This is the most educational footage of Tsunami ever recorded. The shift from the apparent calm and the relentlessly building danger is mesmerising. There were about three minutes between there being no apparent big problem at all to the cameraman being in danger of his life.

@@magrathean0 - I believe that, at the beginning, it also shows the retreat of the water before the tsunami arrives. I think that channel normally has much more water, as evidenced by the fact that there are so many boats resting on the ground. This video doesn’t show the water receding but it looks to me like it happened minutes before the video starts. Indeed, that may even be why the curious cameraman began recording.

[@gonamok]

People complain about the "cameraman". That is a normal joe watching something incomprehensible while also fearing for his own life. He is watching buildings just like the one he is standing on being swept away. Its amazing that he had the presence of mind to keep filming. The people who stood in the road and watched the water top the wall then tried to run after it was way too late werent just stupid, there is a mesmerizing effect that watching something like this has on people. Its the same reason some people dont run away from tornadoes. They simply cant believe what they are seeing

[@marykuga4589]

I was surprised about the complaint about the camera man too. You are right Ron, people get mesmerized about a horrible happening. What a short time it took for a very calm, beautiful river to become a raging monster that devoured everything in its path. Those onlookers were like us, not believing such a disaster was going to strike them within minutes. God bless all of the people caught in this horrible tragedy.

This is by far the best footage I’ve seen of this. It’s beyond astonishing how it just keeps getting worse, and worse, and worse, as the filming goes on. I kept thinking that at some point it would start to recede…but, nope. God bless the person filming for recording this, while knowing that his own safety is anything, but guarantee’d. The people of Japan not only have to deal with this terror, but earthquakes, as well. And, either one can happen at any given moment. How in God’s name they were able to pick their lives back up, and move on, and rebuild is as astonishing as the tsunami, itself…..but, they did it. To, Japan’s credit, being the incredible culture they are, they did it.

This video is both amazing and terrifying on many levels. The people must have assumed that the first mass of water was going to be it. That surge was surely impressive, which is why they were at the sea wall or not on the hills already. they had no idea what was about to happen. It is a fascinating snapshot in time...to look at it as they saw it at that moment....before the terror overtook them. So sad for the many lost lives.

Something a lot of people don’t realize when asking “why didn’t more people evacuate?” is that most of these people had only about 10 minutes to get to higher ground, and the emergency announcements are actually announcing the estimated height of the tsunami. So many people genuinely thought they’d be safe because their sea walls or their house were higher than the expected height, only to find out a little too late that the tsunami was coming in much taller than predicted. A lot of people *did* get to higher ground, but either they couldn’t get there fast enough or higher ground wasn’t high enough.

We can see in the early moments of the video that the water has receded by a lot. This is the crest of the huge wave that's coming sucking the water in front of it. During the 2004 sumatra tsunami, people walked towards the beach to see the water recede. So: After an earthquake, if you are by the coast, go to high ground. High ground is any building at least 5 story high or a hill that's big enough. Don't trust a wall or your local authority. Be safe first. Then if nothing happens in a few hours you can go down. Depending on distance it took just 5 minutes near the indonesian coast and 2 hours in Thailand for the wave to reach. It's deadly no matter how far it is. What is very deadly is not just the amount of water but also the speed at which the water come. The sound wave goes faster than the speed of sound while the wave we see is slowed a grows in size by the coast, it still comes in at about 70 km/h. Even at knee high there's no fighting it. The first wave is not the biggest wave. When the water recedes, there may be more waves coming so stay on high ground. The guys filming close like that gave me anxiety!

What many people do not realise about Tsunamis is that there are more than the well known 2 stages, where water recedes off the beach and then the waves hit several minutes later. That's not all there is!! in 2004 we were in Thailand when the Christmas Tsunami hit. The devestation was mind blowing as the waves hit the resorts, but in many ways, watching the water, debris and the deceased being washed back out to sea as the Tsunami recedes is the worst part. It is also one of the most destructive parts. May they all rest in peace.

Anywhere you live can see massive disasters happen.

No one expected anything like that! Always be ready to leave quickly, always have shoes or sneakers by your bed in case of an emergency. Always have emergency supplies, first aid kit, some water, some non perishable foods. And some cash in case electronics are down. I always keep a few hundred dollars in cash at home and some in my car, well hidden. Always be aware of your surroundings and have an escape plan. Teach yourself to not panic.

It’s just propane or a gas from a bottle. You see it floating and it seeping out. There are other areas where you see the same thing.

I saw this video at least 8 years ago and I saw that thing jump up out of the water and it stayed on my mind. I looked for this video and finally found it again. I don't care what no one says, that was a creature. No paper. No trash. It was alive.

[@opo3628]

Yeah, I was starting to freak out for him and the others since the building they were taking refuge on top of was *WAAAYYY* too close to the river. They're lucky it didn't get uprooted and washed away like so many other buildings did.

[@mochi_salamanders]

@@opo3628 watching this really put things in perspective for me. I have a lot of craziness in my life right now but let me say it didn't seem as bad after seeing this footage as it did before. The scale of this was huge and there was nothing any of those people could do but watch in terror. My problems were definitely more workable than that. Those people lost everything and that was humbling to see.💔

[@devoid24]

Just consider how many minutes that water was flowing in just one direction... that tells just how large a water mass it was, then a bit later on as the water has devastated buildings further down area, you get to see more debris coming coming inland. Truly terrifying for all those who were safe and were able to watch this as it happened, and so far beyond terrifying for those running for their lives.... I think ive seen all publicly available films/videos on this, and it still bothers me to this day. I feel for not just those who died, but all those left with nothing... Prayers to all.

Where I live we have tornados but they do not scare me as much as this video. The water just keeps coming! And those poor people trapped on top of a building across the way while the town burns around them! How awful. I can't imagine being a mother just trying to keep your kids safe in this and feeling so helpless because high buildings are only as good as they are strong and what if it's on fire too??!! I feel so sad for people who probably died, and so many others who lost everything

[@peonyflowers23]

I’ve been in a tornado. It’s extremely scary when you are in one. Like a giant vacuum from the sky sucking you up like an ant. A tornado hasn’t come over your roof, otherwise you wouldn’t make such a comment.

[@peonyflowers23]

And just so you know, a tornado when you are in it, is extremely loud and pitch black, like a bus and earthquake times 1000, then you hear everything being lifted and thrown into everything, for example a car lifted and thrown on top of another car. It’s extremely terrifying. You simply have no idea cause you haven’t encountered it!

[@alanoffer]

Do they have "safe buildings'? Is that what this person is filming from? I know they have hills to climb for safety, but what about closer to water?

[@1719456]

In a video about what is referred to as the ''ghosts of the Tsunami'', what appears to be a plume of vapor, climbs the front of the small building, just to right of the tall tree, and appears to climb to the top of the building, at approx. the 10:45 mark. It moves in a unusual manner, for vapor. Many locals believed it to be that of a soul who had perished.
