We've seen a lot of of the tragic Japan , but this clip is the most horrifying yet. Entitled "South Sanriku -- Tsunami seen from Shizugawa High School," it's shot from high ground, but toward the end of the video you can see panicked residents running for their lives.
Almost as dramatic as the video is its audio track, where even if you don't speak Japanese, you can tell the people are expressing concern at the beginning, but by the end, their voices have reached a high level of panic and horror as they watch their homes washing away.
Shortly after the tsunami, one survivor called the oncoming deluge "a gigantic pile of garbage coming down the street." That's an apt description, as you can see an entire town reduced to a huge pile of watery debris in a matter of minutes. Shocking.
i've seen this video before but no matter how many times i watch it - i'm always so shocked by it. i can't imagine how terrifying that must of been to be there. I'm in awe of natures power.
I had not seen this one. At the end, I almost couldn't watch, but found myself saying out loud, "Run!" and praying they got out of there. I could see people, at least some, made it to safety.
Life is short and precious. I hope everyone will look at this and understand that these are people, human beings, just like us. Don't let headlines or videos get you used to this stuff. Hug your loved ones every day, try to be kind, and if you are able to spare something to help others in need out, don't miss that chance.
