese. GOD BLESS JAPAN
What Ive noticed in all these videos Ive watched recently is that a warning is recieved that a Tsunami is coming so why dont all these ships quickly take to sea rather than stay and end up being destroyed! Surely it would be safer in the open sea than in a confined harbour.
If they were already on their boat, engine running, they might make it far enough out to sea to not be drawn back in by the tsunami. But, with the larger ones especially, it can take 15 mins or more to start a cold marine engine and bring it up to full power. They are also extremely slow to maneuver which is a bad thing if they are turned sideways in heavy swells. Also, they not only have to contend with the wave height but the movement of the entire body of water. It would be like trying to outrun a landslide while the ground beneath you is moving in the opposite direction. Much of the oral history on tsunami told by Japanese talks about people who return to the ocean too soon, either out of curiosity or concern for neighbors, and are never seen again. Of fishermen who try to save their boats, a seemingly safe venture, only to capsized from the relentless pounding of the water. In short, unless I'm already underway I'd get off the boat and save myself. I can always get another boat, especially if I have some form of insurance.
I will never understand why some people are driving around instead of looking for higher grounds, despite all the warnings on tv, radio, cell phones...

Incorrect. There are many known 20m+ tsunamis in Japanese history.
The highest Japanese wave was 90 m in 1700s. The biggest known wave was 1700 ft high in Alaska.

@@queemkhan2216 I read that only one person died in that city because the tsunami had not as much strength as in southern cities and towns. Other areas were much worse, but this city wasn't
This is crazy, a tsunami is right on top of them, but people are still out on the street driving around!
そういえば館花にミニストップあったなぁ
Looks like a couple barriers made it less forceful. Is that correct?
I just watched a video about this particular city, and apparently the sea hit a peninsula which pushed it north instead of into the city. The amount that was making it in was mostly held in by the sea walls but apparently one person still died there.
Thank you.
Those car drivers maybe in the other world five minutes later... 😞
That none of these people try to save their vessel by taking it out to sea is beyond me. Not once in over a 100 clips covering the entire tsunami.
porque não tem áudio ?
Também não sei.
@Bhraihh Moral of story: "If you are in a 9.0 earthquake that lasts for 5 minutes and you are near the coast - get to high ground immediately". These people were probably trying to save their cars, computers or cash registers. And it cost many of them their lives.
there was only one death in Hachinohe, a local lady drove her husband to his boat so he could steam out to see, she was caught in her car trying to get back to high ground. He and the boat were saved.
You can't generalise like that, it isn't fair. They may have children they're trying to get to, perhaps they didn't think it would be so bad, or how fast it came in some places. Or elderly family who would find it difficult to get to somewhere high. Sometimes it really is better to say nothing!
I wonder if there's some people aboard those boats!! 😱😨😖
There was one small white fishing boat that looked like one person was on it....and boy was he steering it clear of roof tops and debris.... impressive. He probably saved it boat with those mad skillz. I'd love to hear his story.

内陸型地震
下北の出身で津波の被害は受けなかったけど、いつかのタイミングで八戸港に行ったんだけど大型船があるはずのない場所に打ち上げられてて、あの時は小6だったかな、初めて目の当たりにして衝撃を受けた。
In every video of tsunamis people are just going about their day likes its no big deal...i don't get that
Honestly, I've lived in enough places, to have realised it's a nationality thing. Some folks are weirdly slow, by nature. People in the states would leave immediately, but people in lower income areas of the states don't always have a means to make a quick exit. It's very sad and goes to show life isn't fair. If you hear the sirens or see people scrambling, key with it, and GET OUT!
When somebody says "Tsunami", get to high ground.
TSUNAMI!!!!
*gets to high ground*
Nah, gotta take a selfie first.
Naw.....me getting to high ground right after the earthquake. You can wait for the announcement if ya wants...... (But to be fair, they get tsunami warnings all the damn time, and they are like only 1m high (and if you got walls, so biggie).....so years go by like this....decades......even generation for some towns..... so that kind of pattern could create a false sense of security or lack alertness (attentive, scared seriousness) to those kind of warnings.....until a freak record breaking tsunami terrifies everyone again.)
@@tinageekbeta Yeah, people get complacent. But almost everybody said that this earthquake was a lot more violent than the others they'd experienced. Should have been warning enough. Oh well, maybe these videos will help keep the memory alive for coming generations.
The Tsunami Sirens would have been going off for ages, many of those who perished have caused their own death because they chose to wait until the last moment. A few probably had no way of evacuating themselves due to health, age etc. Very sad indeed but also very frustrating when you see those trying to leave at the very last minute.
The tsunami sirens were NOT consistently sounded in all places at the same time. Sirens in some places only sounded after the tsunami had already overwhelmed the shorelines.
Not all towns have sirens. And the ones that do only go off when someones turns them on or makes announcement which could have significant lag time....or worse if utilities effected by the record breaking earthquake they just had.The tsunami hit the coast in 20 min after beginning of a record breaking earthquake that lasted for over 9 minutes plus many after shocks. Many people were still experiencing aftershocks and trying to cope with THAT as the water was already rising in places it never rose before. The coast sank as well as record breaking tsunami....it is just insane. Japan also has a large aging population compared to rest of world due to extremely low birth rate. So you have a small window of reaction time and the luck of how close you are to high ground. There were huge areas where most people were not even near high ground at all, so what could they do? So many variables in play when you have such a natural disaster.
Be the odd looter too
They abuse those sirens, they use them for nothing all the time so people stop paying attention, my town has a disaster siren that they run EVERY DAY to "test" it
何日か後にでかい漁船が何個も転がってて津波ってまじでやばなって思ったわ
The two last (still) pick : how the two ships get there? It would have been the only interesting thing to see - ot to show at their side! Why that we can not see the "process"?
。。。合掌。。。
Silent but deadly..
I think I have learned from this video more than just about tsunamis. Truly amazing, tragic, and terrifying. To think this is a reality that could happen at any time for some.
I hope no one died in this film
When the ocean recedes, run!
八戸は犠牲者1人。噂によると自分がよく行ってた釣船屋の奥さん。旦那さんが船を沖出ししてそれを車の中で待ってたとか。 忘れません
❤
damn those cars driving right next to it had no idea
Last man out in that van. Wonder if he made it..
This town was lucky and not direscinthe path
I am stationed in Misawa Air Base, about 20 minutes north of Hachinohe. I will never forget this day and strengthening the ties with the Japanese.
GOD BLESS JAPAN
Wilbur Wafer my mom and dad met there while my dad was at Misawa lol
@psycotria In asia tsunami means seaweed monster
I wonder what all the fishing boats are used for
Que buena filmacion
Как страшно на это смотреть, потому что это ждет нас снова
What Ive noticed in all these videos Ive watched recently is that a warning is recieved that a Tsunami is coming so why dont all these ships quickly take to sea rather than stay and end up being destroyed! Surely it would be safer in the open sea than in a confined harbour.
If they were already on their boat, engine running, they might make it far enough out to sea to not be drawn back in by the tsunami. But, with the larger ones especially, it can take 15 mins or more to start a cold marine engine and bring it up to full power. They are also extremely slow to maneuver which is a bad thing if they are turned sideways in heavy swells. Also, they not only have to contend with the wave height but the movement of the entire body of water. It would be like trying to outrun a landslide while the ground beneath you is moving in the opposite direction.
Much of the oral history on tsunami told by Japanese talks about people who return to the ocean too soon, either out of curiosity or concern for neighbors, and are never seen again. Of fishermen who try to save their boats, a seemingly safe venture, only to capsized from the relentless pounding of the water.
In short, unless I'm already underway I'd get off the boat and save myself. I can always get another boat, especially if I have some form of insurance.
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 thank you for replying and explaining this too me. Much appreciated.
اللهم احفظ كل مخلوق على وجه الأرض من هذه الكارثة 😥
I will never understand why some people are driving around instead of looking for higher grounds, despite all the warnings on tv, radio, cell phones...
The main roads leading inland and up follow the lines of rivers and estuaries, therefore still near water, no where to run really!
