At that time, I suffered from this earthquake. In the city where I live, there observed a seismic intensity of 6+ of the Japan Meteorological Agency Seismic Intensity Class. It shook for more than 3 minutes. Since it is an inland area, there was no damage from the tsunami. The inside of my house was messed up, there was no foothold. On the day of the earthquake, we set up a tent in the garden and slept. This earthquake and tsunami killed 15,900 people and still leave 2,525 missing. I never want to experience it again.

I feel so sorry for those people I watched part of the video but could not watch anymore I want to visit Japan in the near future so I’ve been looking at videos on Japan and saw this

I’m so sorry you went through that. I can’t imagine what it was for the people in Sendai losing all their people.

This just shows the genius of japanese engineering and architecture

@@rainy_saturday those buildings are super old and they still held up to a 9.1 earthquake. Amazing.

@@rainy_saturday that was traditional house.. so of course their engineering for traditional houses ain't great compared to modern buildings 💀💀.. but still this is great because its didn't collapse as whole, only the roof...

12:50 is insanely intense. That's Sendia Airport, one of the closest to the earthquake, and the first place to get the tsunami...

It's Sendai, not Sendia.

[@tubbunny]

It’s so strong the earthquake early warning system estimated the seismic intensity level to be a one at his location

[@biggsjeep9584]

Looks to be ok. I suspect she was just outside of where most of the debris hit..barely. She doesnt seem to be laying on the ground when that section of video ends. I cant tell if she is in the doorway at the end

oh that precious kitty at 02:34 just has no idea what is happening. ☹

They are just used to earthquakes. In any country where earthquakes happen regularly you will see people are less likely to panic about it.
