That is some awesome footage I had not seen before.  Very devastating.

The most unbelievable thing I have ever seen. 

You sit there and watch the cars and boats and houses being tossed about like toys and you realize that inside people are desperately fighting for the last seconds of their lives.

Amazing.  Thanks for sharing this Paul.

I had watched those videos before.  Every time my heart aches for the Japanese people.  It amazes me that when Haiti had an earthquake last year or so every body and their brother was trying to get money to help, but it seems that no one is asking to help the Japanese people with this disaster.  Are we still ticked off over the Pearl Harbor attach?  I hope not, that was almost 70 years ago. 

We were at the Pearl Harbor Memorial several years ago and I was touched by the number of Japanese people that went to the memorial service, took off their hats, bowed their heads, and cried actual tears.

I am an ex airedale squid. For those that don't know-a sailor that served on an aircraft carrier-USS Yorktown CVS-10.  Reason i bring this up-been in a couple of storms at sea. The york boat wasn't quite 900 feet long-but it had 2 hinges (for lack of a better description ) built into it. It would flex. I remember vividly standing on the stern-back- of the flight deck and one time i'm looking into a valley come to the next wave i'm looking at a hill and can't see the front-bow-of the ship. Point beinwater and wind are extremely powerfull elements that will take the best man can build-and tear it asunder without a hi hello or get (well you know-starts with an f ). Just like the old saying goes-you don't wanna piss off mother nature. Grin RIDE SAFE.

Those scenes are beyond the imagination of movie screenwriters.  What horror!
