The tsunami in Chiba; a recap

[@Ezekiel903]

very well made recap, thank you for explaining it in English, i saw so many videos about 3.11. and i'm still watching new ones! stay safe

[@theusconstitution1776]

Thank you for explaining in English what was happening there thousands of other videos that we just get to watch what happens and not hear from the people because we can’t understand them I’m glad you’re safe

[@slowfinger2]

Your effort to record the happenings here will have long lasting historical significance. Thanks for the video.

[@ZebaKnight]

Thank you for this video, and for your commentary. Accounts like this will help scientists and the rest of us to understand what the sea did, and why it did what it did. I am glad that you and your family are safe. I am terribly sorry for the thousands who were not safe, and for those who lost their homes and businesses. I admire and respect what I have seen of the resilience and cooperative spirit of the people who live along this rugged coast.

[@lesliesanderson1300]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I live on Vancouver Island, Canada on the Pacific Ocean and we are not even close to being prepared for a tsunami. I have learned so much from watching films like yours.

[@rebecca2034]

Thank you for your outstanding video. May God bless and keep you and your beautiful family.

[@missdeboer6366]

Thank you for honoring us with your story. ❤️

[@jarmyvicious]

Salut, I am glad you made it, high ground was very thoughtful, middle ground is usually best for me.... I said many prayers that morning from my home in the U.S., begging God to show mercy and grant each person a way to escape. Be Well, Cheers and Blessings!

[@Namaste3004]

Thank you for your informative personally story and the great video. And thanks for the english subtitle. So I understand what you say and tell. The tsunami 311 was very horrible and incisive! 😥 I watched the bad reports and films with my son, who died prematurely in 2019, on German TV. All the best to you, your family (you have a sweet daughter) and everyone reading this. God bless. 😔🙏🇩🇪

[@Do.not.judge.]

So enjoyed your video, the detail and content, thankyou.

[@chriscunningham9747]

Thanks for your candor and willingness to share.

[@felixcat9318]

It was very good that you took immediate, decisive action to get to high ground! There was no way of knowing the magnitude of the tsunami at that time and as other horrific videos have shown, evacuation to high ground was the only method of being safe from the lethal water and debris field. It was nice to see that this beautiful part of Japan was not obliterated like so many coastal communities and that there appeared to be no buildings damaged or human casualties. Your historic video with it's superb narration shows the uncertainty of that day and the very real fear of the tsunami.

Hello, I just wanted you to know that this was one of the best narratives I’ve watched. I’ve seen many videos of the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11/11, and while the majority were in Japanese, a few were in English. But you’re narration, as an eyewitness, was captivating. Your calm voice and how you describe what was happening made me feel as if I was there, next to you, watching everything unfold. When you described the size of that sea wall and what the wave did to it, I was stunned. 10 meters high (33 feet) and 2 meters wide (6.6 feet), constructed of concrete and just smashed! Incredible power. When you went back to your home, at night and saw rocks on the coast you had never seen before, I can only imagine what you must have felt. I’m very happy you and your family survived and I hope your house did too. I would love to visit Japan someday before I’m gone. From all the videos I’ve seen, it looks like a beautiful country and the people seem especially kind. Thank you for this video (history) of what you went through in Chiba. And next time, have a fully charged battery 😉🙂 Take care.

Thank you for sharing!

Nossa finalmente um vídeo com tradução muito obg por permitir entender os relatos tristes daquele dia cinza e mortal

[@TheLostBoy1974]

Wonderful and important document. I was in Kamagaya that day, in the middle of a lesson.

[@janekahn8562]

Thank God u and family r safe....I live in the state of Maryland but my thoughts and prayers r with all so far away

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

What I see in this particular video, behind the first wave, as it comes in, no other wave is visible as far as the eye can see. That’s frightening. Every breaking wave, has another behind it forming. But not that wave.

[@ashtakmetoza5689]

The sea is so vast and its level rises so quickly, so much energy involved, incredible and scary, thanks for the video

[@cryingforbread]

Good thing the tsunami wasnt very bad in your area

[@never7298]

Foi sim.

[@never7298]

Thank you. I am from Brasil.

[@dukecity7688]

I can't believe you went back to get the passports. I would have forbidden you to leave. the force of the energy and gravity and pull of the wave is unbelievable. It sounds like quite a bit of time between the first and last waves. Thank you for your documentation.

[@vareast]

Well, the radio said I had nearly half an hour before the tsunami would arrive and the Japanese always do everything on time.....

[@EmmaDee]

@@vareast I would have gotten my documents needed, weapon, medications, even personal photos if possible. You did well.

[@biamariano5189]

Nossa que sensação maravilhosa saber que vc sobreviveu a esse inferno que foi esse dia!

[@Didda3]

I can't remember our British news reporting this. Very frightening though. I am very lucky to not experience this for real.

[@ronaldmorris8999]

Beautiful place kinda looks like my place of birth Jamaica,I would be fraud to go to your beach ⛱️, God bless you and be with you guys

[@barbarap5574]

Thank you 😌

[@biamariano5189]

Caramba que vídeo

[@flashy5150]

I would build my house in the mountains, not in the valleys, that is where water goes. It covers low lying areas and when it hits a mountain that it can’t go over or around, it stars to rise and find the weakest and lowest lying areas to spread to.

[@biamariano5189]

Nossa vi vídeos desse dia em que até nevava, parecia estar muito frio e o tempo bem fechado

[@vickylanding2830]

Never underestimate water or fire

[@sherimatukonis6016]

I hope the west coast of USA learns from this and prepares.

[@kellwood1404]

Arigato. 🙏🙏🙏

[@armandofernandez8257]

That is NOT!.CHINA the beginning of the video that is JAPAN on 03-2011. So stop ur BS.

[@jenniferglenn14]

The video stated Chiba lol You could’ve just rewinded the video and seen it for yourself. In other words, you’re wrong lol

[@debrazawacki923]

And now for part 2

[@davidstone5438]

Chiba?

[@vareast]

Yes, Chiba (the Olympic surfing took place about 500 meters to the left of the port)

[@davidstone5438]

@@vareast got it, thanks...

[@armandofernandez8257]

Or are you talking about the town of Chibah? It look like u said China

[@armandofernandez8257]

But you Did know you were in JAPAN And Not in CHINA right.

[@spp-ut1jw]

This is Japan tsunami video.

[@murraycrosbee5873]

Korera no bideo o arigato.

[@nadinecottel409]

Y a des gens ils sont taré pour crier comme ca

[@andreadancer4151]

Kind of hard to watch. The camara is moving and zooming in and out so much

[@quentinstratton5407]

because this guy is shaking the camera pretending there is an earthquake. things shaking in earthquakes dont abruptly stop when it ends, also the recording of the tsunami alarm gets cut off. i dont think this guy actually filmed the earthquake and the tsunami warning

[@pirmuhammad1579]

Tu muji pasand ha nahe jhil na parta ha

[@midnightstarr5413]

So much destruction and debri with loss of human and animal lives. I wish there was a way to deflect a tsunami or divert it away from an area that's populated. How does a ocean handle all the debri that's washed out to sea? Even whole ships are caught up in the aftermath of a tsunami. I don't know how people there can sleep peacefully each night with a threat of a potential tsunami happening.

[@midnightstarr5413]

Is this the first time a tsunami has destroyed this place? If not I don't think I would build again in this area.
