Onagawa Tsunami Aftermath (March 23, 2011).mp4

This is a long video I took of most of the destroyed part of Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture, on March 23, 2011. I was there and experienced the earthquake and witnessed the tsunami which destroyed most of the town. I took this video showing what was left during the week of the elementary school graduation ceremony. This is very raw footage, and some of my explanations are somewhat unclear, as I was dealing with a lack of many basic supplies over the past couple of weeks. I also had a bad cough at the time of the disaster, which only got worse for a while, and apologize for the coughing in the background. The only things that had been done in town since the time of the tsunami, was the clearing of debris from some of the roads, rebuilding of some of the washed out roads, and the moving of some debris around as they began the search for bodies. Most of the town, except for the cleared roads, is how it was immediately after the tsunami. More information about Onagawa can be found on my website at http://www.onagawaishinomakitsunami.com/

I've been trying to post a higher quality video. That's why I removed the original one. I've got more videos to come, but was speaking Japanese in those, and have to add translations before posting them. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I thought you removed it!
