Scary vid of the Japanese Tsunami. The change from ok to carnage is just so fast.

Shocking - actually seems fake to me as it is so crazy!

That is an amazing piece of footage from that you can see why so many people perished don't stand much of a chance when the whole world around you is
Moving with some very large debris

Just incredible. I'm a bit surprised you don't see anyone trying to escape though?

It's a tough decision - most people can't keep upright in knee-high fast-flowing water - so do you stay in the car and hope it protects you, or do you get out and try to run faster than the water is approaching? I've seen some other videos that show that very few people managed to out-run it.

I don't know what I would have done in that situation...

I think having the windscreen wipers on was slightly optimistic.....

escape to where? and get your shoes wet?

best bet would be to stay in car and ride it out I reckon.

You're not out-running THAT!
