Japanese Tsunami

We have all seen the newscast and the world-wide reporting on this tsunami  ----  magnitude  and amount of damage.

 

After the dust cloud  from the Tsunami and  the exploding electrical transformers , then the magnitude of this starts to hit  you.

When you  realize these unsuspecting people living on a mountain top felt that they were  safe and out of harms way.  Think about their elevation when you see the houses & factory's below - accelerate up the hill. I personally think they never ever considered it coming up that high.

 

You will hear them speaking in calm tones of amazement much like spectators at a fireworks display.   However, I wish I could understand Japanese, because there is a noticeable change in their voices & tone as the speed and height and amount of debris kept coming like a freight train. Directly toward their mountain top observation point.

 

When you see the people below them running up the hill, then attempting to save the last few precious possessions, but to be overcome and  consumed in the river of rubble.
