Just surfaced(no pun intended!
« on: 12 May 2012, 15:10:00 »

Amazing footage of the tsunami from a car or van caught in it,


An HD camera was mounted on a dash board of a vehicle.

The camera was found a short time ago in the debris from the Japanese Tsunami in 2011.

 This is absolutely incredible footage if you have a few minutes (under 5).

Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 11 March 2011 earthquake hit in Japan .

Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the Tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job.

The HD camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake, but also the moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the Tsunami.

He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater.

His car and the camera have only recently been recovered by the police.

The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this footage.


  Sit back and prepare to hold your breath!

I can't imagine what it must have been like for anyone swept away in that water with all that debris crashing around.

That is so frightening. The speed that the water rose was shocking.

This was on the telly a while back, along with lots of other shocking footage. The power of the tsunami is just unbelievable

PS If it had been me in that car, you'd have heard quite a few expletives being said/shouted. That guy was remarkably calm throughout

I like the way that as the water started to surround the cars, the bloke in front got out of his car ....... but then  stepped back to shutthe door!  ;)
