    After all these years and all the times I've watched these videos, my heart still races, I still cry, and I just can't wrap my brain around what I am seeing.
    My mother - who was Japanese - always told me, "When you see the ocean retreat, run for the hills or the highest place you can find. A tsunami is coming."
    She lived through so much; as a child running through the streets of Tokyo to get to a bomb shelter, being sent to the countryside to her Uncle's farm to keep from starvation, losing her mother during the war, coming to the States..........
    Despite all the tribulations the Japanese people have gone through, they are resilient, maintaining their grace and move forward.

      I can understand contrasting your life to the one in the video, but I dont think it should make you feel better because your life is less crappy than the ones in the video either. Comparing yourself to someone with less than you or experiencing a more tragic event in there life than you is not something to necessarily hold onto for hope, definitely not a positive foundation to build upon and probably the exact way of thinking that got you into the situation you're in right now.

    I was here in 2011 several months after the tsunami, and I was just floored at the scale of the destruction. Much of what is seen in here was cleared out, but I have photos I took of several buildings (the Shell station near the giant boat in Shiriori, for example, as well as the Coast Guard building) and saw them in the video.
    I’ve never seen any of the footage in here before, and I watched everything I could find - in English AND Japanese. Thanks for putting this together, it’s very impressive.

      What occurred that afternoon was unprecedented, first came the 9+ Richter Scale Earthquake, twelve minutes later a Tsunami of extraordinarily gigantic size and ferocity made landfall, attacking the coastline.
      After which, the Nuclear Power Station at Fukishima experienced a catastrophic failure of its reactor cooling system, leading to a runaway meltdown, which caused the plant's reactors to explode, erupting highly radioactive contamination into the surrounding areas and into the atmosphere.
      As if that was not bad enough, uncontained wildfires broke out in the communities devastated by the Tsunami, with the entire horizon ablaze in many areas, including many vessels.
      The cataclysmic destruction to Japanese coastal communities was unlike anything ever known, with the Tsunami run up reaching 40 metres and at its furthest it inundated to a distance of 9.6 kilometres inland.

    Funny how this came across my feed!! I was there, of course. March 11, 2011. We first responded from Malaysia, and got to Japan (where I lived) in three days. When I saw Kesennuma, fishing port, it was in ruins. One truck was thrown against the back wall like a toy.
    Our craft could now beach where the quaywall used to be 8 feet above sea level. Now it WAS at sea level so we could pick up the engineers and their trucks, which were radioactive.
    We went to Oshima Island to get the residents food, water and get the electricity going. We did this for about two weeks. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen, and the residents were grateful- they had no power for ten days, and it was freezing.
    BTW, that LCU the 1634? I was the craft navigator on that boat. We were embarked on the USS Essex for Spring patrol at the time.
    I can say without a doubt this was the most frightening thing I have ever seen. I left Japan in 2012 after living there twice over a period of six years.

    I wonder if those guys on the two fishing boats survived, probably not judging by the immense power of that water streaming in. It was surreal watching them both try to leave the harbour just as the tsunami started to come in. Were they choosing to ignore the warnings and carry on with their work or were they just trying to save their boats by going out to sea before it arrived, if so they tragically miscalculated how quickly the Tsunami would come.

    Drowning is my worst fear ever since I jumped in an adult pool by mistake as a kid that was extremely deep. The panic I felt realising I was so far down was the worst feeling I’ve felt but luckily a coastguard had seen me and got me out just as I felt seconds away from breathing in water. I feel so bad for all the people who had to deal with this, the fear of seeing the ocean rush at you and your town with such force with absolutely no time to prepare and nothing you can do must be awful. I really hope they have managed to rebuild and recover best they could. I’ve just seen the date on my phone. 11 of March that’s eerie , 12 years ago today this happened. Pray🙏🏻 ❤💜❤️✌🏻

    We think that these towns were rebuilt and life carries on but it's not like a replica of each town was reconstructed - that would be both impractical and impossible. How strange it must feel if 50% or more of the town you grew up in was destroyed and replaced by new buildings, so that within a short time, a whole new town appeared and only the mountains surrounding you were familiar.
    Maybe the main roads stayed the same, but the skyline, the buildings, shops and parks must have been altered greatly. The shortcuts and alleyways you knew, maybe your neighbours, the woods, all gone and replaced. The memory of the town you remember mixed with the image of the town you now see - it's hard to imagine how that must feel
