Imagine being one of those boat captains, seeing the size of that thing then realizing the only possible hope of you and your crew surviving is to charge head on into it. Balls of steel man, massive legends
-
it’s crazy how from far away, the water doesn’t seem to be coming fast but when it comes closer to you you realize how fast the water is rushing in. scary
-
It’s quite wild that one of the safest place during tsunami is actually to be on a boat that is charging straight towards the wave. Props to those boat drivers. Not only they managed to survive, they also avoid becoming another wreckage that will add to destruction of the wave at the further end.

Whoever was in control of that fishing boat deserves a raise.
-
Those 2 boat captains were the bravest ever sailed on the raging tsunami!
-
Bravo to the person recording this. They actually videoed the Tsunami and the ocean. Well done.
-
It was very touching but heartbreaking hearing the people on shore shouting and cheering for the boat to stand firm as the wave came closer and closer and it was becoming very clear how dire the situation was becoming. You could hear how desperately they were all hoping the crew would make it despite knowing there was nothing they could do to help.

久しぶりに東日本大震災関連の動画を見た。 家族で自分だけ生き残ってしまったあの日から、もうすぐ12年が経とうとしている。 愛する家族の仕草や癖、どんどん忘れていくことがたまらなく辛い。 よく今日まで生きてきたなあ自分

I speak a little Japanese so I can help translate: “Oh shit the entire ocean is coming”

Major props to those boats that made it over the waves, holy hell

For those wondering, those wave are massive in size and might be travelling close to 200-300kmph. As the video is recorded from a very high point and a far away, it seems the wave might be hardly moving unless it has approached the point close to the people recording. The point at which the wave was at when the video began was probably around 6-10 miles away from the people recording. That wave travelled 6-10 kms in less than 2 mins. Imagine that.

The fact the tsunami from far away doesn't seem to travel so fast but then it comes in closer.
-
Whats really horrible about this is that that the terror we are feeling watching it on a screen is not even half as bad as the last feeling that around 20,000 people ever felt.
-
1:31 black smoke from that ship . Means the captain said "Full power full speed ahead" ,, wwwoowwww his quick decision saved his boat.

my brother was visiting his son in Japan when the earthquake hit. Like most Americans he didn't speak or understand much Japanese but he knew the word tsunami and hearing it made his blood run cold He followed the people in the streets to a safe place and survived.
-
The amount of force behind those waves is unimaginable. I spent many years on the ocean and its power is second to none. Most people are unable to even conceive of the power that water holds.
-
I'm getting a lot of Tsunami videos in my recommended, I hope This is not a weird sign of something to come.
-
I will never forget watching this live while in college. I skipped my class to keep watching. The footage was unbelievable
-
Tragic that so many lives were lost on that terrible day. The absolute power of nature can be seen in this 2-5min footage. Love and prayers to the great people of Japan ❤️🙏❤️

Hello from Japan. I was on the small ship in this video with my father i had much fear and origami. We had been fishing and we turn around when we heard of tsunami. As wave approach we say we not going to origami down with the ship. We had a miso soup and we go full throttle up the wall of water. My miso nearly tip over. But we survive much terrifying exprerience.
