Finally there another Tsunami documentary. Thanks for a new updated.

[@WonderDocs]

You're very welcome!

[@LostMittens]

I agree! Watched all of them at least once. This is an awesome one!!

[@imogenetabion6120]

The loss and destruction caused by tsunamis are unfathomable. Let's work on raising awareness and supporting communities at risk. Stay strong.

[@xion1629]

I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing that man in Sri Lanka cradling his dead child and crying hysterically. That was heartbreaking 😞

[@sabrinakegley3468]

My heart goes out to everyone who have lost love one's. My condolences to you all. May They Rest In Peace.

[@mrkipling2201]

The start of this documentary actually made me realise that we know what happened with the Tsunami and we've seen the footage, but we didn't really hear about the people who were affected by the actual earthquake first,before any Tsunami occurred.

[@tamekkaknuth9612]

They did.. in Green Bay Wisconsin they only care about their own people and citizens. Their own community

[@brandonblackfyre5783]

Yeah I think the Tsunami overshadowed the Earthquake itself. If that 9.2 magnitude earthquake would have happened inland it would have been insane

[@Pattys1967]

This still saddens me,I remember watching this,but hearing about the locals was a must,thank you for this documentary❤

[@amou2409]

What a sad tale of human vs nature cause and affect.

[@tinaroney9383]

Excellent documentary.

[@LillianCrawfishDE]

I thought i had seen all the videos from the Boxing Day and Japan 3/11 tsunamis. But this is the most complete description, with clear explanations that I've seen yet. Thank you!

[@annacatherineandrews]

That bulletin board death list is so horrifying

[@quintongengan3244]

I am deeply saddened by the lives lost each time an earthquake or tsunami hits coastal regions across the world. In this case is it dumb of me to suggest that maybe constructing a fairly wide drainage system on coastal areas to ACCOMMODATE the huge waves that will sweep back into the ocean. It may be far fetched or bogus I'm not sure but I think it's worth looking into.

[@ericatanke1297]

They did this in Japan, with giant tunnels under ground!

[@yosoydpfknr2855]

Im so glad nower days people are educated about it and that scientists researched these so we all can get a better understanding. There are so many 3rd world countries that are still uneducated in natural disasters but i hope that can change with time.

[@chezsnailez]

But do you love them?

[@nameredacted6221]

Do you mean love? Like just doesn’t sound right

[@mrkipling2201]

I don't like them at all. As it's a reminder of death and destruction. I find them interesting and informative. That's my description of why I watch them.

[@greentint]

i know what you mean, the people in these replies are taking it the wrong way😭

[@warewolf4760]

It still baffles me how people stand and watch while the killer wave is heading straight at them.

[@LostMittens]

Shock and awe along with not being educated, unfortunately.

[@lisalambert2750]

If they are standing and watching then unfortunately it is already to late.

[@gabiesanchez8943]

Before 2004 there was hardly any footage on TV or online showing a tsunami, so people were largely ignorant about such phenomenon. In 2024, I would hope that more people are aware of the dangers of an earthquake in the oceans.

[@Ro6entX]

I’m only couple mins into video but recall a documentary or something about the quake/tsunami that struck Japan in ‘11. Rescuers came across the body of elderly man who was trapped at bottom of a stairway and building had collapsed so unclear if he died as result of the quake or survived , only to end up drowning 😢

[@ernestbeard701]

[@vatodad]

I am a retired research engineer and hold NRC NQA1 Certifications in nuclear, mechanical, and electrical engineering. I published numerous papers books and reports in the nuclear field. Contrary to the content of this video Japan had full knowledge that their nuclear reactors were not built to the proper safety standards. They were deficient and numerous areas... Including the location of their backup generators and the lack of vinting capability for their reactor vessels. These are standard requirements in the United States and most nuclear countries. I personally was involved in this notification of the Japanese reactors' Safety deficiencies in the late 1980s. Japanese officials knew that these deficiencies existed...To claim otherwise is simply UNTRUE. I cannot say why they failed to make the proper modifications, but to claim that they had no knowledge of them is simply FALSE. There are numerous other false claims made regarding the hazards and consequences. It is most unfortunate that the news media tends to accept totally unreliable information. My 1st involvement was with the 3 mile island incident. If you refer to the president's commission on 3 mile island, you will note that the ONLY hazard to public health was "anxiety caused by fallacious news reports". [It was established that people in the media were gathering their "information" from random people on street corners and refused to accept input from legitimate nuclear engineers and physicists. At that time, I was involved with nuclear research at Stanford University, working with Doctor Edward Teller (Hoover institute) and Professor Thomas Connelly, and the media refused to accept any input from them even though they were 2 of the top nuclear experts in the world.] The news media was only interested in sensationalism and not accuracy in 1979 which was the only public hazard resulting from the incident, and, obviously, the news media has not gotten any better regarding concern for the truth.

[@patricialittle2406]

What happens to the oceans wildlife? Are they prepared to get away from the area or are they swept along with the waves and left behind in the towns affected? Very interesting video.

[@SapphirasMama]

Most of the time they get out of the way. But most of the time the wave is like the one before it crests and rolls. Most of the animals on land began to run away from the coast. It was us humans that was so intrigued by what the sea was doing. Although, I have heard that some some ppl knew what was happening and got everyone off the beach

[@jenniferyule8786]

Finally someone who thinks about other living creatures other than humans. I get called heartless when I mention this. Humans made themselves creators and killers of other living creatures, I have never thought like that.

[@tobeornottobe9533]

How does the earthquake shorten the day by 1 second ? Y’all hear that ? 29:30

[@AdaptorLive]

It said microsecond. But yeah, bit weird to drop an interesting fact like that without further explanation. Must have to do with the Earth's rotation being affected by the enormous impact of the water/tectonic plates moving. I've no idea how, though.

You cant take care of something natural. This is to do with earths crust not the climate or heating of the earth. The only thing we can do about disasters like this is teach everyone about it, have warnings in place to save as many as we can.

I donated money back then! We all did, millions or even billions. I don’t know the exactly amount, but it was a lot of money for this particular tsunami in Thailand. Are they asking for donations for better warning systems because there are not better warning systems the earthquake should’ve been a big red flag it still didn’t work. Nobody knew under the ocean the tectonic plates had shifted in the way that they did that eventually caused all of the destruction. So many lives lost. Sad! RIP. This came up on my News app as if some thing new had happened, which I’m totally confused about and then it went to this KZbin station. I’m still totally confused. I would love to help if something new is happened. Of course I would donate.

[@BiaMaria_777]

I had a "dream" in 2003, one year and a half before the tsunami in December 2004. I saw myself somewhere there after it happened, I saw a lot of destruction, water and debris all over, I saw people suffering and crying, I saw military personnel helping. I woke up crying a lot and I immediately told my mom something really bad would happen in that area around Malaysia. I didn't know how or when, to this day I still don't know why I knew it would happen in that area, but I will never ever forget that. Also, I don't know why God allowed me to see something like that. I'm so sorry for all the victims and their families. My heart goes out to all them and to Japanese victims and their families in 2011 as well. I don't know when or where but unfortunately it will happen again and it's going to be much worse. God have mercy on us all. 😢😭🙏🏻

It's not the height that does the damage, it's the WAVELENGTH that causes all the death and destruction. Even an 80ft. wave at Nazare', Portugal has a wavelength of 200-250 meters. A tsunami wavelength is measured in MILES, several miles from peak to peak, but this documentary makes little to no mention of it, only focused on the height.

I HEARD DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF THE DEAD the highest was 370.000 after the rescue efforts were ceased this brings back memories of Krakatoa in 1883 36.000 died and that was because the population was very sparse or far n few between today that same area is populated by millions if same disaster happened today im guessing 75 million dead but that is only a guess
