With this video, we’re launching our new series dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the tsunami in Japan. In this video, we map the Miyako area, which has been hit very hard. We will show, for example, what the cities of Taro and Yamada look like today, how the restoration of the area continues and other interesting curiosities. The video has a purely educational and informative character and you will not find the purposefully depicted destruction in it. Thank you for watching, like and subscribing.

japan is a beautiful country.
I’m a new subscriber and have gone through watching the series on what has been accomplished in the ten years after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. They were all very interesting. Incredibly strong people rising above such devastation and tragedies of losing neighbors and love ones is so inspiring. Thank you for the work you put into making these. I appreciate it very much.
I think what we all need to keep in mind if that sea levels are rising even if you build a higher tsunami wall there's no guarantee because it may take a while before something ever happens again thank God but that means the new wall may not be tall enough
I hate to say it but it just seems like something else is about to let go somewhere in the WORLD, AND IM NOT ALONE THINKING THIS…….
NOW ONE OF THE CANARY ISLANDS HAD LIKE 60 EARTH QUAKES IM A DAY OR TWO…..
The moral of the story? Build on high ground.
This video inspired me to look at some areas and chikei fishing port still had water from this tsunami in November of 2011
They have one job to do and what do they do? Build tiny walls that won’t do anything
To je čech jak brno 🙂
For those who don't know meters (40 meters is 131 ft.
The tsunami walls are about 10 meters high, they'd have to make walls as high as 50 meters + 🥺
But despite that, the walls actually slowed the tsunami waves down incredibly.
Rest In Peace and my condolences to those who lost someone and what they had. 🥺🥺
4:11 you can see that the small wall meant to protect was even damaged severely, idk if they'll ever rebuild it, seems kinda pointless now..
You deserve to have millions of views on videos like this. Thank you
This is a great video. I am a big fan of Top Topics. You always produce very instructional videos and I always learn a lot. I was wondering what the cities and towns hit by the super tsunami of 2011 look like today. Now, because of your excellent videos, I know.
Keep up the good work. I will keep watching. Thank you!
The only saving grace was that both the Japanese tsunami & Indonesian were not at night! Can you imagine the terror of all that while sleeping in your bed……SCARY!
Tsunami=Pedo Flush!
Well done. Thank you.
Do it same with Indian ocean tsunami then and now
DAMN… 10 years already 😰
Time sure flies after cataclysmic disasters😰
Still feel horrible for the People of Japan, my condolences to the Survivors of the tsunami, here from the U.S.
😭😭
Nice video. Teach the people the English launguage so the next tsunami they can speak English as to why they rebuilt in a tsunami flood zone, Ty
Nothing is forever. People seemingly forget that.
How you layer the two views at 1:28 made realize that I was wrong in thinking it was a big wave. Nope… It was abso-fu¢king-lutely enormous! Holy shyt man.
prayers for japan and her people. for healing and comfort
That’s horrifying! Wow!
I would like to watch,,but the stupid flashing fuzzy graphics hurt the eye and insult the brain,,,
The waves are not 40 fucking meters it’s such a widespread lie. The tide washed up to 40 meters you make people think there was a fuckin 100 foot wave or sum shit
I feel dizzy watching your video

اوكل الله جل في علاه بكل شئ ملكا :
فهناك ملك الجبال وملك البحار وملك السحاب وملك الرياح وباستطاعته ان يامرها بما يريد
ان زلزلوا او احرقوا او دمروا او حطموا او اغرقوا
فينتقم الله ممن يشاء ولا يستطيع اي مخلوق في هذا الكون منع قضاءه جل وعلا
ويقال ان صوت الرعد حسبما ورد في الاثر
انه صوت الملك الذي يزجر به السحاب ويسوقه حيث يشاء بامر الله عز وجل … والله اعلم
قال تعالى ( وما تاتيهم من آية من آيات ربهم الا كانوا عنها معرضين )
وقال تعالى ( فأرسلنا عليهم الطوفان والجراد والقمل والضفادع والدم … )
وقال تعالى ( وان يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا سحاب مركوم )
وقال تعالى ( فلما راوه عارضا مستقبل اوديتهم قالوا هذا عارض ممطرنا بل هو مااستعجلتم به ريح فيها عذاب اليم )
وقال تعالى ( ولو شئنا لرفعناه بها ولكنه أخلد إلى الأرض واتبع هواه فمثله كمثل الكلب إن تحمل عليه يلهث أو تتركه يلهث ذلك مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا فاقصص القصص لعلهم يتفكرون )
وقال تعالى ( مثل الذين حملوا التوراة ثم لم يحملوها كمثل الحمار يحمل اسفارا بئس
مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآيات الله والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين )
وقال تعالى ( قل ياأهل الكتاب لستم على شيء حتى تقيموا التوراة والإنجيل وما أنزل إليكم من ربكم وليزيدن كثيرا منهم ما أنزل إليك من ربك طغيانا وكفرا فلا تأس على القوم الكافرين )
يَـأَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيراً مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَعْفُواْ عَن كَثِيرٍ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ مِّنَ اللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُّبِينٌ* يَهْدِي بِهِ اللَّهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلامِ وَيُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنِ
الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى صِراطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
وهذا ما سيحدث لامريكا كثيرا وستدفع الثمن باهضا
كل شئ انتهى ولا يستطيعون فعل اي شئ
اللهم عليك بهم فانهم لا يعجزونك
حقيقة اعصار التورنادوا :
هو في الاساس رباني ومن غضب الله الجبار
ومن شدته انه اذا مر على نهر شقه نصفين ورفع قاعه الطيني وذر ترابه في الهواء
وكذلك يقتلع البنايات والبيوت والاشجار ومن ثم رميها في مكان بعيد مهما كانت ثقيلة وعظيمة
ويحمل الجسور والقناطر والخزانات الكبيرة ويدور بها وكانها عود ثقاب ويلفها كالمروحة من شدة قوته العنيفة
ويحمل معه الحيوان والانسان الى عنان السماء ثم يلفظه خارج الغلاف الجوي او الكرة الارضية وكانها عملية تفريغ اي شفط نحو الفضاء الخارجي
مما يتسبب بخسائر مادية جسيمة وهائلة تقدر بتريليونات الدولارات
وهذا غيظ من فيض وهذا بعض ما يجري في امريكا
ان الذين كذبوا باياتنا واستكبروا عنها لا تفتح لهم ابواب السماء ولا يدخلون الجنة حتى يلج الجمل في سم الخياط …
Get Trump to come down there and build those seawalls.. everybody knows how good he is at building walls.
The blurry and beepy visual effects are irritating.
Too hard to watch through bouncing images and complex film effects.
Dude learn how to spell right
I pray for the recovery to continue here. The Japanese people are so brave and strong. They give me hope for the human race.
In minute 1.47 is of the left side a grey Building. This is the Gym from the School and unfortunaltely the are childrens in there.
I really, really wish you would stop using the stuttering camera effects. It takes away from your content immensely.

** long post, but pls read, and provide some feedback, thanks***
Can someone please answer this question? While looking at all the horrific footage of that horrible day, when the water hits all the homes, it’s as if they weren’t even attached to the ground at all, because they all just floated away with seemingly very little effort. I don’t know anything about Japanese construction standards, but are the homes not attached to their foundations? Normally here, at least in Toronto, and most of North America, all of our homes have solid reinforced concrete foundations, and the homes are bolted to the concrete foundation, not to mention most of our homes are made of brick, and can withstand many of nature‘s forces. What are the standard Japanese homes made from, and how are they made? Do they have basements and concrete foundations? I know that in classical Japanese architecture, it entails very finally and beautifully crafted woodwork, a lot of which fits together without the use of any nails or screws, and the roofs are the heaviest part of the home, being made of hundreds of clay tiles. I know that because a dear friend of mine grew up in a classical Japanese home in a small fishing village. When the earthquake hit that day before they tsunami, he was talking on the phone to his mother, the earthquake caused the entire home to collapse, according to him, the roof and the weight of the tiles crashed through the ceiling and crashed his entire family to death. Sadly they died before the tsunami even hit. The last thing he heard from his mother was screaming from absolute terror and panic as the earthquake begin tearing the home apart. The very last thing she told my friend was that she was so sorry that they couldn’t ever be together ever again, but told him to never stop living because she was about to die. Then, he said the line just went dead, and no matter how many times he tried to call, either his family or all of his relatives, all the phone lines were dead because of the earthquake and the following tsunami. He was only a young man at that time. At 22 years old, he was a gifted and very talented doctor. I met him at the hospital where I work, we were colleagues. He was the youngest doctor in the entire hospital, because he was gifted, he had skipped many grades and graduated from medical school at age 21. He knew he always wanted to work abroad, and took a job offer here in Toronto, a decision that he deeply regrets, because it wasn’t just his mother that died, his father and his three younger siblings, Who were only 10, 12, and 14 at the time of the disaster, were all at home and were all killed instantly as the roof collapsed and caved in on them. He had absolutely no idea what was going on, or why his mother was screaming and saying goodbye, because she didn’t tell him there was an earthquake happening, she just started to scream, and told him how sorry she was that they weren’t all together, because she knew how much pain he was going to be suffering all by himself, as his entire family and all of his relatives were killed almost instantly, if not by the earthquake, then by then ensuing tsunami. As I said, they all lived in a small fishing village right on the water, it was over a kilometre away from higher ground, and they just didn’t have the time, at least those that survived the earthquake, to get up high enough, because there was far too much debris blocking all the roads, which were the only route of escape to higher ground, resulting in all 22 members of his family being killed within a half an hour. It took him over two months to finally discover what had happened, and how each person had passed away. As you would expect, he was inconsolable, it absolutely destroyed his life, and unfortunately, I was standing right next to him when he was talking to his mother on the phone on his lunch break. I’ll never forget that day as long as I live, even though I wish I could. I had to help him to the ground because he couldn’t stand up, he literally fell to pieces, both physically and mentally, who wouldn’t? I rushed him downstairs to the ER, and it took the poor guy weeks of therapy and medication just to start accepting what had happened. Amazingly enough, after only six months he came back to work, but he’s never been the same since. He is the main reason why I ask about the architecture, because he is so angry that it was his very own childhood home was the direct cause of his parents and siblings death, despite the fact that he begged them to move to a newer home countless times before he left for Canada, because apparently the Japanese government new that a quick like this, at 9.1 on the Richter scale, what happened within about a year or two, and sadly they were very accurate. Unfortunately his parents refused to leave the home that’s been in the family for almost 8 generations, and move to a newer safer and stronger home, a few kilometres away on much higher ground. Even to this day he always blames himself for all of their deaths. He constantly says that it’s his fault for not being more forceful and getting them to move out of the house. No matter what I, or any other person says, nothing will ever take away the pain, and the guilt, that doesn’t even belong to him, he struggles with every day of his life. I am happy to say though, he has since recently gotten married, and now is the father of two beautiful children, yet the events of that day will haunt him for the rest of his life, and sadly, it was this very tragedy that introduced him to his wife, whom he met in a chat room, for people that were desperately looking for their relatives in Japan that were lost that day. They both carry enormous amounts of pain with them, it’s almost palpable, when you first meet them. It’s strange how tragedy can sometimes bring out the best in people, because they promise each other they would never stop living even though both of their families were completely destroyed by that tragedy. I’m sorry for rambling on, but it’s just such a powerful emotion and memory, but I can’t just forget about it, though I never met the man’s family, I became so attached to him as a friend, I feel as though it were my family was killed, and I’ve spent more time than I care to admit, crying myself to sleep night after night, after feeling his pain. Naturally he immediately flew home as soon as the Japanese government allowed flights to come in. It took a long time because most of the airports and roads were damaged beyond repair. I don’t know the names of the villages and cities, but I know that when he landed, the closest airport that was still operating was over 900 km from his town. It took him four days to finally reach the village, and when he got there he said he could not believe what he was saying. He said it was like a horrible horrible nightmare, because everything he knew, everything that was comfortable, familiar, and loving, was just gone, completely erased off the face of the earth, with nothing but piles of smouldering debris left in it’s place. The police were very strict and would not allow him to search through the rubble, as he desperately tried looking for anything from his family‘s home, and he was forced to go back to the closest area not affected by the tsunami, where he found a place to stay. Eventually, a few days afterwards, they begin allowing family members back to the village to see if they could find anything in the wreckage that they could salvage as a reminder of their families. Thank God he was able to at least retrieve a couple of photo albums that belong to his parents, along with several documents, and items of clothing and other personal effects. It was really a miracle he was able to find anything, because most debris was simply pulled back out into the ocean as the tsunami receded, but an old iron fence head start a small amounts of debris from going back into the ocean, that’s where he found the personal effects of his family. He had every photo professionally redone, then re-printed, and put on a memory stick, so that they will never be lost, as he keeps them in his safety deposit box at his bank. Everyone tries to MoveOn from tragedy the best that they can, it’s still devastates me to this day knowing what he lost, but I’m so thankful that he could at least find some small, tangible remnant, that he could take back home with him, and keep with him forever to help him feel more connected to everybody that he lost that day. Anyways my friends, I have to stop talking, because it’s just too hard and too upsetting to continue. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, my most sincere and deepest sympathies to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy, and God bless.😰😰😰❤️❤️❤️
