- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Video footage recorded by Katsuo Sawaguchi. Upscaled video quality and doubled FPS.
The video was recorded from the Shimoakka-oohashi bridge where National Route 45 and the Akka River intersect.
Mr. Sawaguchi came to the bridge after the earthquake.
After low tide, the arrival of the first tsunami is shown by drastic changes in the wave height. In the far north, over Noda Bay towards the Kuji city, the camera captures huge waves breaking on the shoreline in the distance. When the camera points towards the port, large waves approach it. On the south side of the harbor, the waves roll up the embankment.
The big wave comes ashore with great force and crashes into the harbor. All the fishing boats that were in the port are washed away.
Mr. Sawaguchi stops the recording and evacuates to a nearby hill. Taking refuge, he once again begins to record the state of the town. The days after the tsunami, Mr Sawaguchi records the damage occurred in the Noda area.

To this day, every one of the videos of the tsunami still blow my mind.
7 cubic miles of water was displaced with the thrust of the ocean floor.
5:24 Maybe the most impressive shots i ever saw of a tsunami wave. Here for 1-2 seconds you really get an impression of its size and power
Like some ravening monster coming towards you.
Really impressive!!
Yes. That is the rarest footage of all. That immense wall of water is the thing of legend.
That wall of water was terrifying. Amazing how little scouring of the river bed though, as if the pressure just pinned the rocks down.
@@NowInAus for a split second it almost looks like a great surfing wave, then it crashes and u see its power
I have watched just about every video there is on this disaster.
That wave, acted different in every place it demolished.
It was like it had a special treat for each location. Brewing and bubbling. Some places that got hit, the wave was just one big wave. Other places it came in smaller waves, each one deeper than the last. The rise of the ocean coming at you full speed
Some, were white water top waves that looked as if they were angry. Jumping and lashing at the coast line. In a hurry to devour.
Mass destruction.
My heart goes out to those that lived through that horrific day. And my thanks to everyone that helped these people pick up the pieces of what was left of their lives.
All countries and nations that offered a hand up was noble and much appreciated by all Im sure. Peace be with you
it usually depends on the place it hits, the topography and whether is an harbour ..etc
@@GroovyCODM and also the refraction around points and whatnot
Actualy there were 2 massive waves that it all the coast line.
@@jpmtlhead39 The waves aren't important, it's what's behind them - a huge slab of water shifting fast over the earth. Normal waves the water doesn't move.
@@flaneur5560 the waves aren't important,you say.
Well,you are very wrong my friend.
In 2004 in the Indian Ocean Tsunami,you have several footages,were you can see the tsunami created waves hitting the shore line with such power,that took everyone by surprise. In Sri Lanka were the death toll was the 2nd highest,the shore line was hit,not by 1 or 2,but by 7 massive waves,the sames ones that cause such death toll. You have that 'famous " footage,were you see a Passenger train,completely Wrecked because the railway line os running by the shore line,and in Manny accounts of survivers,everyone Said the same,the train was hit directly by a huge wave
But iam gonna tell the difference beetween both Tsunamis ( the 2004 One,and the 2011 One).
I know the ocean very well. I was in the navy for 3 years,and i surf for the last 42 years.
This to say that the waves on the 2004 tsunami,were Devastating for 2 reasons,1 st there were several waves ( in 2011 in Japan,were only 2 massive waves) hitting the shoreline directly (were in that part of the World the majorety of people lives, then the death toll being just Horrible), and the 2nd reason,its one thing that calls for Continental ocean shelf.
In the area of the 2004 tsunami ,the continental ocean shelf its very deep,without obstacles until suddendly its the Reefs and the water rises very high ,and creates massive waves,wich combined with an highly density populated shore line,its the perfect recipie for disaster,wich unfortunably happened.
In Japan that doesnt happen,the continental ocean shelf,dont have any osbtacles,dont have any kind of barrier between the ocean and the shore line.
Thats the difference between those 2 huge tsunamis. In Japan the rise of the ocean floor made possible for the ocean have Run free and entered the coast line,and far beyond
In relation to waves,you say that the water dont moves ...well iam asking you now,when a big waves breaks on the beach,what do you think that happens to all that water?? It just cant Stay there,for sure???
Look i live in Portugal near the town of Nazaré,wich have the biggest waves in the world,rising 30 metera above the ocean. They are realy Monsters .
But being there by yourself,its when you realize the true dimenson of those very,very high and Massive waves.
And when you see and ear One 25mts high wave breaking,its a very special and Scary fealing .
And again,a 25,30mts high wave breaks,and what do you think that happens to all of those millions of liters of water...they dont Stay there,do they ???
And the same applies to any size of wave.
So Next time,just tell what you think that happens,and dont say that the water doesnt move,ok man,because its a very "stup.." answer..
This is the first 2011 Tohoku video I've seen that showed a massive breaking wave like that. Most of the others, the water just...appears. And keeps rising. And won't stop. This, you really see the crushing power of that first wave overtopping that seawall like it's nothing. Wow.
Where is it?(time stamp)
@@JohnnyLaps Starting about 5:10 and going on from there.
@@Moose6340 got it.. terrifying
Massive? How big would you say it is? And the seawall?
As the seawall does not look very tall.Nothing to measure it.Thus hard to get an idea.
It's so bazar to have to wait for disaster. It's so beautiful, waves are relaxing, birds doing bird stuff, then the changes start happening. I've learned a lot from the 2011 tsunamu videos. My area of California is susceptible, so if I hear a warning signal, Im heading up for sure and not taking a stroll at the local marina, or driving over the low San Mateo Bridge.
So sad, 11 years on, and you know there are still people dealing with the loss..... Thinking of you Japan.
?🌊
"Thinking of you japan"?? Eyeroll...
I think of the innocent whales the Japanese needlessly slaughter for sport every year.
@@markholbeche5895I'd bet wherever you're from does some pretty horrible shit, too.
TOTALLY unnecessary for this to be an ongoing devastation every so often.
Well done the man who filmed this. Recording history. 👏
Well, but he missed exactly the most interesting moments..
@@NetzKanal I look forward to viewing yours.
@@SilentKnight43 well, if I get the chance...
Omg. The initial energy hitting spot was insane. The power of that wave was just crazy to me.
What an awesome Coastal perspective from somebody who lives near a different coast! Thank you ever so much. I feel Ive learned much
All the best!
The sheer volume of water that comes in, and then how fast it recedes is mind boggling
only for the second wave to come crashing in, as worse as the first!
And the amount of water it pulls back into the sea is mind boggling too .
What’s so mind boggling about science?
Cela fait 11 ans que cela c'est produit,, toujours aussi impressionnant et effrayant.
No matter how long has passed something so tragic and horrific will never lessen in that way.
3.11の地震は日本で起きましたが約1日後、この地震の振動が地球の中を通り、ノルウェーのフィヨルドで1m前後の海面の上昇と下降、異常な潮の流れを起こし、船が流されかける現象が起きました😰（NHKの映像で見ました）地球の自転にも影響を与えたようです。被害が大きくなった理由の1つに1000年に1回という周期の地震だったので文字による記録がほとんど無く津波や地震の痕跡も時と共に消えてしまったからでした😞最近では地震が無い場所でも大規模なダムなどの人工物や人間の活動により局地的に誘発地震が起きる事が知られるようになりました（wikiで中国のダムで起きた、と書かれてました）地震に限らず、自分が住んでいる場所の災害の歴史に関心を持って命や財産を守る事に繋がるように心から願います。
Those breaking waves @5:00 mark are HUGE!!!
Yea tsunamies are never a round wave but this one was perfectly round it was kinda satisfying to me
I've never seen this footage. Some of the best I've seen so far.
The ocean is such a scary thing. Silent, moving, powerful and deadly.
I am glad they ran away from the incoming wave. Does anyone know where to find an other video of this town and the wave that hit it? I can see the water mark along the rocks, so I can assume the wave was that high. The person filming had to run, and was only able to film after the wave started to recede. I would like to see the wave at its highest. It is interesting to see the wave types, throughout all these tsunami videos. As someone pointed out, this is a view of the wave, that didn’t show itself in other places. It didn’t seem to drain the shoreline, as much as it had in other cities, in the beginning, yet the initial wave was huge. It wasn’t until after the first wave, the shoreline emptied out. Thank you for sharing this video.
I haven't seen very many videos where they show you the water receding like that, or the after affect. I lived with hurricanes for all my life and the tidal surge from them is very similar just a little slower coming and going
Im surprised to see there are a lot of videos of this tsunami i havent seen..
Same here.
Think lots of people still have and had footage that was not uploaded yet...
My three close friends and their whole families including a new born child lost their lives that day.
So sorry to hear about this. I am fascinated by how the sea or water will pull out then she comes rushing back In
I am very sorry for your loss. I am sure they leave a big hole in your heart.
This showed receding water, which is also interesting ...
R.i.p. to those who lost their lives 😥♥️
I also have watched many of this videos. What amazes me is why most of this never was shown on main stream media. These people lost everything, shouldn't that have been shared along with some humanitarian relief efforts.
Because Lame stream media are just an absolute joke. There is no real reporting anymore, they are all told what to write. You would think this should be shown for safety on Tsunami awareness, but noooooo they would rather highlight that men can get pregnant or putting tampons in men's bathrooms.
fuck media
That's because the leftists can't use racism and division to get people to donate.
Yt hiding comments

Core!!! Now that's by far the biggest tsunami wave I've seen!!
Impressionante... A força da água é absurda
un metre cube d'agua pese 1 Ton! La il y a des millions de tons.
I still watch these videos of the events from that day and think of your loss, I know you are rebuilding still but I want to say I think of all those souls.
Love from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 ❤
Listen to the birds...they know what's up.
This the 1st time I seen the define shape and size of a tsunami wave! Great video
Caring for life is important. Follow the instructions given. Save yourself, family and children. Always be patient and helpful to others
Yes, please.
The scene at the harbour was one of the recurring scenes of the East Tohoku tsunami played by the media in the days following the tsunami. It was definitely ones of the first I saw.
Every day there’s a new video about that tsunami 12 years later
not really, youtube is a vast library and you have to look for them. Japan tsunami 2011 helps find those.
Como é triste ver a água destruir tudo que encontra pelo caminho! Com a natureza não se brinca.
Oh god seeing it form really puts it in a entirely new context
Are the birds normally that noisy ?
The perspective that close and that height, you can see the massive undulations of the surface
its amazing that some of that debris is still hitting west coast of America.
it would be interesting to see what it looks like today
You can see the power of that wave and that's just a baby Tsunami. Imagine that 100ft or 1000ft. They say the largest known Tsunami was 1,700ft+ according to fossil records.
You see the water receding like that, you get the flip out of there toot sweet!!!!
First time i heard no sirens warning about a tsunami Erie silence so spooky
Those birds, at the beginning, were trying to warn them of what they saw coming.
Thank you for that spot on translation. I was wondering what all their chatter was about.
Yeah, they were like "wrah what wrha". Obvious translation 😆
Remember folks .. at 5:00 those waves are 40-60 foot tall
Which is not very big 😏 That's like a normal day here in Hawaii
@@mickg260 The waves in Hawaii on a normal day don’t continue inland for miles.
I mean it is probably to high estimated. The wave at 5:26 breaks / falls down or crashes in 1,3 secundes. With the free fall formular h = 0,5 * g * t ^2 you get h = 0,5 * 9,81 m/s^2 * (1,3 s)^2 = 8,3 m (27 ft). So 30 ft i would say. But very dangerous at all.
@@mickg260 remember that it’s like the wall of a 40-60 tide change that happens in the span of 15 minutes
I KNOW FROM FILMING AS BAD AS THE FOOTAGE MAY APPEAR, IT’S NOTHING COMPARED TO THOSE THAT WITNESSES IT IN PERSON! THE JAPANESE ARE TRULY A STRONG PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH A CATACLYSMIC EVENT LIKE THIS AND TO GO ON AND REBUILD THEIR COUNTRY AND PERSEVERE WITH THEIR LOSSES. PRAYERS TO COUNTRY OF THE RISING SUN.
Whenever I watch these, I always think at the beginning of the video before the wave hits oh, okay 18,000 people are still alive, and then when the video is over I think and now they're all gone. These videos are so sad but at the same time it makes me think of the 120,000 gone in Ukraine. I think we could do a lot more as human beings.
I haven't seen some of this footage until now.
When there’s a rapid retreat of water from the shore…run
Amazing Natural Power ! 👍
Ive never seen the first part before
yeah same the first two minutes is new
Yes, the first part I think was a few days before the tsunami.
Or the last one
how tall you reckon that first wave? I reckon 18-20 feet when it was curling ...
That footage is so fucking scary.
I've grown up by the sea and happened to experience multiple times how strong water really is. Currents can be crazy strong, trap you under water, just take you with it....and there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING anyone can do.
This tsunami wave appears out of nothing. Its not even a wave....it's like raised water level just swallowing everything underneath without mercy.
To imagine being trapped in a situation like that is the worst feeling ever.
How many lives of humans and animals we lost is unimaginable. Sad. I'm sorry for everyone's losses! Also the material losses.
Having all your possessions just swept away....omg.
Nothing left but tears. 🙁
first time seeing this footage, hope they were on higher ground, devastating, if ya had a boat, only hope to get to deeper water, just a big swell
When that first wave came in the sucked it right back out...i knew there was a more devastating one to follow but this footage only showed the first wave...
That was crazy weird 🌞
@@kellyjoiner4418 yes very much so👍
@Kwazimo Kava Forgive the rambling, cuz I know I do it..
The wave comes in, and keeps going, as far as it can possibly be pushed.
And stops. Then takes the exact same path back to where it came from.
It seems to have a purpose.
It's just kinda "bugga bugga" to me, if you know what I mean.
I'm not crazy, although you're probably thinking that 😆 just sayin is all. 🌞
@@kellyjoiner4418 no its ok...its good to hear other peoples opinions as it helps create questions👍😊
@Kwazimo Kava I've never looked at it that way, thanks for that. Enjoy your weekend. If it is actually the weekend where you're at. 🌞
What a horrifying event!
Imagine seeing almost everything you know obliterated in an instant
Ikr? 🥺😱💔
Don't underestimate the power of the ocean.
For all the things we have accomplished as humans, we are still at the mercy to Mother Nature. We have somewhat learned to live with some of her fury, but she still rules.
Notice how it went from choppy to flat calm.
So what is the update on the aftermath?
Unbelievable. Swept clean.
Coming in is destructive and just awful. But when it goes back out to the sea...it's just eerie quiet. Wow
🌞
@@kellyjoiner4418 Bulldozer, then avalanche plus bulldozer. Brutal.
Notice that even 4 by ,4 foot rip rap has been removed...dragged out and the seawall has moved. That is a cast concrete monolithic engineered structure.
@Christopher Reinheimer Yikes
If it's known that an area is subject to have something catastrophic happen, why aren't structures and the like "modified" (if that's the right word) to withstand it? 🌞
That breaking wave doesn't look that big ... until you compare to the size of the boats near the shore.
Wish these videos had sub titles or that I knew Japanese
I've watched a lot of this tsunami video and i am always left feeling the same; a sense of awe about how cruel nature can be and how resilient humans are.
Yet humans can be cruel and nature resilient!
Supposedly, when the 2004 Indonesian earthquake struck, the island closest to ground zero had a 100' wave that blot out the sun. The aftermath photos and pics of before and after were shocking. No footage was recorded of that wave, nothing came out of that area except a few survivors. I just can't imagine a tsunami wave bigger than the 5:20 wave.
The Japanese are a great nation !!! They are withstanding after such a horrific disaster !
“The ocean,,,,,,she was angry that day”
Is this place far away from the epicentrum ? The tsunami not too huge.
Pikachu sounded shocked as the waves arrived.
🤣🤣🤣
The earth tilted off axis.
not full footage. only shows one wave.
Maybe Japan can explore the sea bed to find where the possible landslides could happen. If the landslides could be triggered prematurely then maybe a more serious tsunami can be avoided.
The tsunami was a result of the 9.0 Tōhoku (Great East Japan) Earthquake. While there may have been subsea landslides as a result, the earthquake provided nearly all of the energy to cause the tsunami. Given Japan’s location on the Ring of Fire, more large earthquakes are inevitable. The only solution appears to be moving people out of the tsunami zone. Seawalls are likely cost prohibitive. I found this on Wikipedia in case you’re interested:
“The earthquake moved Honshu 2.4 m (8 ft) east, shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in), increased Earth's rotational speed by 1.8 µs per day… Initially, the earthquake caused sinking of part of Honshu's Pacific coast by up to roughly a metre, but after about three years, the coast rose back and then kept on rising to exceed its
The power displayed. You think it will eventually stop but it just keeps coming and rising and it won’t stop.
Shit got real! You could feel the energization of the sea in the moments crescendoing in crash crash.
For some reason you kept focusing on the sky, why? All the action was in the water!
If you have the ability to zoom into this recording, you can see the 100s of bodies left as the water came to an outgoing trickle
The thing is they expected a meter high tsunami. I think so many did because the slumping of land, created a massive underwater wave, which deflected by the ocean topogrsphy, into extra ordinary water forms. Totally out of the blue disaster.
En minutos lo perdieron todo ... Pobre gente 😢😢
Aunque viendo el video, el desastre fue menor a otros sitios ...
😞😞😞🇦🇷
If you think you are high enough, go higher.
Lucky seagulls, they can let the wave be practically upon them, fly up and that's it. Every other creature on sea and earth gets smashed and carried away.
衝撃的な映像です。
津波の恐ろしさを思い知らされます。
The Japanese are a great nation !!! They are withstanding after so a horrific disaster !
Thank you for your kindess.12 years have passed since then. Although there's a long way to go, people of the affected areas are doing best to rebuild their town, and it has so progressed. We Japanese thanks for the support and kindness form people all over the world since then!

Too sad ❤
it comes in, takes what ever it wants n calmly goes back out.
5:25 that wave is huge
I watch this ever so often thinking what some of use in the Pacific north west will most likely need to deal with one day. Hopefully not anytime soon…
Pffft. Can't be soon enough in some cases. 🤣
I think Aberdeen would be a mess to get out of and all the little towns like Ocean Shores. The traffic would be a impossible to get to safety.
Better have a REAL PLAN- THE GEOGRAPHICAL RECORD KNOWS IT'S PRECISELY OVER DUE- 👌🏻 THIS IS REAL .
@@starcrib I just saw a video of the main offices of the red cross Japan. As the earth was shaking like mad,
they were preparing already for the aftermath. It was incredible to see. There was an army of people preparing
everything for all the victims to be! Very impressive.
5th floor of a modern concrete and steel reinforced builder or higher to survive.
4:55
Never turn your back on the sea. In particular if there has just been a M 9.1 earthquake in it.
of course you should and then run as fast as you can!
I heard no sirens or warnings of any kind. 🙁
I also thought, "Where are the tsunami warnings and sirens?" Nothing like the many other videos I have seen.
The footage on this film says right on it 2011 which I thought that that was correct cuz I've seen them all
The sea gulls /birds ,were sounding the alarm fir a ling time before any human alarms
He dropped the Camera at the height of the waves.
They all seem to do this.
Noda..?
10m or 15m?
4:20 💨💨💨
4:59 mark...Bigfoot peeking at you hiding in the rocks.
Funny you can hear the birds but there are no sirens for the latest oceanic events 🙄
would love some translations to English so we can get a fill of what is being said
Here th-cam.com/video/uchzMBLFb6M/w-d-xo.html
the footage is a bit shorter, but you can turn on subtitles
shaky cameras make me wanna throw up. why focus on rock instead of the GIANT wave coming in?
I remember this even though I was a kid. Very tragic. I never did find out if any Americans were killed. I hope not.
I SAY AGAIN, there is NO NEED for houses to be overtopped by the TSUNAMI nor is there any need for the massive EVACUATIONS. There will be another TSUNAMI soon, will you be ready and will the new houses be overtopped?
The sea was angry on that day.
GIVE me a contract to build one residentiaI facility. I would gladly remain in it during the occurrence of the TSUNAMI.
Are those people being carried out to sea..jeeesch
