Tsunami Protection

How do you protect a port city from a tsunami? Check out part of the tsunami wall and gate system along the waterfront in Kobe, Japan.

The waterfront in Kobe is really wonderful! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Kurt :)

Thanks for showing.

Aren't these gates a little low?

I mean, are they expecting a one meter tsunami?

[BusanKevin]

I suppose that's all they're expecting. i thought they were a little low too, but then again....I am not a scientist !

@42317

They are too low for a serious tsunami. They'd need a 1-2 story wall if they really wanted to protect against tsunamis, but it would require massive capital that I don't think anyone wants to spend. But with the tsunami so recent in people's memory... who knows. Maybe they will consider?
