Swingandalongonetoleft Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Terrible. I heard they were showing live footage of the wave approaching a busy highway. I'm glad I didn't see it. Here is a real facebook post from a girl I know: "people say fish are dumb. I disagree. hundreds of fish fled the pacific ocean a few days ago, knew what was coming?" ...think Jillian from Family Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Jeez, what were those people thinking when they drove perpendicular to the incoming tsunami?? It's crazy and sad that they caught that on camera. Also, the amount of debris that is in that water is just ridiculous, the amount of damage that will create Im sure is astronomical.

Chisoxfn Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 12:37 AM) Holy s***. I have friends there. I was supposed to be there this week, but I took a new job in January. Otherwise I would have been in Tokyo. My friends were BBming me telling me how strong it was and everything. THe pictures are just jaw dropping. My thoughts and prayers are with those in Japan right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 One person on ABC news this morning said there were some internal reports within Japan indicating that 88,000 people were missing. But it seems like most news outlets currently are reporting a few thousand missing. I imagine, just looking at the videos, that unfortunately those counts will rise.

I dont think those people could really see where the tsunami was coming from. I saw a video where it was closing on places from two sides.

If they really couldnt see it coming and it was moving that fast, yea I could totally see myself getting blindsided like those in the video did. But looking at that much debris in the water it looks like riding it out would not really be a survivable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
