@harikGod Tsunamis are very different, depending on the sufaceconditions at the place it hits shallower water. If they are slowed down alot in speed, they build up in height.
If they are sllowed to continue at relatively high speed, they do not build up as much in height, but it is still about the same ammount of water that hits the shore.
think of a tsunami like a flash flood of the ocean. It isn't the height of the waves, but it is the energy behind the waves caused by displacement pushing the sea on to land. It is the same as if you take your hands and clap up & down in a pool of water. Water has to move to make room for your hands so your hands actually force the water out in all directions in waves, same as the displacement caaused by the earthquake. Hope this helps ...
At 0:05 was anyone else like "what are you doing video taping ripples" and then at 0:11 changing to "what are you doing videotaping a tsunami?!?!".... hhaha
@AleksanderKalleberg ; wow dude; thank god you all made it out safe and your here to tell the story; thank you for the footage it must have been scary as hell to film it!!
@AleksanderKalleberg Bless your hearts going through this devestation. It's disgusting how many people come making jokes and crude comments about this disaster. So many people lost their lives...
A tsunami is a very different type of wave. In fact a Tsunami is more like a big wall of water than an actual wave. A Tsunami is generated underwater where as waves are generated on the surface. A Tsunami has a lot more energy and moves a great speeds.
@arpadpihes IMAGINE THIS. IF YOU BLOW THE WATER IN THE POOL WITH AIR(WINDS CAUSE OCEAN WAVES), IT WOULD MAKE WAVES BUT ONLY IN ONE AREA. IF SOMEONE JUMPS INTO A POOL OR MOVES FRANTICALLY (like a sea earthquake) THE FORCE OF THAT MOVEMENT WOULD CAUSE MOVEMENTS OF WATER/WAVES THAT WOULD AFFECT THE WHOLE POOL. LIKE WHAT NEWTON'S LAW STATES: THE UNDER SEA EARTHQUAKE'S KINETIC ENERGY WOULD TRANSFER TO WATER AND CAUSE TSUNAMI WAVES BECAUSE ENERGY CANNOT BE WASTED(or stopped) IT CAN only be transferred
Since a tsunami is a completely different type of wave. Normal wave is horizontally short. Up to several meters. Tsunami has a horizontal length of hundreds of kilometers. Although only 5 feet high, causing extensive damage. Hundreds of kilometers of the sea surge.
@arpadpihes the reason the bigger waves dont do damage it is because they have dont power! like wave in hawaii, they wind created, this one has strenth in it and pushed is by ocean more. (i learned english translater google)
@arpadpihes Larger waves hit higher, but tsunamis are MUCH more powerfull than normal storm waves! We dont call them tsunamis cause ther higher, but cause there created by earthquakes, not by storm. A earthquake in the ocean has ancient build up energy that releases at once, creating lots of waves. Once they reacht the shore, they grow. And ALL that ancient energy will be released on thousands of people. Look from 1:23 and on at left bottom of screen....
@arpadpihes Behind the Tsunami is a surge of water. You will notice esp some of the Japan footage that once the wave beaches the water does not then flow back out to sea as it would on a windy day. It stays put. Each consecutive wave is only the front for another rise in sea level.
People can say what they want about the 'insignificant' size of the waves, but it's the power behind them that made them so deadly. And the sheer volume of water... D:
@SophieSovereign i agree! and if one of you incompetent morons were there, would you be complaining about the insignificant size of the waves? i thought not.
Wow... from 0:30 - 0:50... you can visibily see the water being sucked back into the ocean... If you see this in real life and you're on the beach... just get your ass up and run for the nearest concrete+steel building.
@crazyjoel123 how can you say that when over 250,000 people died. Why dont we imagine for a second that your family are in there? they were in a boat when this wave hit them, capsising them and trapping them in a sinking ship, their air bubble getting smaller and smaller!
Im going to Koh Lanta later this year. Just wondering if any of these resorts/hotels near the beach have been able to take any measures to protect themselves better should something like this happen again?
@MrDampkring It will happen again. The only real question is when will the plates shift again. Then again a good question would be "Has there been improvement on a warning system?" I doubt man can win a battle with the sea, but an early response may give people a chance to reach safety.
@RCMZ193 These were more like flash floods though still deadly. The sky scrapers ones are in the movies. Theese waves just kept coming and coming which ordinary waves don't do. The force currents were amazing if you got caught in that you'd sucked out to sea and many were on that day.
I don't understand? I know, I'll sound like a retard but can someone explain this?
WHAT I NEED EXPLAINED: Whoever made this said 200,000 people died because of those waves but they didn't go far when you watched this or was the bigger wave before or after this? I don't want to sound ignorant - I just dont fully understand:)
@HereIsRosie actually it killed almost 300,000 total but thats over all the islands it hit,they had no warning and the tsunami went inlad 24 miles from what i seen on the learning channel,some people just couldnt get away i guess.
@HereIsRosie The first and last waves actually went in quite a long way. The vantage point in this vid is from pretty high up so it doesn't do justice to the size of the waves. Also there were some areas where the waves hit harder than this one.
@AlphaCrosby it looks like a little wave, but the water won't stop keep coming, so as soon the water is on the streets, it will just continue until it reaches mountains or travelles very far..
@Sniper2010Cal50 Por Que No Te Callas Imbecil!! Arrepientete Que Se Acerca El Fin Y Deja De Estar Con Tus Estupideses!! DIOS Viene En Una Nube De Gloria Pronto!!
For the ignorant amongst you these are tsunamis, ableit smaller ones, but they'd still overpower you with ease - for those that suggest they wouldn't you'd be the first screaming like babies if caught be any one of these - just look how they overtop the beach wall. The only truly montrous tsunamis were very localised around Bandah Aceh - one woman and her daughter miraclously survived a wave of over 30 metres - a man 130ft up a tree also had the top of the wave break over him and survived.
as others have said.. where was the tsunami???? these were just a series of big-ish waves! those people would not have been standing comfortably by the beach like that if that was the tsunami, they'd have been killed. i've seen actual footage of the tsunami where you can actually see the giant wave hitting the beach and covering everything in its path. i understand that this was an awful tradegy and the person who filmed this was lucky to escape alive, but this is NOT a video of a tsunami!!!!
@Fred12328 Mas foi isso mesmo. Quem estava aí nesse momento não esperaria que tivesse tanta persecução. Não foi aquela bomba d´água que geralmente vimos nos filmes ou em outras situações. O tsunami veio lentamente, mas foi alargando tanto que várias pessoas morreram mais pro interior, pois não tiveram esse "leve" aviso incial.
one small wave could do alot of damage!im sorry that your family died!my step family died in a tsunami to!some pll think this is funny BUT ITSNOT!!thats crazy,
o shit that tsunami was small and it did alot of damage and i also like the song ooooooo and the motherfuckers think this viseo stinks and the song tooo U now how many people die?
We are all spectators on the stage of life. Think about it...within seconds...250,000 people lost their lives. Death is always intimately woven with life.
Why are most people who leave comments on youtube so uncivil. AleksanderKalleberg i sincerely appreciate your video in all aspects, thanks for posting!
Why are most people who leave comments on youtube so uncivil. AleksanderKalleberg i sincerely appreciate your video in all aspects, thanks for posting!
To bring clarity to those individuals inquiring about the correlation between what is depicted in this video and the estimated death toll in the wake of the 2004 tsunami, i will say this...roughly 250,000 people parished because the tsunami affected 11 countries, in which many more videos of far more destructive waves were captured on film.
The thing is that a tsunami is a wave that propagates in the water, not at the surface. When it reaches the shore, the wave rises with the shore and just gains height quickly. It is not that the waves are fast, but just imagine trying to fight your away against a wave that is driven by the ocean, with all its weight behind it...
just to clarify as you appear to be mentally challenged..........the speed of a tsunami depends on depth of water. The deeper the water then the faster it will travel....thereofre in the open ocean a tsunami can travel at close to 600mph...but as the water shallows the front of the wave slows but the back carries on travelling faster which causes a build up in height. You r so thick, do some basic research......what is it like to be ignorant?
the water only moves locally idiot........it doesnt travel 3000 miles across the ocean. The energy does of course but not the water. It's like when you flick a hose pipe.....a wave moves along its length......but the hose pipe only moves up or down on a radius from your arm.......u r so thick GadKing.......i hate people like u
and wtf do u mean by the water is not moving at this velocity on the ground?
and i'd becarefull using the term velocity when talking about something that is moving in more than one direction........speed would be more appropriate in this instance dumbo. velocity is a vector quantity....but a tsunami is scalar.......get your terminology correct dumbo
@ZoracSiteManager I don't know what's your problem.. I'm arguing about the speed of the tsunami at the surface... I said "The water is not moving at this velocity on the ground". I also talked about the wave underwater that gains height as it reaches the shore. I know what a tsunami is. Just by looking at your youtube profile, people seem to think that you're an asshole, so I'm not going to argue on this anymore.
Not being disrespectful (and I really mean that), I have to agree with Trojanxplayer, how can a wave that apparently breaks over the dune manages to destroy the whole city, I am not being suspicious or implying that this was over rated, it is just me NOT being able to understand how this phenomena manages to kill so many persons. If you pay attention to the little palm trees shags on shore, they withstand the hits(please dont insult me)
it wasent just this island look at phi phi island phuket it got destroyed becasue it was closer to it and all the sructure there isnt as good as good as the wealthyer contries
chemistry has nothing to do with tsunami and earthquakes. you should review your college earth science and physics (not fisics) before posting things here.
A great video, Really shows the dynamics of a tsunami properly and how its not a huge wave, rather a huge surge of water.... its a pity so many people died :-( but its the awesome, unpredictable power of mother nature I guess
so is there any footage of the very first wave hitting? most of the footage i have seen the places are already wet, suggesting a wave had already come through
Yes! After first wave always wait safe wherever you are in case it comes again. Sometimes getting down to street after first wave is the biggest mistake.
sick wave at 2:07, better than pipeline haha.... but why wouldnt u run away, why stay and film? i mean its a tsunami, if it were me, id be concerned for my life, i woulda booked it out of there, u got balls dude... serious balls.
when your trying to stay alive you dont really think straight especialy when your scared shitless and i dont think they were thinking of watching the waves as much as running away from them
where could they have gone they were in a building surounded by water the best thing you can do is stay in the dryest place you can find and if you have to hang on for dear life
I don't get this...those waves are nothing compared to a lot of other parts...
for example this:
/watch?v=nNR5zacQihU&context=C3093709ADOEgsToPDskKgEpgAEsjveUFtYNBdEomW

Take a comparsion of Khaol Lak and Phi Phi for an example
In Khao Lak the wave was huge and rumbeling forward as
a train in full speed. Thats becasue the cost is very
shallow and wide, the wave builds up it´s strength.
In phi phi the surrounding water is much deeper and
wont get shallow until the shore. The effects of that is
that the waterlevel just seems to rise and "slurps" on to land

First time the wave didn't reach but second time it reached really powerfully..

These waves are incredible, don't underestimate them, they are quite impresive!

To bring clarity to those individuals inquiring about the correlation between what is depicted in this video and the estimated death toll in the wake of the 2004 tsunami, i will say this...roughly 250,000 people parished because the tsunami affected 11 countries, in which many more videos of far more destructive waves were captured on film.

that did not look like a big wave and how can that wave make all water go with lots of powers well like fast speed??
Albertx94 2 years ago
The thing is that a tsunami is a wave that propagates in the water, not at the surface. When it reaches the shore, the wave rises with the shore and just gains height quickly. It is not that the waves are fast, but just imagine trying to fight your away against a wave that is driven by the ocean, with all its weight behind it...

@GadKing
a tsunami is really fast
like 400 till 700 kmp/h
thats really fast

yes
i learned it at school yesterday

@pennenbakje1 Ok so the wave is travelling at half the speed of sound? As fast as a Boeing? I'm sorry, but no.
GadKing 1 year ago
@GadKing
just to clarify as you appear to be mentally challenged..........the speed of a tsunami depends on depth of water. The deeper the water then the faster it will travel....thereofre in the open ocean a tsunami can travel at close to 600mph...but as the water shallows the front of the wave slows but the back carries on travelling faster which causes a build up in height. You r so thick, do some basic research......what is it like to be ignorant?

@GadKing
the water only moves locally idiot........it doesnt travel 3000 miles across the ocean. The energy does of course but not the water. It's like when you flick a hose pipe.....a wave moves along its length......but the hose pipe only moves up or down on a radius from your arm.......u r so thick GadKing.......i hate people like u

@GadKing
and wtf do u mean by the water is not moving at this velocity on the ground?
and i'd becarefull using the term velocity when talking about something that is moving in more than one direction........speed would be more appropriate in this instance dumbo. velocity is a vector quantity....but a tsunami is scalar.......get your terminology correct dumbo
ZoracSiteManager 1 year ago
@ZoracSiteManager I don't know what's your problem.. I'm arguing about the speed of the tsunami at the surface... I said "The water is not moving at this velocity on the ground". I also talked about the wave underwater that gains height as it reaches the shore. I know what a tsunami is. Just by looking at your youtube profile, people seem to think that you're an asshole, so I'm not going to argue on this anymore.

Not being disrespectful (and I really mean that), I have to agree with Trojanxplayer, how can a wave that apparently breaks over the dune manages to destroy the whole city, I am not being suspicious or implying that this was over rated, it is just me NOT being able to understand how this phenomena manages to kill so many persons. If you pay attention to the little palm trees shags on shore, they withstand the hits(please dont insult me)

chemistry has nothing to do with tsunami and earthquakes. you should review your college earth science and physics (not fisics) before posting things here.

A great video, Really shows the dynamics of a tsunami properly and how its not a huge wave, rather a huge surge of water.... its a pity so many people died :-( but its the awesome, unpredictable power of mother nature I guess

In time? It can take several hours with more than one wave. It can even take one or so between waves.

NaStYMeXiKaN 2 years ago
Yes! After first wave always wait safe wherever you are in case it comes again. Sometimes getting down to street after first wave is the biggest mistake.
bodtorent 2 years ago
it can take a long time. in this case after the earthquake it took 8 minutes.

sick wave at 2:07, better than pipeline haha.... but why wouldnt u run away, why stay and film? i mean its a tsunami, if it were me, id be concerned for my life, i woulda booked it out of there, u got balls dude... serious balls.

when your trying to stay alive you dont really think straight especialy when your scared shitless and i dont think they were thinking of watching the waves as much as running away from them
lwisemon 2 years ago
where could they have gone they were in a building surounded by water the best thing you can do is stay in the dryest place you can find and if you have to hang on for dear life
