Such a beautiful and peaceful civilisation lost forever..... It's heartbreaking.

Thank you redwing, this is exactly what I was looking for. What a beautiful place it was to live in. So lovely, so sad.

@redwing115

Thanks for posting - everything up to the 3:05 mark is completely gone. Check out BBC at world-asia-pacific-12735023. This BBC (NHK World) video (55 second mark onwards) is taken from up the hill behind the tracks - at about 20 meters elevation. Google maps 38.681662,141.440423.

Most likely 5:55 onwards is also destroyed, as it is below 20m.

Very cool video, actually - and @kar1227 it was not advertised as having anything to do with the earthquake. It is the Kesennuma train line, between two towns to the south of Kesennuma. I enjoyed watching it, I've always wondered what a train ride in Japan would be like. Thanks for posting.

@kar1227 I just felt a fear of destroy.
