| #8 As per QUAKE VIDEOS > I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe 3-4 Persons may had allowed themselves to get overwhelmed by the tidal waves. They were initially observed in [mainly]open fields seemingly trying to escape = physically outrun the wave, but stopped running after realizing they weren't going to make it. I IMAGINE THEY MADE SOME FINAL PRAYERS, OTHER TO GOD IN THEIR FINAL MICRO/MILLI-SECONDS OF LIFE BEFORE THE WAVES RUSHED OER THEM. Also saw a poor dog atop what IMO looked like some kind of household appliance? being taken away by the tsunami current - I hope he was able to survive. |

| #5 Good grief, 2x4 - those pics are incredible. Thanks for the link. It's not as important as the loss of human life in the short term, but long term all that farmland ruined by the salt water is going to place a huge burden on Japan. I suspect it will be years, if not decades, before the land is arable again. Not only lives but livelihoods were lost. A truly unfathomable tragedy all around. :-( |

| #3 Somehow seeing all those life action videos of the tsunami waves gave me a better understanding of the damage done than I ever got from verbal descriptions. |
