TSUNAMI in Japan 2011 9th Anniversary – Complete Edition

Spread The Viralist



In the next video we will commemorate the 9th anniversary of the Japanese tsunami in 2011. The earthquake of 8.9 magnitudo at that time picked up the 40m high tsunami waves that devastated the east coast of Japan. What does Japan look like today, how does it deal with the consequences? Everything in the video. The video has a purely educational and informative character. It is not intended to shock and therefore does not depict explicit and specific shots of destruction. Illustrative accompanying pictures only.

  1. The reactors at Fukushima survived the tsunami in their containment buildings, but the General Electric original design did not provide tsunami protection for the backup generators that run cooling pumps for the reactors when shut down, resulting in melt downs.

  2. I have studied this one and the “boxing” day tsunami till I lose sleep. If you search YT their are a lot of good videos of both disasters

  3. The Japanese are a classic definition of resilience. Like millions of those who witnessed this colossal event I was immeasurably overwhelmed. One question I kept asking myself was "Where do you start with the recovery?"

  4. 日本での用いられ方からアニバーサリーという単語は不適切のように感じるかも知れないけど、海外では命日もDEATH anniversaryと書かれるからこのタイトルに悪意は無いよ、と見に来た日本人向けにコメント置いとく

  5. This is a true work of art and a loving tribute to those who died and those left homeless. Sending blessings from America.

  6. Over the years, I have watched almost every video on this tsunami and the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 and it still makes my hairs stand up. The power, size and scale of devastation of these tsunamis is mind boggling and inconceivable. It’s things like this that make me wish I was Superman or Aquaman.

  7. I know it's only been 9 years and I know the dates of major events like these are usually commemorated in decades but this is one of those that has to be commemorated EVERY year.
    4:47 – Wow, I didn't know the only 2 non-asian languages in those info boards were English and Portuguese!

  8. First video I've seen that includes samples of the recovery. YES !
    How very different the fortitude is of different cultures. Sorrow will never heal but optimism will dull the pain. Go Japan!

  9. Obrigada pelo documentario de aniversario 9 anos do tsunami ! Muito triste e nao cansamos de nos emocionar com tragedia, mesmo estando no Japao na parte sul eh doloroso e lagrimas correm pelos nossos rostos!

  10. 津波は防波堤を乗り越えるとダムの放流になり、街並みは破壊される。
    松並木が海岸にあるが、確かに津波の勢いを止める役にたつ。しかし海岸は浅瀬になるから、太平洋の海が次々と押し寄せる津波は、浅瀬に達すると、さらに高さを増すことになる。
    要するに、バカでかい防波堤や松並木が街を護るとはいえない。
    街自体を堤防の高さに合わせる必要があるのだ。

    これは河川の堤防でも同じだ。一旦堤防を乗り越えた水は勢いを増す。
    また、河川の風が街に流入しないから、夏はさらに熱くなります。

    NHKスペシャル40メートルの津波防波堤が射流を発生させる。
    射流とはダムの放流みたいに破壊的。
