Japanese Tsunami viewed from a HD dash cam
Yikes!
The driver of this car had an HD video camera attached to his dashboard. Not only did it capture the effects of the earthquake of March 11, you can see what happened when the tsunami caught up with his car. The driver apparently exited the car a few seconds before his car was crushed (he survived). The police recently recovered his camera from the wreckage, and were able to salvage the video. Unfortunately, there was no mention of how far his car was from the shore (or how high he was above sea level) when the tsunami struck him. http://www.flixxy.com/japanese-tsuna...from-a-car.htm

Amazing. Seeing that person on top of their car as well, riding it out.

That was quite intense. I didn't realize how much cars float.

Me either. However floating aint particularly safe when the tide pummels you into objects.

Good thing that the passenger in the car in front remembered to close the door when they got out.

Wow, that certainly adds perspective we couldn't realize before.
I can't believe the video was salvaged. Poor Japan. |
