  • u can know if the tsunami is coming

    animals sense angers

  • how can water damage house and building?

  • @momojai2000

    I take it you've never been taken out by a wave at the beach?

  • it must be horrible to be filming the tsunami carrying away people, knowing that you can do nothing to help them... R.I.P

  • I wonder what the hell was going through the head of that guy lying on the beach as he suddenly realizes that this wave is bigger than he expected at 1:43?

  • OMG !!

  • More than 200,000 people died. Nobody from National Geographic died however. They didn't help each other either.

  • When i heard about this , i was totally shocked and my heart dropped .

  • now i am worried about my uncle hes in the navy annd im very scared if he gets caught in a tsunami

  • R.I.P 200,000 people who died

  • im just wondering how the fuck they got underwater fotage of that

  • @DepressingPain uhm i think those were regular waves lol..

  • Ahhhhh water it can heal and destroy

  • X_X Im Dead!!!

  • 1:50 look at the date at the bottom left corner, 1 day after christmas. How more sad could it get?

    Thumbs up if you think these phenomenons are appalling to think about and how they affect people.

  • @lgaganminaj I dont think ppl in Asia celebrate X-mas

  • 2:04 it's a little kid :/

  • wait is it killer... Tsunamis or killer tsunamis? or both?

  • poor human..

  • @jazzfluitist man dont share wrong information and spam..my friend is in tokyo right now and he is telling me everything is allright..asshole...

  • @ashadds : I'm talking with several people in Tokyo right now too. I've been following the readings every day for the last 3 months. I know what's safe, and what isn't. No level of radiation is safe. Also, those readings don't include bioaccumulation. Nor do they include the average 10 hot particles a day you're getting.

  • Tokyo is uninhabitable right now:

    6.46 µSv/hour recorded in Tokyo recently. That's 56.62 mSv/year compared to 1 mSv/year for the safe limit.

  • @jazzflutist Same here. I am in Tokyo right now and everything is alright. Check that your information is correct before posting stuff like this.

  • @LadyArtemis112 : The information is correct. You can check all the detailed reports and readings over at enenews--dot---com if you don't believe me. The "10 hot particles a day" figure comes from Fairewinds--dot---com. Check the community crowd-sourced geiger readings at japan---dot---failedrobot---do­t---com. Most people in Japan don't know what is going on----very tight information control, according to comments from people living in Japan as posted on the above site, and news articles.

  • The actual readings are low right now in Tokyo in some places, but higher in others, and especially when it rains. When the winds turn south (round about now) Tokyo will get a lot more radiation from the continually-spewing reactors (remember 3 are in melt-through). Soil, fish, water, tea, milk and soon rice are already contaminated. (The water has Cesium in it). So, live in Tokyo by all means, but what do you eat or drink?

  • whycould be youhavea pritite video

  • אין עוד מלבדו

  • The power of nature is awesome!

  • R.I.P to the guy at 1:43

  • Not to be an asshole or anything but i think i'm good here in Cali

  • @cein81 right... because California is nowhere near a fault

  • @cein81 YEAH I WISH

  • lmao at 1:32 ge in ge in

  • OMFG. 1:46 Poor person. Stop arguing about what tsunami means in Japanese and be sorry for the people that have died in a tsunami wow ffs

  • Tsunami is a Japanese word with the English translation, "harbor wave."

  • scary.. we must always ready in every time, and anywhere we are..

  • look's like a WHIPE

  • "... preventing a similar tragedy in happening in united states..." ... oh yeh forget about other countries... selfish much

  • my advice is to start building on higher ground

  • @DjGisME what about the earth quake?

  • Tsunami means "tidal wave" not "harbor wave"

  • @hungariankid

    There is actually quite a big difference between a

    Tsunami and a tidal wave. Caused by complete different things. I would attempt to explain it to you,

    but you probably wouldn't understand. And yes Tsunami does mean harbor wave.

  • @hungariankid It depends on what you mean by 'means'. The literal translation of 'tsunami' is 'harbour wave', the 'tsu' meaning 'harbour' and the 'nami', meaning 'wave'. As words rarely translate directly from one language to another in this literal way you are right that the English phrase 'tidal wave' is best understood in Japanes by the word 'tsunami'. However as letputasmileonthat says 'tidal waves' (tidal bores) are different from tsunamis. Hope that helps.

  • @hungariankid Strange because Tsunamis have absolutely NOTHING to do with tides. They r caused by undersea earthquakes not tidal changes -_-

  • Tsunami means "tidal wave" not "harbor wave"

  • Thumbs up if you're tire of those Freeipad.tv

  • this is outdated. The tsunami in japan went further than the mile stated...

    "A local Japanese woman told Peter that some 10,000 people have died there.

    "She said they wouldn't believe the tsunami warnings because the town is 4km inland and up in the mountains, they didn't think the water could come this far. Her father and mother died."

  • just take a sponge and absorb all the water

  • Watch the two videos:

    Number 7 Ministries "The Good News About Tsunami 2011"

    Number 7 Ministries "Spiritual Tsunami"

  • @ImSethgiminumber How did you do that face symbol?

  • @ImSethgiminumber no not realy

  • 2:35 - Titanic scene?

  • 1:42 the guy knew he was dead so he risked it.

  • @telic123456 yeah true... its very sad... and he was probably like FUCK!

  • Godzilla?

  • 1:42 - what he was thinking ?

  • I would hate to be near sharp pointy things when this happens.

  • Chuck Norris jumped into the water very hard.<3

  • @NEVDAVS1970 Fuck you and fuck your Chuck Norris

  • @idricool, Same as you, Moron! >=3

  • @NEVDAVS1970 norris is a tard

  • @jonnyb4u, well, he's not! (BTW: I don't accept negative language, I put thumbs down on them and flag it if the user is saying it to me.)

  • and then i get some ice cream

  • Only if Chuck Norris was there and he farted there wouldnt be a Tsunami

  • god bless indonesia

  • @runescapeikill And India and Sri Lanka and even Japan

  • that actually scared me

  • you see the people filmin... because they filmed the water is going back to sea before the tsunami came..even 1.42 you see the man on the white sand on the beach but you also see the darker ground.

    it is the last warning if the water goes back so quickly into the sea you better run imediatly...

  • Damn, at 1:42 That poor kid was never gonna make it :(

  • WOW..they all sit there like retards and WAIT for it to hit..real smart. :I

  • And this is why i dont live on a coast of an ocean

  • Wow... This is fucken awesome.

  • 1:42 person gets hit

  • in soviet russia.......i fail at life  but thumbs up if.....oh wait im not a fag

  • He said most had no way of being warned? Uh, YOU LIVE ON THE BEACH. WTF did you expect? It's like when New Orleans flooded because of hurricane Katrina. All these people acting all stupid and suprised. If you live in a city that is built in a HOLE, it will flood! DUH.

  • this is bs, tsunamis are caused by godzilla and he uses them so he won't be seen...

  • Why the freak are they just filming people getting killed? I mean really. A simple "hey dude RUN FOR YOUR LIFE a tsunami is about to eat you" would suffice. -__- opposed to "DUUUDE THIS GUY IS ABOUT TO GET PWND!!" "OMG GET IT ON TAPE!!"

    haha...^__________^ people are stupid.

  • i like it , it Cleans Villages :P LOL joking .

  • It don't matter any more what ever it may be volcanoes, earth quakes or other disasters even be it man made one can only be ready 24-7+365 per year, per decade, per each humans life span one must be ready to leave this world how ever it may happen. So its best to be reborn again babes in Jesus Christ. and not just for fear alone but for life in the hear after.Their are only two warranty's what comes after this life One is heaven the other is hell. See Book of ENOCH Noah's great grandfather saw.

  • GOD.MADE ALL THIS.

  • get chuk noris to do the job

  • "The tide goes into reverse, a thunderous roar fills the air...and then.......THE PUDDLE HITS AND EVERYONE SLIPS,LOL!!!

  • THis is horable... lots of people die, lost families, lost their houses, lost everything... =( I am so lucky to have all I want and to be happy... I can hear at night people screaming in panic for help.

  • I'd punch that wave in the face! I'd make that wave my bitch then ride on a shark to saftey. Aquaman ain't got shit on me!

  • @SHOCKD0WN LOL!

  • @SHOCKD0WN Damn...I like you! You can come over and fuck my sister...

  • @SHOCKD0WN Who do you think you are, Chuck Norris?

  • @SHOCKD0WN puch wave in the face? lol keep dreamin kid

  • @SHOCKD0WN lmao you just do that, and I'll be seeing you on the news saying either "genius" or "dumbass"!!!

  • @musicluver13100 haha funniest comment ever

  • @SHOCKD0WN You talk tough. But you need to learn how to swim first. Then get out of the pool and swim in the ocean. Next buy a "boogie board" and catch a 3 foot wave, in Florida where the water is nice and warm. When you can survive that try a 6 foot day at the Newport Wedge in Orange County, California....get a wetsuit first. When you can survive that you need to go up to Mavericks on a 15 foot day (get a thicker wetsuit so you can shit yourself). What you see is about 1/1000 th of a tsumami.

  • @SHOCKD0WN fuck buddy i would roll over you and drown your bitch ass then i would let magets and vultures eat your dead ass lol wave 1 you 0

  • @SHOCKD0WN I'm pretty sure you would be just another bloated body with a toe tag.

  • @SHOCKD0WN Wrong attitude, you bitch! So many people have died in tsunamis and thats what you've got to say? You sir, are a FAGGOT.

  • @SHOCKD0WN Calm down Superman!:)

  • @SHOCKD0WN I KNEW IT, it chuck norris' brother

  • that poor kid :(

    didnt kno what was coming for him . :\

  • Lol, that kid got pwnt.

  • if i was the kid i would be like ''OH S*@T F@~K

  • poor kid :,(

  • I think I'm going to hell for this..but I'm kinda thirsty now.

  • omg that poor kid

  • He is not a kid.

  • Chuck Norris just peed

  • i think its not the time for this kind of humor..

  • poor kid... where the ******* was his dad...even if he was there it wouldnt of helped

  • water is so poverfull, ive tested at atlantic ocean, and results were that 2 feet wave can drag a human into ocean, and thats 2 feet, not 10 or 30 feet wave

  • it's hard to belive that water has so much strenght

  • So sad.

    2012 will be another one.

  • @Fierulxoxo stfu

  • RIP

  • tsunamis suck =/

  • I clicked to see footage of Tidal Waves and I ended up learning something. Come on National Geographic, are you kidding me!?

  • @HaloModder555 Well you need to learn how to read, because it says nothing of Tidal Waves...It says Killer Tsunamis

  • @HaloModder555 hahahahahahahahahahaahahah

  • @HaloModder555 you want to learn some thing, then learn, you can build a floating POD, man just think of the ride that would be once the wave scoops ya up into it, I am so going to build a POD

  • @HaloModder555 I clicked to see footage of tidal waves and ended up watching an add about how you can be 20 percent warmer if you wear a sweater with different lining then an ordinary sweater, Come on Youtube are you kidding me?!

  • omg i feel bad for that little kid..:(

  • malas lang sa maabtan.

  • :o nunca me atreveria a hacer algo como eso!

  • If can engulf a 10 story building then just go on an 11 story building ;)

  • @DarkenedSpade So first measure the wave so you know and then locate a building a bit higher. Yeah, that's the ticket.

  • @dougmccarron lol well just run to the highest building

  • なんでビーチになんか立ってんだ。

    命知らずすぎる。

    地震の後に波が引いたら、日本人だったら速効高い所に逃げるわ。

    津波は溺れ死んだり、圧殺されたり、建築物にぶつかって死んだり­するから、

    大地震の後に浜辺や海に近い所に居たら駄目だよ。

  • i love how this guy just records people almost drowning in the flooded streets

  • what if this shit happened in the gulf......

  • what about the biggest tsunami in alaska

  • @maxgoo11 wasnt video taped or recorded cause the other witnesses died

  • RIP for him and all these people who died that day

  • 1:44 If I was him I was like:"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
