Top Comments of this video!! :3
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 watch these videos regularly to keep myself grounded. To remind me that whatever problem I have, there are people who are worse off and have bigger problems to deal with. I know the Japanese people are still recovering from this catastrophe and have achieved so much since. My heart, thoughts and respect I send to you all.

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.

One's mind has difficulties processing what the eyes are seeing!
The sheer magnitude of the event is almost beyond comprehension, the once familiar landscape now unrecognisable.
This video serves a very important historical document, recording the unimaginable events of that day, which forever changed the country and its people...
