The following footage was shot in Otsuchi Japan which was completely destroyed by the 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami that stuck just ten minutes after the earthquake.
The footage starts out at the Otsuchi harbor as everything was shaking and the ground was buckling. It continues as they evacuate the town and head for higher ground before the Tsunami comes ashore.
About ten minutes from the end of the earthquake, the Tsunami hits the town and destroys everything in the town. Footage shows the massive wave and rapid water rise along with tons of debris in the water.
Footage then shows the whole area is destroyed. Video ends with a clip of a fire truck and someone the loud speaker calling for help and the Videographer talking about what happened while in the dark.

![Tsunami in Japan [HD] 3.11 first person FULL raw footage](/img/n.gif)
Never seen a video like the first part. Capturing driving out of town. Tense moments!
if everyone did that or at least more then who did than there would have been far less casualties, I am a bit mystified at how many people just depended on the levies and didnt evacuate. many videos show people playing calm and cool by the shore line . rip for the dead If they only knew
@@weasele1 to be fair, these towns were built to withstand huge waves. They probably were more used to it than anyone else, that's why they even have warning systems in place compared to other coastal countries. It's just that the scale was so huge, even the evac centers were swept away.
Anyone having a bad day should watch this. It really puts things into perspective. My heart goes out to all those who went through this.
Hello it's me I’ve always hated the “someone has it worse than you” mentality. A lot of people have problems. Just because to you one may have it worse than another doesn’t make it less impactful to the person experiencing it.
Me too
Hello it's me me too
Well put and very true statement.
I watched it and it just made my bad day worse.
13:03 - The large catamaran deposited on top of the small concrete building was a famous image from this disaster. I saw a video of a crane that was brought in to lift it off afterwards.
Ships on land and houses in the sea! Nature is wild.
That's the worlds strongest house a tsunami couldn't sweep it away and a giant boat couldn't crush it.
my heart goes out for those unable to escape.
Can't believe people are criticising the footage. For goodness sake, thousands of people died and it probably wasn't being recorded for your entertainment!!!

Anyone who was filming had no idea what was actually going to happen. If they did make it out it was nothing less of a miracle that they did. The beging when everyone was saying here it comes and was just casually filming I couldn't imagine what they were thinking once it actually did arrive! That must have been closet to hell on Earth as u could get up to this point anyway, makes me worry about the future and what it holds sometimes. I watch these videos sometimes to remember just how good we do have it and if I want to bitch and complain about something I remember it can always be worse and to just suck it up and handle what needs to be done and that's all we can do until it's our turn to leave this world and helpfully we leave it with a clear conscience and to have helped and loved as many other people and critters!! Can't forget the critters, as much as possible cuz u never know when it's our time. Anyone that is being negative about this video and other ones like it just don't understand how small and fragile we really are and hopefully never experience anything such as this in their lifetime. 911 was tragic and was devastating to us but to put into perspective if the entire city of New York was wiped off of the face of the Earth that is basically what happened to these people by mother nature nonetheless! Many do forget or think that just because they are not in America that everyone in these videos or that were there are all 100% human and people just like you and I and to speak I'll of them cuz they may look different then we do is the real tragedy. Sorry i am talking to much now, lol have a good day to whoever made it this far!!
@_egas calybird TRUMP VOTERS continually behave this way!
Why make this political? Wow.
Watching a video on you tube is much better than watching tv & that propaganda. I don’t understand this person dragging Trump voters into this. Yes. I notice brain washed lefties foreign & not criticize my country. This video has nothing to do with Americans other than they happen to be there when it happened. I appreciated hearing English version. I lived in Okinawa as a kid so I have nothing against Japanese people. The one thing I have noticed in comments attacking people on ideology is that they are pretty young. You can tell by the verbiage they spew.
It's never explained here, but the Americans who shot this video were in this small Japanese city as anti-whaling monitors.
I was expecting to see everybody running/driving in the same direction. They all seemed so calm & casual.
Thank you Brian and Scott for all your hard work!
12 years later and I still feel bad for the people who live in Japan that were effected by it. They never deserved it. It was so beautiful though seeing the Japanese people help each other out and were very nice to each other. Most countries there would have been crime or looting or riots, none of that in Japan. I guess in some situations disasters can bring the best out of people. ❤ 🇯🇵
I can never get over the way the birds sound in all these Tsunami videos
Feast for them
So heart rending to watch. I know many survivors feel guilt for what they didn't do, but no one understood how bad it was going to be. I pray you are all well.
highly underrated video. you captured the beginning, middle, and end. peace to the souls lost when there should have been none.
Incredible footage ! I got a real feel for just how powerful and unbelievably FAST that tsunami was. I’m in awe
The level that water is up to that tree gives you perspective just how much water that actually was. Its incredible.
@davidca96 That little island in the bay with the red lighhouse thing on it is totally decimated. The scope of the disaster is just so mind-boggling!
At 13:12 the ship neatly deposited on top of a building is one of the most shocking scenes from the tsunami.
Of the hundreds if not thousands of hours of video of the tsunami taken that day. The clip at 8:00 of the wave racing up that tree was the scariest clip taken.
Tasermaxx you are right because at the top of that tree you can see a bunch of..... See for yourself
8 billion views are those nests?
i wish there was more time spent on the little island with the lighthouse
@@8billionviews752 "OF WHAT"??🤔
That was the best part for me also. It’s difficult to comprehend just how incredibly powerful a force is at work until you see footage like that.
Being half Japanese and having been to many of the effected areas, these videos make me very sad. RIP all that were lost!
my mother recently passed away and im watching these videos. I dont know why but I find them interesting becayuse they show the sheer power of nature these videos and glacier calving . its just to bad so many did not evacuate or waited so long. after all its not like it was a random ordinary earth quake. The one thing The Japanese do well is survive catastrophes. I wish the whole country well an a good recovery
so sad my condolence to everyone..this is something that no human being should go thru my heart goes out to all the families that lost there love ones and are dealing with this this now..so sorry:(
all these people are really upset bc the video wasnt recorded for their pleasure and isnt perfect while the person who made this was focused on surviving a natural disaster. if yall were faced with an incoming tsunami and your top priority was making sure a video was perfect you wouldnt make it
I guess some people have a hard time understanding the difference between reality and a Hollywood movie.
@@diane9247 unfortunately what you are saying is true
Its going to be a long time before people forget this. Never underestimate water!
/salute Japan!
absolutely chilling...witnessing a 9.0, escaping a doomed town against the clock in an electric car, sirens wailing and tsunami impending, getting to safe ground and seeing localized Armageddon, commandeering an abandoned firetruck to try and rescue someone in the water and the truck left ticking over - lights flashing and the woman pleading for help in a language no one there can understand.... Hollywood not required :/
Amazing video.
The water level ascending at 8:00 would have been priceless, for a wide expanse of water, the level going up several meters in a few seconds was what you should have framed and focused on. Thank goodness you survived.
Poor Japan. That was shockingly tragic.
Tragic absolutely but shocking ? nah not a chance.A virus destroyed Diachi the tsunami was an afterthought carried out by yanks & israelis for Japan offering to enrich uranium
yanks did it to China for the threat of ditching the petro dollar and so on
nothing shocks anymore when it comes to the biggest terrorist cell in the world the united states of israel 😠
POOR JAPAN... THEYVE LIED CONSTANTLY SINCE THEN... THE WHOLE PLANET IS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE THEY KEPT QUIET ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF THE DISASTER!
@@mikehunt3852
I hope you do not mean that seriously.
Because otherwise:
Amazing at what nonsense some people want to believe.
As if religions and other ideologies were not bad enough.
異国で災害に遭われたとき、言葉の壁が避難を遅らす様に感じました。
避難を促すアナウンスは日本語だけでなく、英語でも流す必要があると思いました。
撮影者の方々が、生きておられて本当に良かったと思いました。
@None jajajaja 😂
@None none jjaja
@None jaja
確かにそうですがやはりこんな大変な状況だとそこまで手が回らないというか、自国民に逃げてくださいって言うだけでいっぱいいっぱいだと思います...
kudos to you for filming this in high quality and making steady shots!
Excellent footage of the tree being rapidly submerged, absolutely chilling ! Glad you all made it out OK
Incredible footage and well done to keep safe, help others and show the events that happened. 👍🕊
Incredible footage. Glad you are OK.
Why does the film footage say Demo Clip Not For Broadcast????????
Was the woman floating in the harbour saved? How tragic that was for all those people. My heart goes out to them all.
I wondered what would happen to the small island that's visible starting at 3:44. Would everything on it be washed away, leaving it just bare rock? At 12:37, there it is again, with the water level around it dramatically lower - and to my surprise, the trees are intact. But I'm sure the pine tree with the large bird nest on the top at 7:53 did not survive, although the camera moves away from it before it undoubtedly was broken off by the rushing water.
@ 8:00 is just insane as others have said .. the fact it's not a stream or some neighborhood retention pond rising THAT quickly but a giant,,, vast area is just .... NO WORDS 👍✌️☮️
My heart goes out to these people, they seem like such nice mannerly people that have to endure so much.
Terrifying.....it's a good thing they have a very effective warning system
Too bad not all heeded it.
I grew up in a town on the Pacific Ocean in California with an elevation of 10 feet and when this happened it was a huge wake up call. It destroyed the boat docks in our harbor and we were thousands of miles away. Mind blowing and terrifying.
Excellent awareness and timing in your group! This has got to give you the chill.
Impressive footage. Thx for sharing.
notice how after the water rushes into the city, it starts to rush out to the ocean again. that’s the ripple effect. kinds like when a wave hits the edge of a pool then the wave bounces back towards the center of the pool
mathew marcus brilliant observation mr science
Why are you trying to teach us? And why are you doing it so badly?
mathew marcus 😒😒😒if u live near the sea you'll obviously know that the tsunami is a huuuuge wave so when it reaches the land at one point it'll go back and it's more dangerous when it goes back
@@mariamarie8605 how on earth is the receding wave more dangerous than the inbound wave?
@@supersmileyclub544 Watch more of thes tsunami videos and you will see. Start with tsunami onagawa
terrifying. living on the Oregon coast as I do I am always aware of what may happen. I feel so bad for the people who have lost everything, including so many lives.
My brother lives on the Oregon coast, less than a mile from the beach. I always worry about him. last time I stayed, think it was on wednesday evenings they tested the tsunami sirens, it 'mooooo'd' like a cow so you wouldn't mistake it for a normal siren, it was really eerie.
Amazing to me that the American narrator automatically presumes the scene with fleeing Japanese civilians would immediately deteriorate into a B-grade zombie movie with them “swamping the car”... like why would these people behave like that? It shows a lot about the mindset of the person saying it. In an emergency, he might be a person to stop someone and insist they save him. Very interesting. This was great footage. As Americans who have internalized exceptionalism, I find it truly fascinating when confronted with a society with collective values as primary. Everyone knows that we are in a hurry, but everyone also knows that obeying traffic laws is the way to make the situation the best possible - that would not happen in the US, and many lives would be lost in the stampeding chaos rather than merely the natural disaster. My two cents on hearing him say the quiet part out loud.
I’m so sad for people 😢❤ it’s been 13 years. My heart is still broken.
To say that the Firefighters “abandoned” you is very disrespectful to them. There were thousands of people who NEEDED them YOU were fine and safe.
It's just a word. It's ironic what you were implying they were is exactly what you are: someone who takes their current situation for granted.
Michael Fish man that is me. I was
Michael Fish sorry I was just thinking how I take my safety for granted. Japan I am so terribly sorry for all your loss.
We humans see one of the worst days of our lives, the birds see one of the best days they've had in a long time.
is theree a full video I would have loved to see more of that wee light house on that island
Americans like myself are clueless when it comes to this kind of disaster. The Americans in this video were clueless as well. Laughing at first.. crying to this day about what they witnessed and so happy they went up high in time.
My God this was horrific & massive! I cant imagine the gravity of just being there and seeing all this devastation what it must have done to all the witnesses & survivors is beyond comprehension & my heart goes out to them all, even still these years later, it is a tragic event in time & still has an enormous effect. God bless you all.
Wow, crazy that the little building on that rock in harbor survived.
man I feel really sorry for all those people. unbelievable footage--dude!!
Great footage. The out going water is more fightening.
Watching this eleven years later almost exactly (3/12/22) & it still shocks & saddens me to see how quickly everything can go from okay to disaster.
Its rare to see footage of the water being pulled back out to sea, so this is very interesting (11:29). Of course, then you think of the many, many bodies being pulled out to sea, what a terrible thing for the families who survived this.
You want to add a watermark, do it in a corner
i thought the same thing but then, people who rip off other people's content are completely ruthless and have no shame so i understand it too
OMG to all the people who lost their lives. May you all R.I.P XX
Abandoned maybe a bit strong. You’re alive, I’m sure those firemen wanted to see if their families made it.
To all those lost, may your souls find peace.
Grey Line i think he said, abandoned this. meaning the fire truck. I could be wrong though.
Naw, they came back from rescuing people and said WTF! SOMEBODY STOLE OUR TRUCK!
Sad thing is .. the hospitals probably under water or floated away .. gas stations under water or floated away so fire truck can’t refill .. this was a major major disaster of incomparable proportion. Every person affected had to literally start all over with the clothes on their back. Most their homes AND cars gone .. phone and power lines down, no idea how to check on family .. thousands were never even found. I can’t imagine this.
@@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043They were overfilled. So we're shelters for thousands upon thousands. People were fed one rice roll a day. Children first. A week later boxes and boxes of previsions were delivered. They were able to eat finally. Because of the nuclear plants issues ( one of the world ever) thousands of people lost there homes that were living in tsunami free zones 20 miles away from the plant. It was devastating.😢😢🙏🙏❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲
That's just creepy on so many levels. You can see around the rock protrusions the water rushing out to meet the front of the tsunami, and you can see the front edge of the tsunami itself. What's even scarier is anyone who knows about wave and land formation interaction will be feeling a rising sense of dread seeing the narrow sound into the harbor. That pinching down is going to exponentially amplify that tsunami. All put together this screams that that whole town is about to be literally washed away.
So when the areas were flooded after you skipped over parts, was that just smaller sections of ocean water being pushed up by the actual large wave? I couldn't believe that land bar how much larger it got after the actual wave came in!!! Unbelievable footage.
Did you guys see the birds nest on top of the tree at 8:05? I hope it was abandoned and no baby birds were in there. I have a soft spot for animals.
Was the lady saved? I saw the video about that poor dog adrift for 3 weeks. I hope someone saved her
Omg this must have been so surreal actually being there! So scary!!
Any chance you can cram more text over the video? It could definitely use more crap covering up the video
StormChasingVideo Fair enough. Damn shame that it has to be that way. Wish people could just respect others shit.
StormChasingVideo I wouldn’t even acknowledge these asshats.
It was a Sea Shepherd group but cool story....
Can I rebroadcast this? Thank you.
Did they save the lady, who was in water too far out for rope rescue
IS. SO SAD..AFTER. 8 YEARS....BLESSINGS
What did they have, like five minutes, to get to higher ground?
What happened with the rescue at the end? Were they able to get the boat's attention and rescue the woman?
I would never forget this very sad day. IT still hurts me to my heart. And may all of them innocent people continue to RIP 🙏.
Rip to all the poor souls who lost their lives that day
Mr Barnes, this is incredibly horrifying! How you managed to keep your cool I'll never know! The devastation is beyond most peoples comprehension. I cant imagine what it must be like to have witnessed this first hand. Im so thankful you all survived this! What a record of events you have shared with us! Thank you for your bravery & for sharing this for the world to see. Bless you. Im looking forward to seeing your other video's.
That little island is the site of a shinto shrine. It's connected to the mainland by a seawall, but in this video the seawall was completely underwater.
Tornadoes and Tsunamis are the scariest natural disasters in my opinion because the warning times are extremely short. Earthquakes also but that goes without saying due to the fact they are connected with Tsunamis
Tropical Cyclone (Typhoons/Hurricanes) as well
at 11:03 is that a second wave coming in after the first wave is receding?
It's a mix of the wave still coming in and the other part of it is receding in the ocean already so it creates the mess you see at 11:02 (11:20 also)
Recently there was a longer version of
this that included the long hike out
over the debris.(20-some min.)
This is so insane. It must have been very surreal to watch land and buildings and people and animals be consumed in seconds. People in ships had no time to escape. I’m horrified watching that ship tossed around like a leaf on the ocean. These people are so chill. I would by crying, hyperventilating. Traumatized knowing people were dying. It is very impressive video though. The outrush vs the incoming Tsunami.
Stay strong Japan
Incredible to realize that the entire town was trashed in less than 15 minutes.
I'm getting a bit sick of being told what I can and can't say on you tube.
We're being seriously restricted and it's not ok.
WHY IS NO ONE SAYING ANYTHING?
That is harrowing video.
Was the woman who was stranded in the water, who they mentioned at the end of the video, rescued successfully?
You guys are so #$%%$#$ lucky to have escaped with your lives. To witness that must have been something that words can not convey.
Luck had nothing to do with it. They were warned, they followed the warning advice and got to safety.
they got a 20 minutes head start compared to anyone on the city. The guy on the radio at the beginning saved their lives
In Google Earth, I think you can see the firetruck at 39°20'52.05"N 141°54'50.59"E,
on the 3/31/2011 image. I also noticed that in some nearby ravines the water ran up to 80 feet, unless the elevations are wrong.
amazing footage
That's one great video
that was close, guys. :) Good job.
Unbelievable I couldn't imagine being there ! I couldn't help but to notice the sea shepherd hoodie at the end.
Same
I don’t understand why they continue living right on the coast like that.
@Ronnie Rhodes I mean... heavily populated nation + the need to take advantage of all available space = occupying coastal regions. Japan isn't exactly the only country doing this.
@@kingcobrajfsofficial but it is one of the only places where the chances of a tsunami happening are about as good as the chances of the sun coming up
It is a long narrow island, and the interior is made of volcanic mountains. Settlements form where there is flat land and water
Was the woman in the water rescued ?
Kinda does look like a movie and not real life but it was and the devastation was unbelievable!
StormChasingVideo Did that woman ever get rescued?
Tsunami 🌊 very terrorizing, No more no more never 地震 oh 😯 my God no please....🙏🙏🙏🙏
what are you doing there why exactly the tsunami it happened. are you working or your tourist.
This was so horrible. God Bless them all
The fires are an interesting twist to the disaster.
Soon it will be 10 years since this horrible tragedy happened. Time flies and I hope, the people who were affected by this could find strength and new hope to go through the last years 🕯
2:00 it's the perfect time to panic, yet still waiting for the traffic lights. In my country people break the rules even in regular days
Adam Fadhillah Duh it’s Japan 🤣
Nothing can beat nature.
It's says this is not for broadcast. ?????
That is amazing.
Just compare 4:50 and 12:30 , unbelievable
I wonder how real powerful big airboats would do during that.
Wow mother nature is so poweefull
I hada friend whose daughter was killed in this tsunami. She lives here in the US, and the loss was devastating to her.
ご無事でなによりです🙇🏻♂️
