It's pretty ironic that you were traveling from SF, the earthquake city, and the first thing that happens when you touch down in Japan is an earthquake.
That's Japanese for ya, earthquakes often happen is Japan so they're used to it and after what happened I doubt they won't make an earthquake proof buildings
We Japanese learn at school how to react to quakes when we are kids. Plus, unless buildings are old, most buildings are sturdy quake-resistant, and won't collapse easily. Please visit Japan free from anxiety.
Agreed, I'm from San Francisco, I know all about this. And the only "mass panic" there would be would be me running to get cover under a table or something.
I think they handled it fairly given the current situation and people working at the airport not knowing if their families and homes had been affected by the earthquake or not. Overall in my opinion I think they handled it well.
Amazing how strong it was considering how far away you were from the epicentre. You can tell how big an earthquake is by how long it lasts. Mag 7.8 main shake ~2minutes 7.1 40seconds 6.3 15seconds . Although it seems a lot longer than that at the time. Being from NZ those are the only decent EQ's I've had experience of.
I live down in the greater Los Angeles area. Thats about the same for panic as it is up there. All we get is people running for cover, then have them get up and walk away like nothing happened.
Damn bro this is crazy! I was looking all over for this video since you mentioned it today. I've been through quite a few earthquakes the biggest one I was in was in Chile South America. I don't think I can ever get used to them lols
@hebneh The first earthquake was at 2:46, but the second one was about 3:15. That's the earthquake that most of this video is showing. This was the strongest aftershock on March 11th - according to Wikipedia article entitled "東北地方太平洋沖地震の前震・本震・余震の記録" ("Record of foreshocks, main quake, and aftershocks of the Tohoku Region Pacific Offshore Earhquake") this was a M7.7. This was just off the coast of Ibaraki Prefecture, and therefore Narita airport was quite close to the epicenter.
I love how people get down on the ground to keep from falling over (smart), but no one thinks to cover their head with their hands to protect from possible falling debris.
I saw at least one person covering their head but other than the signs above head there isn't a ton in that area that could have fell on them anyway unless the ceiling decided to give in.
I'm amazed that the Japanese could stay calm at these type of situation. If it was in my country, people would be running and screaming towards the exit! There would more injuries/casualties caused by the stampede than the earthquake.
It's not easy evacuating an airport, I guess, given the security checkpoints etc. What was your perception of how Narita officials handled passengers after the earthquake?
Steve: Were you scared? I've been through a ton of earthquakes when I lived in Los Angeles and you never get used to them. You get sea legs when they happen. I remember the Northridge earthquake and 15 minutes before the earthquake at 4:15am I woke up and asked myself "why can't I fall asleep, I don't have to wake up until 6am" then 15 minutes later at 4:30am my bed started to do a cha cha and I ran unlatched my front door (I used to live in a studio apartment) and stood in my door way and it was very hard to stand during the quake.
We lived in Torrance when the Northridge quake hit. My husband was in the bathroom, (in his underwear) getting ready for work, I felt the bed start to move, got up "hey we're having an earthquake" I was pregnant and had an 18month old. It started to really shake, Husband grabbed the baby and we went out and stood on the front porch. It was the first earthquake where I thought I might fall down trying to get out. We never stayed in the house during earthquakes, as 6 ft behind our house was a LA Riverbed flood control, and we were on adobe soil, always feared the house would slide into the ditch. To be honest? We live in Colorado now, and I'd trade the random tornado's we get here, for earthquakes any damned day.
@Kyle Copied from wikipedia “It produced maximum ground g-forces of 0.56, 0.52, 0.56 at units 2, 3, and 5 respectively. This exceeded the seismic reactor design tolerances of 0.45, 0.45, and 0.46 g for continued operation, but the seismic values were within the design tolerances at units 1, 4, and 6.” The explosion was caused by the power shutdown. Still, Japan’s construction engineering is great for me, and they must have learned many things from this accident.
Interesting that the clock that's suspended from the ceiling (and which is being shaken back and forth) shows the time is 3:16 pm. It took that much time for the shock waves from the earthquake's inception at 2:46 pm to reach this point.
Ironic how he mentions the Christchurch earthquake. That was about two weeks before this one and 28 Japanese exchange students died when their school building collapsed. After that, many Japanese people were saying "It's dangerous to go overseas. It's so safe in Japan." Then this one hit. Within an hour 20,000 people would be dead. Also noteworthy is how the earthquake is still the big story on the airport TV (footage from the Tokyo area). The tsunami videos from up the coast hadn't come in yet.
They were saying the truth. The 20k death are from tsunami, not earthquake itself. Their building pretty much safer than outside from unkown falling debris.
Azen Kwed Oh okay, so I guess you can escape an earthquake in an airplane without being affected after all. But what is an air quake? I read that it's basically a storm happening during an earthquake, but not sure if it's true.
I wonder... did you had to evacuate even without police control done? Narita is an airport located in a zone without risk of tsunami (I suppose) but... what about Haneda Airport? (the one in the coast of Tokyo). Do people has to evacuate even if they didn’t passed by INTERPOL? Cheers from Chile, the other earthquake-expert country 🇨🇱🇯🇵
Superstar Candy Apparently earthquake safety is taught in all Japanese schools, and one of the main rules is never to panic. It’s just ingrained in Japanese citizens from when they were children. Even though this quake was larger than the others they’ve experienced, the same rules apply.
So if this is a drill in Narita International Airport I can still play my laptop in the building not to duck and cover, still playing, but not cause damage during the alarm or earthquake drill
Immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake, people living in Tokyo did not know the scale of the damage in the entire Tohoku region until they saw the TV footage, of course. Many of the people in these images were aware at this point that "the earthquake was longer and bigger than usual," that "trains have been suspended to check for safety and to be cautious of a recurrence of the earthquake, and so people cannot go home," that "Tokyo's electricity and water lifelines have not yet been shut down," and that "Cell phone service is still spotty.“ That was the situation of the people in this video at that time. Still, everyone was calm, even though they could have been more panicked. Why is that? The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the Jomon pottery” culture. The country name word "NIPPON”(Japan) means "the land under the sun" , but another name is "WA" or "YAMATO" , meaning “Peacefully Harmony among People and with Nature”. So, Japan's name means “the Land under the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,” In this island nation surrounded by the sea on all sides, since ancient times, people have lived peacefully in groups, respecting harmony, and living in harmony with nature and enjoying the blessings of nature. The original country names from ancient times "YAMATO, WA" reflect their wishes and realities. In public places where everyone gathers, everyone should act in a way that “Do not disturb others.“ If all participants can act in a way that “you do not cause trouble to others," that is, at the same time, it will create an environment in which “No one cause trouble to you” The same is true if we substitute the phrase "everyone always help others in need.” If everyone does this, it will create a social situation in which "when you are in trouble, someone will help you.” This is a very rational group wisdom to live in peace with each other. This is not for the sake of any particular person, but in order to live equally comfortably with each other, the obligation to act for the peace of mind of "all participants with each other" also arises. Therefore, they believe that the right thing to do in public places is not to bother others, even if there are no garbage cans, to take home garbage that they have soiled themselves and dispose of it on “their own responsibility”, and not to throw garbage away in public places where it will bother others. This is because they have been taught through their childhood “education” that this is an ancient teaching, a tradition, and “a natural duty of adults.” It is a teaching and a rule of life that has been handed down in this island nation since ancient times. “A peaceful environment can only be built through mutual give and take, each other.” One for all, all for one, the sprits of OTAGAI-SAMA, TASUKEAI (help each other, everyone)". ”In times of trouble, we are there ,help for each other.”（Komatta Toki ha Otagaisama) Because of its so long history, the Japanese themselves are unaware that they themselves have an "unknown no-named religion”. However, they have inherited it through the long history of this island nation. They have lived collectively in their island environment for more than 14,000 years, and this has given them the wisdom of life to survive in that environment, which is condensed in the traditional Japanese teachings. But the interesting thing about Japanese culture is that this obligation is only for the peaceful life of each other in public places where everyone gathers, and does not regulate individual personal beliefs, hobbies, and preferences, which are the free choice of the individual. This has not been treated academically yet, but it has been a feature of Japanese culture since ancient times. That is why so many different cultures have blossomed in each period of Japanese history. There are two main reasons why Japan, an island nation, has developed its own unique culture. One is the natural environment of the warm and humid climate volcanic islands. Surrounded by the sea on four sides, Japan has a warm climate that provides abundant water resources, plants, and food. On the other hand, the warm and humid climate is a favorable environment not only for humans, but also for microorganisms and bacteria, which can easily multiply and cause health problems and epidemics if left in their natural state. Also, in terms of location and topography, typhoons, windstorms, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., It is an environment that has both a rich natural environment suitable for human life, and a harsh natural environment. Japanese cleanliness is a necessary behavior to overcome this negative element. This concrete example, such as daily cleaning and washing, tidying up, and daily bathing habits, and they has done education from an early age because it is a matter of life and death. This is the reason why the culture has developed a perfectionist behavior and that everything be handled to the last detail in order to eliminate negative environmental elements from thier lives. This is all from the ancient wisdom of life in order to survive in this island environment, unlike life on the continent, where it is dry. Second, because they are geographically isolated from Eurasia in the Pacific Ocean, they have historically been less vulnerable to invasion from other continental nations and powers, and in fact have not been invaded by other nations, including cultures, until the modern era. These two factors (an island nation's natural environment and geopolitical isolation) are the reasons why Japan is different from other Asian nations and historically gave birth to a unique Japanese culture. So once you enter this island, it doesn't matter if you are foreigner or Japanese, “all people are equally” expected to cooperate and contribute their behavior to make life comfortable for each other. " We act with each other so as not to cause trouble for others." Because if even “one person stops this”, the comfortable environment “will disappear” in an instant. Surprisingly, a unique and advanced civic cultural consciousness has existed in Japan since ancient times, don't you think?
I just watched your video like an hour ago and have read this comment. after going through various airport vids of the 3.11 quake, I came across this one watch?v=CHNGZAE5m0A and it immediately reminded me of your Delta comment
There always so disciplined and polite ! In every other country people would be screaming and plowing threw people to get out of there ! Like in the USA people be like get the fuck out the way nigga ! In the U,K they be like out my WAY WANKER ! In CANADA they be sorry plz plz get out my way im sorry realy sorry
Me doy cuenta ,que los terremotos de Japón son distinto en movimiento a los de chile en chile son más violentos no puedes estar de pie ni caminar son más destructivos sobre todos en el sur de chile acá en el sur 2010 fue terrorifico el sismo era hacia arriba de costado muy vibratorio y com mucha velocidad destructiva en Japón es más ruido y oscilante yo lo viví en el sur de chile región del biobio 8. Octava rejion parecía a cabo de mundo no paraba nunca los suelos se desformaban.. caía todo hasta los fierros que van por dentro de las estructuras de concreto de casas y edificios se quebraba o cortaban las hondas son más destructivas en chile a los japoneses le crean una cultura errada de expresar emociones lo que con el tiempo no es bueno es peor para su salud aunque estén aterrados tienen que fingir lo encuentro terrible lo digo con causa tengo estudios sicológicos cariños a todos los que excriben🤗😘
I praise the foreign people in this video for behaving rationally. The quake was very unnerving even to us Japanese.
The Japanese people are the warmest, nicest, calmest people ive ever seen in my life
If it was me from argentina i'm sure i will get a collapse mental

Actually filmed this with my Canon 60D. Initially started filming with my cell phone but it lasted so long I had time to pull out a real camera.

The best thing then had turn out that you just escape from Japan from there. The most stupid thing was to stay around Tokyo.

The building are constructed to fit into several big earthquake, and you don't have to worry for those ceiling debris.

この大地震は3つの震源域が連鎖破壊されたことで引き起こされました。最初の大きな揺れは過去に宮城県沖地震を引き起こした震源域が破壊されたことによるもので、2回目の最も大きな揺れは最初の大きな揺れを引き起こした震源域よりも東の震源域が破壊されたことによるもので、3回目の揺れは福島県沖の震源域が破壊されたことによるものでした。そのため、これまでの地震よりも長く激しく揺れ、高層ビルの揺れもなかなか収まりませんでした。
あの日は東京でも立ってられなかった。忘れられない日。
Had your flight been delayed 5 min you would have diverted to another country/island
Yeah!
We Japanese have the best construction engineering in the universe!
Then why did Fukushima nuclear power plant explode?

Weird to see the airport in this state bc I have travelled back-and-forth home a few times as this is my connecting airport....
Too bad for those who were about to fly back to their countries. Their trip back home must have been delayed for several days.
After the first earthquake happened, did all the shops and restaurants in the airport close down?
How far away was this from the tsunami?
It's like they don't even care about it! Compared to the Californians......
Superstar Candy Apparently earthquake safety is taught in all Japanese schools, and one of the main rules is never to panic. It’s just ingrained in Japanese citizens from when they were children. Even though this quake was larger than the others they’ve experienced, the same rules apply.
So you basically just landed, turned around and got the first plane home.
Obviously, you've never been to Southern California. We haven't had anything like this in a long time, but we do have our fair share of earthquakes.
This is earthquake building design at its best, considering it was of 9.0-9.1 magnitude and long lasting. That is an absolutely massive earthquake.
So if this is a drill in Narita International Airport
I can still play my laptop in the building not to duck and cover, still playing, but not cause damage during the alarm or earthquake drill
This is not good.
But I love the sound of the alarm, because it sounds cool.

Wasent awsome seeing the planes? But wat happend int he tsunami situation
Immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake, people living in Tokyo did not know the scale of the damage in the entire Tohoku region until they saw the TV footage, of course.
Many of the people in these images were aware at this point that "the earthquake was longer and bigger than usual," that "trains have been suspended to check for safety and to be cautious of a recurrence of the earthquake, and so people cannot go home," that "Tokyo's electricity and water lifelines have not yet been shut down," and that "Cell phone service is still spotty.“ That was the situation of the people in this video at that time.
Still, everyone was calm, even though they could have been more panicked. Why is that?
The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the Jomon pottery” culture.
The country name word "NIPPON”(Japan) means "the land under the sun" , but another name is "WA" or "YAMATO" , meaning “Peacefully Harmony among People and with Nature”. So, Japan's name means “the Land under the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,”
In this island nation surrounded by the sea on all sides, since ancient times, people have lived peacefully in groups, respecting harmony, and living in harmony with nature and enjoying the blessings of nature. The original country names from ancient times "YAMATO, WA" reflect their wishes and realities.
In public places where everyone gathers, everyone should act in a way that “Do not disturb others.“
If all participants can act in a way that “you do not cause trouble to others," that is, at the same time, it will create an environment in which “No one cause trouble to you”
The same is true if we substitute the phrase "everyone always help others in need.” If everyone does this, it will create a social situation in which "when you are in trouble, someone will help you.”
This is a very rational group wisdom to live in peace with each other.
This is not for the sake of any particular person, but in order to live equally comfortably with each other, the obligation to act for the peace of mind of "all participants with each other" also arises.
Therefore, they believe that the right thing to do in public places is not to bother others, even if there are no garbage cans, to take home garbage that they have soiled themselves and dispose of it on “their own responsibility”, and not to throw garbage away in public places where it will bother others.
This is because they have been taught through their childhood “education” that this is an ancient teaching, a tradition,
and “a natural duty of adults.”
It is a teaching and a rule of life that has been handed down in this island nation since ancient times.
“A peaceful environment can only be built through mutual give and take, each other.”
One for all, all for one, the sprits of OTAGAI-SAMA, TASUKEAI (help each other, everyone)".
”In times of trouble, we are there ,help for each other.”（Komatta Toki ha Otagaisama)
Because of its so long history, the Japanese themselves are unaware that they themselves have an "unknown no-named religion”. However, they have inherited it through the long history of this island nation.
They have lived collectively in their island environment for more than 14,000 years, and this has given them the wisdom of life to survive in that environment, which is condensed in the traditional Japanese teachings.
But the interesting thing about Japanese culture is that this obligation is only for the peaceful life of each other in public places where everyone gathers, and does not regulate individual personal beliefs, hobbies, and preferences, which are the free choice of the individual.
This has not been treated academically yet, but it has been a feature of Japanese culture since ancient times.
That is why so many different cultures have blossomed in each period of Japanese history.
There are two main reasons why Japan, an island nation, has developed its own unique culture.
One is the natural environment of the warm and humid climate volcanic islands.
Surrounded by the sea on four sides, Japan has a warm climate that provides abundant water resources, plants, and food. On the other hand, the warm and humid climate is a favorable environment not only for humans, but also for microorganisms and bacteria, which can easily multiply and cause health problems and epidemics if left in their natural state.
Also, in terms of location and topography, typhoons, windstorms, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., It is an environment that has both a rich natural environment suitable for human life, and a harsh natural environment.
Japanese cleanliness is a necessary behavior to overcome this negative element.
This concrete example, such as daily cleaning and washing, tidying up, and daily bathing habits, and they has done education from an early age because it is a matter of life and death.
This is the reason why the culture has developed a perfectionist behavior and that everything be handled to the last detail in order to eliminate negative environmental elements from thier lives. This is all from the ancient wisdom of life in order to survive in this island environment, unlike life on the continent, where it is dry.
Second, because they are geographically isolated from Eurasia in the Pacific Ocean, they have historically been less vulnerable to invasion from other continental nations and powers, and in fact have not been invaded by other nations, including cultures, until the modern era.
These two factors (an island nation's natural environment and geopolitical isolation) are the reasons why Japan is different from other Asian nations and historically gave birth to a unique Japanese culture.
So once you enter this island, it doesn't matter if you are foreigner or Japanese, “all people are equally” expected to cooperate and contribute their behavior to make life comfortable for each other.
" We act with each other so as not to cause trouble for others."
Because if even “one person stops this”, the comfortable environment “will disappear” in an instant.
Surprisingly, a unique and advanced civic cultural consciousness has existed in Japan since ancient times, don't you think?

いくらパニックだったとは言え「Windowから離れて〜」は無いわ…
なんで？
yes, im in safe place
airport is the safest place to hide in an earthquake!
I think I would've been super-scared.
落ち着くことが1番大切！！
Omgosh i'd be panicking. Thats scary
Admiro la cultura japonesa
Is that was America there would be mass panic and yeehaness. In Japan they are very polite, orderly and apologetic for the earthquake!
If the airport's a'rockin, don't come a'nockin.
I just watched your video like an hour ago and have read this comment.
after going through various airport vids of the 3.11 quake, I came across this one watch?v=CHNGZAE5m0A and it immediately reminded me of your Delta comment
Los maremotos Japón y chile son aterradores dios nos guarde🤗😘
There always so disciplined and polite ! In every other country people would be screaming and plowing threw people to get out of there ! Like in the USA people be like get the fuck out the way nigga ! In the U,K they be like out my WAY WANKER ! In CANADA they be sorry plz plz get out my way im sorry realy sorry
Good find! Proof that United doesn't have their shit together...
No help from United ! You mean an American Corporation didn't care if you lived or died. Who would have thought it!
Wow, no announcement in English😱
When you visit Japan you need to learn the basics, which include emergency announcements. Not every country has to cater to English speaking people.
jesus!
英語で緊急時のアナウンスも出来ない事が本当情けない...
本当に思います。オリンピックが開催されるにあたって今より外国人観光客が増えるのに地震大国である日本が外国人への地震対策が万全ではないなと実感しました。
@@ベリグ-u7o この動画だけで そこまで叩くのはどうかと思います。 海外の方実際どのように思っているかは、分かりませんが…言葉が分からなくても一生懸命外国の方を助けた日本人もいます 感謝してる外国の方もいます。しっかり英語で伝えてほしと思う外国の方もいるでしょう ただどこの国も完璧とは難しい
海外の方への対策は必要はあると思いますけど…言葉はともかく外国の方の対策も考えていると思ってます。 オリンピックに大震災がない事を祈ります いやオリンピックだけでは、なく震災の対策は強化は必要です。でも実際南海トラフにたいして対策を強化してます。どれ程かは、分かりませんが…
That earthquake was the same day as my b-day
Ooh sorry
I would of been piss cus everyone know I love a afternoon meal in this happening why I'm eating,,, pissed
Live it, then come talk to me

Watch your language!
Me doy cuenta ,que los terremotos de Japón son distinto en movimiento a los de chile en chile son más violentos no puedes estar de pie ni caminar son más destructivos sobre todos en el sur de chile acá en el sur 2010 fue terrorifico el sismo era hacia arriba de costado muy vibratorio y com mucha velocidad destructiva en Japón es más ruido y oscilante yo lo viví en el sur de chile región del biobio 8. Octava rejion parecía a cabo de mundo no paraba nunca los suelos se desformaban.. caía todo hasta los fierros que van por dentro de las estructuras de concreto de casas y edificios se quebraba o cortaban las hondas son más destructivas en chile a los japoneses le crean una cultura errada de expresar emociones lo que con el tiempo no es bueno es peor para su salud aunque estén aterrados tienen que fingir lo encuentro terrible lo digo con causa tengo estudios sicológicos cariños a todos los que excriben🤗😘
ウィンドウから離れて。こんな簡単なことも英語で言えない日本人情けない
