Tsunami hits Japan after massive earthquake 11.03.2011

READ THE DESCRIPTION!!

this video is a tribute for JAPAN


GOD BLESS JAPAN !!!!! 11.03.2011


(CNN) -- The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.
"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).
The temblor, which struck Friday afternoon near the east coast of Japan, killed hundreds of people, caused the formation of 30-foot walls of water that swept across rice fields, engulfed entire towns, dragged houses onto highways, and tossed cars and boats like toys. Some waves reached six miles (10 kilometers) inland in Miyagi Prefecture on Japan's east coast.
The quake was the most powerful to hit the island nation in recorded history and the tsunami it unleashed traveled across the Pacific Ocean, triggering tsunami warnings and alerts for 50 countries and territories as far away as the western coasts of Canada, the U.S. and Chile. The quake triggered more than 160 aftershocks in the first 24 hours -- 141 measuring 5.0-magnitude or more.
The quake occurred as the Earth's crust ruptured along an area about 250 miles (400 kilometers) long by 100 miles (160 kilometers) wide, as tectonic plates slipped more than 18 meters, said Shengzao Chen, a USGS geophysicist.
Japan is located along the Pacific "ring of fire," an area of high seismic and volcanic activity stretching from New Zealand in the South Pacific up through Japan, across to Alaska and down the west coasts of North and South America. The quake was "hundreds of times larger" than the 2010 quake that ravaged Haiti, said Jim Gaherty of the LaMont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.
The Japanese quake was of similar strength to the 2004 earthquake in Indonesia that triggered a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in more than a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean. "The tsunami that it sent out was roughly comparable in terms of size," Gaherty said. "[The 2004 tsunami] happened to hit some regions that were not very prepared for tsunamis ... we didn't really have a very sophisticated tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean basin at the time so the damage was significantly worse."
The Japanese quake comes just weeks after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch on February 22, toppling historic buildings and killing more than 150 people. The timeframe of the two quakes have raised questions whether the two incidents are related, but experts say the distance between the two incidents makes that unlikely.

Terrific video, in terms of the footage edited together, obviously not terrific in terms of death. One of the most devastating earthquakes of all time that did no damage until the Tsunami came along.

Only the day before i was on USGS and noted a 7.2 which wasnt reported tv wise due to its depth giving it no great cause for harm.

Thank you for putting this together.

@KermytDJ with welcome my friend :)

OMG!!!!! I cannot describe how i fell watching this :((((

My heart bleeds fro them, it was devastating,

@Iconoclastithon and especially, u said u believe in god when u said that about him?

btw u should've learned this in science:

if god chose to save Japan from it, by stopping the tsunami to hit THEM, then it would've hot the USA or india, England, australlia, anywhere. and guess what, I'm 10 and ik this stuff

[SamanthaDragon]

@Iconoclastithon god can't help u with all ur problems duh. ur trying to say something like this:

a girl sees the best dress in the mall. She has $50. The dress costs $100. She needs more money.

your saying something kinda like that. so will god just give her more money? NO. He can't help it that the tsunami hit Japan, and ur acting like a fu***r about it just cuz he ddnt do something.

get a life and go fu*k urself bastard.

PROOF THERE IS NO PERSONAL GOD/SKY-PARENT! THAT REVEALED RELIGIONISTS/MONOTHEISTS ARE DELUDED AND COLD HEARTED TWATS! "GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN" SAYS THE END OF THE VIDEO! WTF! IF YOUR PERSONAL GOD(S) WERE TO DO SO...SHOULD'NT HE/SHE HAVE DONE SO BEFORE THIS TRAGEDY! WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE! JAPAN AND ALL HUMANITY DAMN PERSONAL REVELATORY GODS!

{P.S., I do not deny Gods existance, merely from a Deistic/PanenDeistic/PanDeisti­c stance, but theism/revealed religion- FUCK YES- I DENY!}

The Japan earthquake will be nothing compared to the one that will hit the west coast of North America.

@TheFeelmaker I too prefer the other one. This one feels like its aimed at the Hollywood audiences, while the Fukushima 50 Tribute video is more though-provoking. Either way, Japan needs as much awareness and help as ever.

[TheFeelmaker]

Impressive and sad pictures.

The video is well edited but a bit too much on the shocking side for my taste.

Check out the one called "Fulushima 50 - Tribute" here on youtube. Similar images but original music. Big in a different way.
