Still in awe at some of the pictures coming out of Japan, it's incredible. After the Indian ocean Tsunami in 2004 I never thought we would see anything like again in our lifetime.

It's incredible what damage a wall of water can do

It's hard to believe how whole towns & villages can be flattened like that

Here is video from one incredibly lucky person who was on top of one of the few buildings to survive the Tsnunami in Miyako. When you look afterwards there was only one or two buildings left standing, incredible. That's what you call luck: -

That's one of the most astonishing home movies I've ever seen Peter

It just shows why so many die in these events, it all happens so quickly

Channel 4 Tonight @ 8.15pm - Japan's Tsunami: Caught on Camera

If it is anything like the one they did for 9/11 then I think this will show some amazing footage.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be watching that. I made a note of these videos recently that appeared on You Tube, just incredible stuff.
