Why don't you call things by their proper names? Instead of calling what you see in this video NATURE is causing a tsunami you should say ALLAH (GOD in your langage) THE GREATEST is causing a tsunami. This would be better. Don't you think so...?
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain Are you serious?? I’m sure the last thing on their minds was to get “better footage” of the tsunami that destroyed the lives of every person on that island.
Best view point I’ve seen so far in my opinion. Really shows just how much water builds up coming in before hitting land . You can see it rise and lower, which I would say is one giant wave. Awesome video.
My heartfelt prayers go out to ALL the people that lost there homes, loved ones, and friend during this terrible disaster. I have a great affinity for the Japanese people and there culture. It just saddens me to see this every time i watch various videos of the damage this event caused. NEVER underestimate the power of water folks. It will get you each and every single time. I live on the ocean myself in a small community and i can't being to imagine what something like this would do to our small peninsula. It is just terrifying natural raw power.
You can sure tell that the depth is shallow as the wave gets closer to landfall. Then you see the water retreat and you know the next one is going to be worse. What a nightmare!
I have enormous respect for the power of the ocean…and that it stays within its boundaries most of the time, because her unleashed power, is breathtaking and terrifying. Extraordinary footage.
@@cs77smith67I do hope that you are joking. As Jesus himself pointed out, nature is going to nature, and accidents are going to accident, wars are going to war, the only power he has over these things is our faith in him. That when disasters occur we may be protected, and if that is not our destiny, that he will take us home. Earthquakes and tsunamis are just planet earth earthing.
This is probably the largest tsunami wave on youtube. Look at the geography, particularly the height of the islands before the wave comes. This wave was probably over 60 ft.
That is incredible and scary all at the same time. 0:35 Seeing the tsunami swallow that stone structure is scary, thanks to the surrounding cliffs, you can clearly see how much water actually rushed in.
I saw the damage the Tsunami caused when I went to the region in 2012. The power of a Tsunami is not appreciated by some people. I always knew they were bad, but seeing the damage in real life over such a vast area was an awakening to the power released.
It's always difficult to know whether to like this kind of video. It's obviously very good and amazing footage but then you remember all the people that died and the others who lost their entire families and all their belongings and it's not so clear cut. So I will just say thank you for uploading and sharing these videos and let's hope this doesn't happen again any time soon.
0:25 You can see the water heading away from shore, exiting through the breakwater. Then it returns, and the person records in silence. He knows if people didn't get to high ground, it's too late for them.
Anybody else notice the blacks spots on the surface? I think that the people who were standing on that little bridge and got swetp away! You can see at 2:00 the water is 3/4ers the way up that rocky out cropping! Which would probably mean the wave was about 20-30ft. Above the pier and that bridge!
0:37- That really caught me off guard. I was looking further out for the wave, and then I saw it go over the pier. I can’t imagine how traumatizing and terrifying that must’ve been for everyone. My heart goes out to everyone who experienced so much loss on that day. Losses that are still being felt to this day. ❤
The much bigger one was coming at the end especially since the water was retreated at the shore which adds that much more to the wave out were the island is
@@erickgarcia6687 It’s called having humanity. It’s acknowledging and recognizing the suffering and loss that millions of people experienced that day. And how the trauma still affects them 11 years later. Instead of not giving a crap because it didn’t happen to me, and watching these videos solely for entertainment. Get it, now?
whoever you are, thank you so much for sharing this historic footage with everyone. *Those who do not remember the past, are destined to repeat it.* 😎🇺🇸
In this video, the approaching Tsunami doesn't look as much like a wave as it does a waterfall that´s being shoved towards shore. You can really see how the water level behind it is elevated for as far back as the eye can see.
I studied this one a lot at the time try to figure out how to build structures to survive these in ports guiding the flow to headwalls where it stops to stand high for hours. In the Pacific Northwest we have a plate release tsunami "any time", adding sealevel fast not a good move, plates are plastic it adds weight to continental shelves. The pier ends create a fake headwall, a dynamic dam that limits flow volume up front, averages out the maximum height up channels, infrastructure on top. This bay next to the city, a bridge lower down to fish boats was knocked off, the equalization back flow churn epic ... 🕊
00:05 - did they survive? 😥 And what tables are those? At first I thought it was a concert of pianettes/synthesizers - or just sculpture ornaments? Any idea? Edit: 02:25 I guess they didn't 😥Watched this cam view since shortly past the disaster, but first time in full camera roll length. Horiffic😥(I think YT has a reason, other nature disasters have only recently been opened by YT almost 100 years past the disasters with more explicit content - maybe this is even still too close for the surviving relatives, I think...) 10 years ago I watched the sea-level cam angle from within bridge - like a horror-movie. Warm hearts to to those left behind in this tragedy created by forces of nature greater than ourselves. Japanese people are brave. Big hug ♥
I know thousands and thousands of people died that day and I’m very sorry. But this is the most fascinating video capturing and outrageously powerful tsunami. Excellent footage.
Cameraman chose to not record ... but I'm pretty sure he saw people below being swept away. No way those people could run away with waves coming with such power and speed (0:47), it built up too fast, in a blink! They must have realized when it was too close to comfort, too late to run. 😞
To have a gauge of the height the water got....just look at that mini mountain on the left of the screen at the beginning with the little tree on top,then look at it about half way through and see that the water is like 10ft from the top....looks about 40ft at least....😲😳
Look at 1:58 the stone structure on the left most of the screen, now compare it to 0:10 and notice the people down there on the bright. Incredibly frightening
Isso é asssutador demais .😮 Da uma agonia em ver esse vídeo 😢. A natureza tem uma força surpreendente , a qualquer momento ela pode extinguir a nação humana por completo , estamos sob as vontades da mãe natureza , somos seus reféns.
At the beginning of the video there's a bunch of people standing on an outcropping almost a lookout point... None of them could have survived... Most terrifying video ever
Earthquake video compilations and crying for bread are two channels with good footage of this terrible day. Top topics are good too, They give you lots of information and it’s up to date rather than one or two years old, it’s not just videos, there’s presenters with scientific evidence to go with what you’re seeing.
SOOOOO wild this particular video. To be able to look WAY out here...... Yet it stays flat.... And LOOK how the whole damn ocean even way out stays level and just RISES UP over that vast, vast area without much of a "wave" at all like most of these. Soooo unique this video 👍👍👍✌️☮️
Just a tiny sampling of what pre-historic tsunamis must have looked like. Imaging a comet-formed tsunami, or when a landslide from Hawaii hit the ocean. Incredible.
Penso che la particolare conformazione della costa, abbia creato un'onda di ritorno che sommandosi alla forza dello tsunami ha creato qualcosa di mostruosamente terrificante
When you record a video and then watch it later it lacks the ability to show the true scale. If the video is this impressive I can't fathom the real thing. Excellent footage. Nothing I've watched so far tops it
The sharp air intake at 1:05. You'd recognize that sound anywhere on Earth. The sound of someone "bracing" for something that's about to or has just happened to someone. He clearly just saw someone (or some people) getting swept by the tsunami. What a terrifying day this must've been.
So beautiful, so deadly... I gather those people below were NOT safe/ out of harm's way? I am so sorry... I am glad that you & the others went higher and were safe. BTW, I have been so impressed with how you all handled this terrible event. ❤ All best wishes!
The height stats for tsunamis are not measured by a single wave or the actual height of a wave. It is measured by how far the surge gets above sea level. People keep saying the Japanese tsunami wave was over 200 feet. There was never a wave that high. The largest actual wave face was only 25 feet. The surge rose to over 200 feet. Big difference.
There's a video of a bigger wave coming in like this in Omoe. Imagine the horror of this video except you actually see the entire town get washed away in _seconds._
Seen these types of vids from Japan over and over and I still can't fathom the power and destruction nature is capable of
Same same
Me to my Friend imagine the noise the panic and fear
🙏❤️

Like… the entire thing. It’s insane.
PRECISELY
Why did you put “”sea”” in quotations? 🤔
Yes. Exactly.
He's a weirdo obviously @timbuckthe2nd642
This is one of the best tsunami videos
It really shows the scale and the power of the sea
Incredible footage
It could have been filmed so much better though
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain Are you serious?? I’m sure the last thing on their minds was to get “better footage” of the tsunami that destroyed the lives of every person on that island.
I agree. Wow. That happened so fast
I don't know if your country has a word with the connotation of "unscrupulous".
all i see is a bunch of water and nothing else happening
I drive over that bridge nearly every weekend. Videos truly dont capture the sheer volume and scale of how much water came through. Terrifying
How high is that bridge, people thought they where safe 😮
And the people below at the beginning of the video? Did they get away?
That was the heaviest tsunami impact I’ve ever seen. Terrifying.
Really !? Do some further online googling/UA-cam searching & you'll see some way heavier tsunami impacts .....
When did you see other ones. ?
I see tsunami in Aceh Indonesia on 2004
You clearly haven’t seen what went down in Sri Lanka, Thailand or Lituya bay Alaska.
@@ericfelds6291 I have seen many videos. The way the water moved in this one though. I think it’s my favorite.

こういう津波のリアルな"波の来かた"?の構造がわかる動画がずっと見たかった。
本当にありがとう。
これ以前に「世界まる見え」で100mだか50mだかの津波の再現映像(恐らく隕石の場合)みたいなのを見て高層ビルみたいな高さの高波のCGで、東日本大震災の津波は絶対にそうじゃないやろ。と思っていたから、早いながらもじわじわと水位が上がることがわかって勉強になった。
津波の高さは比較的低いのですが、波長と周期が長い傾向にあります。しかし、浅くなればなるほど波の速さは遅くなります。よって、波の前方、浅い方の海水が遅くなり、後方の波の海水によって押される形ができてしまい、結果的にそこから盛り上がってしまうため、津波の波の高さが高くなってしまう構図になってしまいます。高潮などとはエネルギーが全然違います。
You can sure tell that the depth is shallow as the wave gets closer to landfall. Then you see the water retreat and you know the next one is going to be worse. What a nightmare!

Break wall to prevent waves but not tsunamis 🤣
The sound as the wave got crashed into the shore 😮 I cant imagine what it must've been like actually standing there
That is absolutely terrifying, the power of water is unmatched!
The bridge at the bottom by the fishing port had to be atleast 30 feet above the water and that bridge disappeared😳
At its tallest recorded point, the tsunami was 138 feet. It truly was a monster
I think that bridge was probably higher than that!
What happened to the people at the bottom of the bridge at the beginning of the video?
@@brettolson3593 I was wondering that too, I doubt they made it. That wave came in so fast and quietly , they prolly had no clue.
@@brettolson3593there were several cuts in the video along with audio warnings - they probably walked up to higher ground
I think this is the most impressive video of them all.
I've seen a lot of tsunami vids now and this one is up there with the most shocking. It escalated so quickly!! Frikkin intense.
By far the best video I've seen on this.
The only interesting part is the last 7 seconds when the cameraman finally realizes all the action is at the other side.
I saw the damage the Tsunami caused when I went to the region in 2012. The power of a Tsunami is not appreciated by some people. I always knew they were bad, but seeing the damage in real life over such a vast area was an awakening to the power released.

いやさすがに波が到達する前に避難したんじゃないの?勝手に波に飲み込まれた風に言ってるけど
そら何分か経ったら移動するだろ

That is breathtaking! The upheaval of water. Power!
yes indeed!
It's unfathomable the amount of power required to do this.

The amount of force in this is amazing.
There is people standing at ground level at the 8 second mark bottom right hand corner of the screen.
The sound made my soul vibrate
@1:18 It looks like there's a large upwelling. I wonder if that deeper water ascending up from the bottom of the harbor.
Would it be instant death if you were hit head on or would you drown? Absolutely terrifying. I can’t imagine the power.
0:08崖に避難している人たち、2:27 になるとモッサモサの枯れ草が濡れてぺったりしてるし、テーブル?みたいなのもないから流されちゃったのかなぁ?
That high bridge underwater where people stood thinking they would be safe😮
Very fine photography. Excellent.

10 minutes ago paradise, 10 minutes later hell.
It so wide on screen but you can literally see the 50-60 wall of water elevation change in the horizon. Absolutely wild

Just a tiny sampling of what pre-historic tsunamis must have looked like. Imaging a comet-formed tsunami, or when a landslide from Hawaii hit the ocean. Incredible.
Its like the 13meter tides where I live only they take 6 hours to reach the max, around 40 feet high
Hard subject. Very very sad just how many never got a chance to live. Some of the clearest footage of this disaster I've seen on the internet.
Penso che la particolare conformazione della costa, abbia creato un'onda di ritorno che sommandosi alla forza dello tsunami ha creato qualcosa di mostruosamente terrificante
When you record a video and then watch it later it lacks the ability to show the true scale. If the video is this impressive I can't fathom the real thing. Excellent footage. Nothing I've watched so far
tops it
The most scary part is that if you get caught in it and then sucks you back into the ocean and there’s nothing you can do.
nah,, when the wave struck you, maybe you're killed already,, from debris etc,, at such high speed and power
That is an unbelievable amount of water that just seems to come out of nowhere
One of the most frightening tsunami videos I've seen.
The sharp air intake at 1:05. You'd recognize that sound anywhere on Earth. The sound of someone "bracing" for something that's about to or has just happened to someone. He clearly just saw someone (or some people) getting swept by the tsunami. What a terrifying day this must've been.
Absolutely incredible footage!!
Amazing … so little visual warning then total destruction.
So a tsunami is not a large wave that comes in. It’s more of a sudden quick increase of water tide?
Yes
That’s what Hollywood has normalised
Yeah, it's more like a flash flood than a wave
So beautiful, so deadly... I gather those people below were NOT safe/ out of harm's way? I am so sorry... I am glad that you & the others went higher and were safe. BTW, I have been so impressed with how you all handled this terrible event. ❤ All best wishes!
You can just see the water pulling out to sea in the beginning. That is insane, and so scary.
Dude missed the opportunity to capture the wave crashing into the area below. Would have been nice to get a scale of the hight of that wave.
That got intense very quickly 🌊😧
holy crap ... 0:10 and 3:27 is the same place right?
Wheres the bridge?
Under water or gone?
Mindboggling power
The height stats for tsunamis are not measured by a single wave or the actual height of a wave. It is measured by how far the surge gets above sea level. People keep saying the Japanese tsunami wave was over 200 feet. There was never a wave that high. The largest actual wave face was only 25 feet. The surge rose to over 200 feet. Big difference.
Look how it just destroyed that wall break on the right… so much power 😮
Wonder what the fish were thinking
Seeing this kind of destructive force from nature and yet I feel like it is barely a flinch of its full power.
2:40 you can see a piece of the break wall tumbling down
There were people down below in the beginning that were no longer there at the end 😓
0:05 Are them save?
That wave is the one I was looking for, like in those animated weather reports. That’s horrifying
There's a video of a bigger wave coming in like this in Omoe. Imagine the horror of this video except you actually see the entire town get washed away in _seconds._
3:20 when you see the ocean retracting THIS much, it's time to run for higher ground without looking back.
wait so the people that you can see down below in the beginning of this video - did all of them die? 👀
My best friend, Great Good... !!! I wish you every day of your development.
This is the most scary footage of tsunami comparing to others
Was that a person at 1:22, at the bottom, middle of the screen? Ugh...
yes
You sure that was a person? Cause that looked more like possible debris.
That's probably just debris.
The height of these waves! Jesus!
