Tsunami in American Samoa - Wave Coming Ashore

Footage of the second wave coming ashore in American Samoa

Sep 30 - A series of tsunamis smashing into American and Western Samoa in the Pacific have killed possibly more than 100 people, according to officials.
U.S. President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in American Samoa, a U.S. territory, and ordered federal aid to help recovery efforts.
A Pacific-wide tsunami warning was issued after a major undersea earthquake off American Samoa, with reports of a small tsunami reaching New Zealand and rising sea levels in several South Pacific island nations - including Tonga - and around Japan.
This video shows the aftermath on Western Samoa.

and like the video says this is the second wave or the aftermath of the real thing.....The first wave was the real tsunami killer don't you see all the cars and debris all over before the second wave came.......

Check out my video of the parking lot where the first wave came in. This one was just salt in the wound of the first one.

There is not much footage like this from anywhere in the world, showing a tsunami wave coming ashore. This is scientifically and historically valuable.

Note the partly submerged water heater at the bottom of the screen at 1:15, followed by the floating refrigerator. And see how easily the wave pushes the battered white pick-up around. If you were caught in this, you might be able to keep yourself above water, but the debris could hurt or kill you even so.

So many people way out of line, completely missing the point and full of ignorance, hate and arrogance.. It is almost as sad as what happened there.

Just got back from Samoa. Better than America? In what way? The lack of basics, decent medical care, and intense humidity, and corrupt chiefs?

Pretty place (except for American Samoa, which is a dump), but that's about it

@Xoxo7668 I'm just glad only 100 people died, probably the elderly that couldn't move. Unlike the true Hell Hole (Haiti) over 100,000 people died. Good for them Niggers! And now all these white fags feel sorry for them. Hahaha!

@Xoxo7668 You better shut the hell up, Samoa is a way better place than America. All the Americans wish they lived in Samoa but they too scared cuz the Samoans will kick your fagetty asses.
