Video of Japan town wiped out by monster quake-tsunami

Follow latest updates at http://twitter.com/rt_com and http://www.facebook.com/RTnews Rescuers on Monday dug through rubble in Rikuzentakata, a port city of over 20-thousand people in Iwate Prefecture, which was virtually wiped out by Friday's earthquake and tsunami. Local media estimates that almost three-quarters of the city was swept away by the tsunami, which surged over an eight-metre (26 feet) high dike. Footage also shows emergency workers searching through the wreckage for survivors in the town of Iwanuma in Miyagi prefecture.

@wualyssa

the japanese aren't like the people during katrina.

the Japanese actually have respect for other people's property

@BigTrollShaman ...exactly. There are people and there are people. Japanese are a superior culture. Respectful, religious, highly educated, drive by perfection, always in search of excellency, everything they do is for the search of the highest standards at watever they pursue. Katrina people, middle class US americans from southern states are like little monkeys inside a glass store. There is no comparison between the most advanced country in the world and rednecks that scavange their south.

@jimmywrangles ...yeah, and I´ll bet they are sorry for that. Whilst Americans still think they were right when did all their evil in southeast Asia 40 years ago. Theres a difference between a culture which is sorry for their past acts, turning their country from a sink hole after WWII into the most advanced nation on Earth, and a culture of pampered irresponsible rich rednecks who live and behave like a third world country spending and polluting like maniacs if there was no tomorrow.

@pixelsilva Japanese soldiers bayoneted my great grandfather in his hospital bed at Alexandra hospital in Singapore in WW2.

They raped, tortured and murdered their way across a third of the world.

How quickly we forget.

RIP all those who died in the Tsunami and Earthquake.

@BigTrollShaman, I am from the south and I do not act like a little monkey in a glass store. I am educated and would never take others things. I would want someone to treat me with kindness just as I would them in a disaster so do not lump all southern people in one class. You sound ignorant and stupid when condemning people you do not know by the actions of a few bad people.

Only japanese get this disaster as Karma given by God.

Sorry for being such a cruel-sounding person but when the picture of a family shows up, some guy speaks, what was he saying?

God bless the Japanese ♥
