Witness some of the scariest, most horrifying, and dramatic footage of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit the region of Tohoku, Japan. Taken together, the March 2011 Japanese tsunami and earthquake was one of the most horrific natural disasters - and the costliest natural disaster so far - in human history. In Japan, the tsunami, earthquake and their effects are often referred to as 3-11-2011, 3-11, or March 11. This video features two angles of scary earthquake footage and three angles of scary tsunami footage from the March 11 2011 disaster, including swaying buildings in Tokyo, tsunami impact in Kesennuma, Japanese Coast Guard footage of the tsunami at sea, and tsunami landfall in Oirase.

What you're seeing with high rise buildings gently swaying like palm trees during a mag 9.1 quake is nothing short of a marvel of Japanese structural engineering 👌🏻 Good video btw.

저들의 조상들이 이웃나라들을 침략하여
얼마나 많은 인명을 살상하고 물자를 침탈하고 피해를 입혔을까?
주변국들은 엄청난 피해를 입었다.
전범국으로써 피해국에 사과도 없고 반성도 없이 되래 적반하장으로 망언과 온갖 도발을 하고 있다.
신께서 일본의 이런행태를 더이상 두고볼수 없어 경고를 하였으니,
앞으로도 주변국에 오만방자한 태도로 일관 한다면 더 큰 재앙으로 벌을 내리겠다는 경고이다.

The swaying buildings are unbelievable. Japanese structural engineering at its finest! World class!

[rodd]

Watched a lot of these and it still way beyond words.

[residualkarma]

Truely a natural disaster of gigantic proportions. 😔

[manda]

Regulations matter. Japanese buildings withstand a 9.1 (The tsunami did the damage to Japan, not the quake)

[wrmlm]

No power, no food, nowhere to go. I cannot get over the scale of this horror. Those poor peopĺe...

[fatalquasar]

Mother nature doing what comes natural

[tomtalker]

Don't EVER underestimate the power of water folks. It will get you EVERY single time...!!!

[Shogun]

Now imagine this going on World Wide.
Every Coastal City, Every Island.
With Earthquakes everywhere, volcanoes, Yellowstone all in one week.
Tick Tick Tick

One thing to note is the EQ had two stages to it. The initial shake was rather pronounced but it began to taper off after a minute or two, but it was not stopping. It was, instead, putting in the clutch and going for the next gear. This second stage was, by far, more violent than the first. the entire quake lasted just under six minutes.

[RoseHendricks-yk]

This is the best video I've seen of that horrible tsunami absolutely terrifying 😢😢

[hebneh]

Japan was / is the best-equipped nation and culture in the world to cope with a disaster like this...its warning systems, the awareness and experience of the population, and its high standard of construction and protections...but even with all that, 20, 000 people were still killed.

After 12years, I still can’t get enough of these terrifying images to watch. May they R.I.P!

[zal]

my grandpa was in WW2 and when this happened he went to chruch that next sunday i visisted him at my grandmas house he told me "the pastor told us the pray for the poeple of japan, but they bombed my ship, he was a boilerman on an aircraft Carrier that got hit by a kamakazi bomber that caught his ship on fire, i felt bad but it was hard not chuckling for a moment after what he said.

[garylawrence]

I have watched dozens of these videos and the one thing that astounds me the most is the force it took to displace so much water all at once over such a wide area. Just unbelievable!

[humboldtharry]

8:30 Check out the water in this wave. It looks like it’s boiling.

[lulu]

The buildings are supposed to sway. That's not to say it wasn't the most powerful earthquake or anything. It's to say that building tech is incredible and those building did what they're supposed to do.

This scares me to death… I live in a small coastal community along the NE coast of MA… I could only imagine this happening in dead of winter when the ocean is 33F and the air is 25F….
