Japanese Tsunami

I know we have all seen shot and videos of the Earthquake in Japan, but a friend sent this to me. When I was a child, I was in the 1964 Alaskan Earthquake and it lasted over five min's and was a 9.2 which was still bigger than the one the Japanese had. Although I didn't have to deal with a Tsunami, there were towns in Alaska that did. But it breaks my heart the shear panic these people had to endure for their ordeal. This is some footage that I haven't seen before. I'm sure more will come out in time.

You can see other people in the other cars that are in various conditions of floating. That had to be just terror, getting out of the cars wasn't much better of an option either... The debre would just drag you under...

Seems like that would last forever waiting to either die or be safe.
