i'm Japanese. I really think it was underestimated at the time. The Japanese people finally learned after that earthquake and tsunami. Just a few days ago, there was a Japanese Earthquake level 7(level 1: weak to level 7: devastation) earthquake and a 4.2 meter tsunami, Compared to that time, the Japanese people's awareness of the dangers is incomparably different.
To think that this was the strongest earthquake since the 60's, it really puts into perspective just how insane this one was. A once in a hundred year cataclysm, I'd say
this is genuinely so anxious to watch, seeing how the intensity scale increasing over and over, the deadly tsunami about to strike and pointing the fukushima accident on the map. this video is amazing and scary simultanously
Great work on this video! It was a disasterous earthquake for Japan, and this also reminds me of my mind when it forgets something important on a test. Good stuff!!
Great job! There are still many earthquakes videos that you can do the remastered version video, include: M 9.1 Nankai Megathrust Earthquake (add the Shindo Scale); 1700 Cascasdia Earthquake (add the Shindo scale), 1960 Chile Earthquake (M 9.5, add the Shindo scale), 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake (M 6.9~7.3, add the shindo scale), 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Foreshock and Mainshock (M 6.2~6.5 and M 7.0~7.3, add the shindo scale); 2008 Sichuan Earthquake (M 7.9~8.0, use the shake map from China Earthquake Network Center for more details and accuracy), and so on. Best wishes.
Really shows how much this earthquake caught Japan off guard, the EEW only highlighted the prefectures in the Tohoku region, expecting it to be a big, but just a localised earthquake, meanwhile the tremors reached all the way and hit Tokyo hard. Keep in mind that, ppl in Tokyo probably didn't get any EEW unless they were watching NHK, since in other channels they only display warnings if it affects your prefecture.
I bet the locals thought it was a normal large earthquake in Sendai until it went shindo 6 upper, and it kept going until that shindo 7 hit, looking at the footage it really shook them up. I can imagine they were begging for the quake to end as it seemed to never end
At first, earthquake early warnings cannot correction. Earthquake early warning issued at 5 prefectures. Earthquake early warning issues if each place's expected intensity is V/4 or more higher. However,for example,Ibaraki prefecture was 6+/IX, but ibaraki prefecture was not issued earthquake early warning. At result, the number of dead increased in Ibaraki prefecture. So JMA modified be able to earthquake early warnings can correction and change earthquake early warning's area later. At 2022/3/16Fukushima earthquake (M7.3,depth57km),earthquake early warning's area changed for 4 times. If magnitude is grater then 7.0,fault moving will not finish in short time. So earthquake early warnings MUST change it's area.
Yes, I am agree, this is also the same case for the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake (M 7.9~8.0). If the earthquake has magnitude greater than M 7.0, like those M 8-ish, M 9-ish, the fault moving will not finish in a short time; so at first the prediction magnitude is lower and the area is smaller, then later the prediction magnitude is increases and the area is expanding; therefore, earthquake early warnings MUST change it's magnitude and affected area.

Look up Lissabon earthquake in the 1700s. Everybody died, so much so, that we didn't know before the Tohoku earthquake, that there was a tsunami in Lissabon too. People only saw the fire. After 2011, scientists have begun to look for signs of tsunami and found a ship in the middle of Lissabon at the right depth.
Most likely, this could have been even worse, as mt fuji could have erupted due to the seismic activity. That would have, combined with the earthquake, made a dust cloud cover Tokyo, delaying critical emergency services by possibly hours at most. “Live from Tokyo before the feed was interrupted by the ash cloud you can see alongside the shaking, the ash cloud, rolling down Mount Fuji right into the heart of Tokyo.” “The ash cloud covered the windows with dust, and combined with the shaking, it just made it worse.” “The ash cloud caused the Toyosu Natural Gas Plant, built, operated and maintained by TEPCO, to explode before starting fires due to the increased friction from the dust. TEPCO denies any responsibility of negligence due to both Fukushima and Toyosu Disasters, stating the magnitude 9.1 earthquake, and tsunami, alongside the eruption resulting from the shaking, was unpredictable, and that it would have taken a long time to fix the issues. TEPCO is still facing legal charges from victims of the two disasters.”
Japanese Faults Have Intensities That Are Limited To Shindo 7, Meaning Mercalli 10. There Is No XI or XII in Japanese Faulting. Japan's Intensity Scale Is Limited To X.
For this 2011 Tohoku, Japan Earthquake (M 9.0~9.1), actually this earthquake has maximum intensity of MMI IX, or MMI X at most for rough estimate, and Shindo 7 based on JMA; it is impossible to be MMI XI-XII, the shaking and the damages caused by the shaking does not like that. Also, since this earthquake has very large magnitude, the shaking time and the high-itensity areas affected is very large, this is how a M 9-ish earthquake to be different from a M 7-ish or M 8-ish earthquake.
Bro you must been issued earthquake early warning for tochigi, ibaraki , chiba, saitama, Niigata, kamagawa and Shizuoka cuz there was also an shaking in those regions during the earthquake
I think Japan categorizes major Tsunami as over 3 meters while I use 5 meters as my bench mark for all my other videos so I had to adjust it a bit for the sake of consistency.

It's deeply saddening to see how badly underestimated the tsunami was.

It wasn't underestimated. Japan is, by FAR, the most prepared for tsunami country out of any country in the world. It was just THAT big.

Be careful:Tochigi prefecture's intensity X/7 is NIED's measurement NOT JMA's
I am agree; based on JMA, Tochigi prefecture intensity is IX/6+.
I like the Geiger counter clicking for a damaged nuclear power plant
Edit: I thought the areas under EEW would be extended more than 6 prefectures
I'm just following what they showed in the TV's Earthquake early warning. Though yes the system did greatly underestimate the size of the quake.
In the recent Noto earthquake I beleive the warning on screen did "expand" as it's severity became clear.
