Japan earthquake March 2011 - Narita Airport

This happened seriously 5 mins after landing at the airport still waiting in line for security. After sleeping in the Airport that night with ZERO help from United we waited in line the next morning from 7:00am to 3:00pm to thankfully get put on the next flight home to SF.

I was only able get the initial earthquake with my cell phone but was able to pull out my Canon towards the end of the first big one and fully got the second. If I knew the first one was going to last for 5 mins I would've had my good cam out.

Poor you, sleeping in the airport. Meanwhile, thousands of families watched their homes destroyed and loved ones killed. Makes your petty attempt of bashing United sound like an entitled American brat.

@TheTpanative you are an idiot just like most of the idiots on YouTube who hide behind their 'puter screen. I have a wife and two little girls here in the states, my #1 goal was to get the fuck home to my family before something else happened.Petty attempt at bashing United? Once again you show your stupidity. If I was on Delta, I would of been welcomed with food and blankets. Fuck off

@hebneh The first earthquake was at 2:46, but the second one was about 3:15. That's the earthquake that most of this video is showing. This was the strongest aftershock on March 11th - according to Wikipedia article entitled "東北地方太平洋沖地震の前震・本震・余震の記録" ("Record of foreshocks, main quake, and aftershocks of the Tohoku Region Pacific Offshore Earhquake") this was a M7.7. This was just off the coast of Ibaraki Prefecture, and therefore Narita airport was quite close to the epicenter.

Interesting that the clock that's suspended from the ceiling (and which is being shaken back and forth) shows the time is 3:16 pm. It took that much time for the shock waves from the earthquake's inception at 2:46 pm to reach this point.
