It was very touching but heartbreaking hearing the people on shore shouting and cheering for the boat to stand firm as the wave came closer and closer and it was becoming very clear how dire the situation was becoming. You could hear how desperately they were all hoping the crew would make it despite knowing there was nothing they could do to help.

[@gabihatersclub4446]

When you are further from shore the wave is smaller but faster and gradually when the wave comes closer and closer to shore it becomes bigger and a bit slower because (the depth changes) which ends up in destructive result. So the further the boat is from shore the better and it was definitely a smart decision to go face the wave to make the chance of survival higher.

People may have stronger feelings for loved ones more than people they don't know in Japan but it still works more or less the same.

The next day and the next day, there were many victims' names at the bottom of the TV screen. When my mother's friend's name appeared on TV, her mother was crying to cling to the TV. Everything was shocking and unforgettable. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the support we received from all over the world during the reconstruction. I'm really thankful to you.

For those wondering, those wave are massive in size and might be travelling close to 200-300kmph. As the video is recorded from a very high point and a far away, it seems the wave might be hardly moving unless it has approached the point close to the people recording. The point at which the wave was at when the video began was probably around 6-10 miles away from the people recording. That wave travelled 6-10 kms in less than 2 mins. Imagine that.

[@TheTrailRabbit]

This is just obviously false. The wave was maybe a mile offshore when the video begins. You can see with your own eyes it doesnt start 6-10 miles away. Tsunami can travel up to 500 mph in deep ocean but they slow significantly as they approach land. I'd estimate the water is moving 30-40 mph in this video as it impacts land.

[@stephenperry3663]

Tsunamis don't travel anywhere near that speed once they come close to shore because of the friction with the seabed

This word represents the teaching of our ancestors, who had known the countless number of old tsunami, to protect our ships from them and it means to push the ship toward the offshore immediately, because it is safer to do to survive than to escape to the high ground made of volcanic ash sediment and to abandon their own ships.

I thought at first it was a bomb and then I looked out the window and the few pools on top of the buildings across the street were splashing water back and forth. I looked to my right and saw fires starting and was still not sure it was an earthquake. When the second shock hit, I looked up at the ceiling and thought so this is how I die. The building was on rollers and I thought this is the end. There was a moment where it went silent. I ran out to the corridor and saw tiles all over. The elevator was not working so I ran to the stairs and down, the 1F was locked so I kicked it with my foot. I went outside and saw tiles and glass everywhere.

[@billpeart]

True in a sense but that wave is pretty large.

[@MuracosaSven]

Not the wave is the problem of a tsunami, it's the amount of water coming in for minutes into the land. And that's exactly the difference to a normal wave. A normal wave can also become very big and high, but without that amount of water pushing for minutes it's not as dangerous.

[@kerrystewart3145]

Normally waves are tidal. Most are wind driven. Tsunamis are a column of water moving at 550 mph from the ocean floor to the surface. When they inconter land...devastating

[@MuracosaSven]

@@kerrystewart3145 you are right, but they don't hit the land with 550mph. Only on the ocean when it not visible on the water surface it is so fast. The tsunami gets slower when it hits the land. Problem is just the huge amount of water coming in for several minutes after the tsunami.

What are you and 1000 people really admitting to? You're accidentally portraying yourself as a bad person. As children, we view life as incredibly fragile and get very sad about sad things, and then we have to grow up and and accept that death happens. Sorry, but I know you know it's true: being overly emotional about things is NOT viewed as adult, it's viewed as... Yes... BEING CHILDISH.

I know you meant well, but time to look up the word "xenophobia". You technically made a racist statement too, by definition. 🤷‍♂️ We both know how unlikely it is that the people you met in Japan were the nicest people you've ever met. You need a much more diverse friend group if what you say is even remotely true in your context.

Fishermans with balls, big balls .... who dares to face a tsunami? only men of great courage!

[@mordicus9817]

It is actually pretty safe in a bigger boat if you face a big wave. I know if a tsunami was coming I'd take my boat out and try and get past the "break zone" and just go over a wave that hasn't broken yet. I'd save my boat in the process. Prolly what these guys were doing since fishing was probably thier biggest source of income.

[@rahatjobayar9596]

Exactly. Riding past the breakers is the best way to do it. However, these guys had a little time from casting off to facing the incoming waves.

I've seen a lot of videos of this tsunami. This is the first one that really shows how big and fast the waves are.

[@raz999.9]

True

[@taekwondotime]

They're not any faster than normal waves. It's just a bigger wave and lots more water behind it. I've heard people claim that tsunamis move at over 500 km/h and I call BS on that. It wasn't moving any faster than a person could run.

[@pat2rome]

@@taekwondotime They do move that fast in the open ocean, but when they start reaching the shore they slow down and stack up.

[@SuperBaddlyAwsome]

@@taekwondotime idk man, i’m pretty fast but when the wave hit the pier i feel like it would’ve beaten me and i would be swallowed up

[@taekwondotime]

@asolitaryartistonline I think it's a bit disingenuous for people to write that tsunami waves travel 500 km/h when they know darn well that they're not moving at that speed when they're near the shore, and out in the open water the waves are tiny and insignificant. It's only at the shore where they do damage. Anyway, those are my thoughts. So long.
