This footage is so valuable. You can clearly see how the positioning of the breakwaters alter the waves course and buys them a bit more time. We on Canadas west coast have learned so much from the Japanese in loss prevention, building codes, and the behaviour of water after a quake. And the biggest lesson of all: how you learn from such tragedy and overcome it. I can still remember being glued to the tv when this all unfolded. It was hard to believe it was real. 🇨🇦🇯🇵

Extremely valuable footage, thank you so much for posting. I pray for those in Japan.
that offshore wave must be like 50 or 60 feet if u can clear see it from so high up, they can make an amazing movie out of this disaster and hopefully the world will be more informed and prepared about the awesome destructive power of tsunamis!
No, it cannot increase. The energy is being dissipated as it interacts with the coastline. In the deeper part of the channel the energy and speed are maintained more, and the wave assumes an arcuate shape. Unfortunately, the barriers couldn’t stop it completely.

As an American, I am so sorry for this tragic event. I followed it closely throughout the clean-up process and number of those who tragically lost their lives. Japan has been through so much and has always come out stronger. The world could learn so much from the Japanese people.

WW2 was 80 years ago and there were horrors being committed everywhere by everyone, including the Japanese - but this person wasn't there, almost certainly wasn't even alive, and are just here honestly expressing sympathy and respect for a people that went through a horrible tragedy. So again, I ask you, wtf is wrong with you? You think you're telling hard truths? You're just so above it all?

from above it looks like the water is moving slow , i wonder how fast it actually moves as i imagine it will be anything but slow..i couldnt even begin to imagine being caught up in that..RIP..

My God, that second wave is terrifying with the perspective of being able to see things to compare it to and then there’s what’s behind it unlike a normal wave.
This aerial photography proved the magnitude of the earthquake that struck the sea and the latest devastating waves .. We regret what happened in Japan
The first wave front must be 40 or 50 feet high! It's so surreal to see these mammoth horrors march across the land. The configuration of the wave is fascinating. You know, before 2004, the only tsunami video available was grainy footage shot in Hilo HW back in the 60's. In the span of less than a decade, the largest tsunami waves in history have revealed themselves in front of a camera.
