This video was shot from a building in the port of Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture on March 11, 2011. The cameraman escaped on to the rooftop, but the high water of tsunami engulfed the whole town, and even four-story buildings got under water. At 1:47, he uttered an angry groan: "Bloody hell, it's more than 10 meter high!". (Later reports suggest that the tsunami was more than 17 meter high in Onagawa.) Now you can understand that it was one of the most severely damaged areas in this disaster.

  • Dear John

    I´m preparing a non-profit exhibition about 3/11 - the earthquake and tsunami that hit the east coastline of Japan almost one year ago.

    My main focus is the damages of the city, Onagawa. I saw your video, "New Tsunami Video: Onagawa engulfed by high water - Japan Earthquake 2011 [stabilized]", and I would like to ask you, if I can show this video during my exhibition?

    I´m looking forward to hearing from you.

    All the best, Jacob
