Here are some youtube video clips that shows how Tsunami is dangerous.
You may think you can swim. But it's impossible because Tsunami includes many debris in it. Tsunami is dangeraous when it comes. But also dangerous when tide is retrieving. Many were involved in this drawing tide and found dead. I collected to clips that shows how people behaved when hit by Tsunami. What I want to say is DON'T underestimate Tsunami. It may take 5 min until big Tsunami arrives. RUN as soon as pssible when you notice Tsunami is coming. Don't be bothered by anything such as 'Oh, I need to bring this out, I need to bring this deed to prpoperty'. One minute really change the life.
**Kesen numa, Miyagi Pref.
At the beginning, a woman says 'Is this nightmare? Is this nightmare? What's this? What's this?' The video shooter worries about his friend, 'Pon chan is OK? Pon chan was in his house. He might not know Tsunami was coming.' I hope Pon Chan is safe.
**Oirase,Aomori Pref.
At the biginning, it seems that seawall is working well, and prevented the wave going into the town. And the very beginning, you'll see the bottom of the creak.
That is called Drawn Tide. The larger the drawn tide is, the bigger the Tsunami is.
**Kamaishi,Iwate Pref.
It seems PA system worked well. Probably, many people's lives were saved.
**Minami-Sanrikucho, Miyagi
They are people shouting from the hill, 'Hurry, Hurry, Run,Run Run away.'
But people at below don't know from where and how near the Tsunami is coming .
The difference between those people is just 5 min. When you hear the alert from PA, whether you could jump out of the house and run toward hill top without bringing anything or not had changed the destination. Left bottom of the screen shows people who tried to help a person in wheel chair. There were people coming down from the hill to save the person. But they all were brought away. I have no word to say.
**How TV Reporter escaped from Tsunami
This reporter had experienced to do interviews with the people who experienced Tsunami before. So he knew how dangerous the Tsunami is.
At the beginning, he got a call and was informed Tsunami was coming 6 min. later.
And he saw drain and bottom of the river, and realised Tsunami was going to be a huge one. So, he decided to run away. (This area was where 300 dead were found.)
While he was on a Taxi, he saw Tsunami was coming to the seawall. He was told by Tsunami victims that you are not supposed to see the seawater. So, when the car was struck in the middle of the traffic jam, Luckily, in order to shoot the video, he kept the car window opened. And realised people were shouting 'Tsunami is there. Tsunami is there.', he gave up running away by car.
So, he decided to go into the building. In the full version of the video being broadcasted on TV, he said he wanted to evacuate into the building which is standing across the road, and was looked like much stronger. When he saw seawater passed him under his shoes, he picked the nearest building. When he was at a gate, you see seawater is just arriving to his foot. But he though 'Oh, I am going to die, because seawater catches me up.' Until he started to clime the stairs, it DIDN'T take ONE MIN. But you realise how quickly the amount of the seawater had changed. He kept saying to the evacuees in the building, 'Go on top of the building, or as much higher place as possible. hurry, hurry.' It used to be said that you would be safe when you were in 3rd floor, But this time was different.
At the end of the clip, you'll see some people helping other people who could not go into the building. Luckily, there were three ex-fire fighters. So, they could help a woman, a mam, and one family with kids.
He answered in the interview that still there were more many people calling a help near from the building, but we couldn't help them.
Among every those video, you'll realise PA system is announcing that Tsunami is coming and call a quick evacuation. Every towns along with the seacoast had this PA system. But victims with this tragedy may reach more than 20,000.
