Tsunami in Kesennuma Bay from Chile,28 February 2010.

This minor event is nothing compared to the overwhelming devastation that struck this same location a little more than one year later. I'm sure most of what's shown in this video was completely wiped out by the Japanese tsunami of March 11, 2011.

i have 2 questions

1 how was the before footage taken and what is with the bubbling in the concrete?

[generalmaximus53]

water coming up under the concrete...its pressurized

[TheTriforcebearer]

@generalmaximus53 just the water is pressurized or is it piping?

[cochranexyz]

This is fascinating, actually. That these surges were expected across the ocean. Glad it wasn't much.

speak english much?

only 10% of the world's sharks are left. Kessenuma was the shark fin capital of Japan. Sharks have got their revenge and a much needed break from Japan. It's Karma at work.

[KingPiccolo001]

@PanzerBlitz43 because sharks collaborated to cause a big tidal wave with their magic tsunami causing powers.

[oxus72]

@PanzerBlitz43 While shark extinction is senseless and cruel you and your likes give the stop movement a bad name. People die and suffer from disasters worldwide, the "karma" hits blindly but mainly along fault lines and in hurricane/drought areas. Fin soup eaters and activists alike; men, women, children and animals are terrorized, cut, crushed, suffocated. The lucky ones are just orphaned or removed from their home and close ones. Save the smugness for when that justice catches up with you.

[PanzerBlitz43]

@oxus72 well I definitely don't approve of that happening either, but without overfishing of the oceans port towns like Kessenuma wouldn't be around to hit by a tsunami. A town in the hills would be untouched.

[oxus72]

@PanzerBlitz43 People don’t usually label things they disapprove of revenge and karma at work. Besides your use, that rhetoric mainly thrives in Pat Robertson’s hallucinations about Haiti’s “pact to the devil”, the dense notion that the New Orleans flood had social rather than hydrological causes etc.

On your elaborated point though, why not hope the 100 or so million Japanese living in coastal urban areas heed your advice in tsunami-morals and relocate to the slopes of Mt Fuji?

[oxus72]

Ominous precursor of what was coming Kesennuma Bay's way just one year later. JUNPEISATO, I sure hope you weren't down by the shore this time around.

This is not a competition of what country got the biggest hit.

I believe this video is to show how impresive are earthquakes (specially that last one in Chile) so that it made the sea in Kesennuma Bay to rise 1.2 mt and move funny, considering they're THOUSANDS of km apart.

Actually in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a family could record their swimming pool as its water started to oscilate in a weird way at 4:33 AM (Argentine time) simultaneously with Chile's earthquake.

Impressive nature.

Gosh that bubbling water looks really scary NOT !!!

[delfincleric8]

In Tirua, south of chile, the waves was of 30 mt.

[goncasworld]

this is not a big tsunami this is so slowly

[sebakyuubi]

@goncasworld tirua 30 meters waves,dichato 15 meters waves,constitucion 20 meters waves.is that enough?
