Ultimate 2011 Japanese Tsunami Compilation

Ultimate 2011 Japanese Tsunami Compilation

On March 11, 2011 it was like any other Friday for most Japanese workers.
Many were going about their day, getting ready for the weekend.
As it got to late afternoon, many Japanese residents prepared to make the journey home.
Little did they know, many wouldn't make it, and their lives would be changed forever.

At 2:46pm Japanese standard time, a record breaking 9.1 magnitude undersea mega thrust earthquake occurred just 45 miles off the east coast of Japan.
It occurred at a relatively shallow depth of just 20 miles below the surface.
The shaking from the earthquake lasted approximately 6 minutes.
Almost immediately it triggered a Tsunami, and sent waves as high as 40 metres racing toward the Japanese coast.
The waves were traveling at a staggering 435 miles per hour.
Most residents had only an 8 to 10 minute warning in order to evacuate the area.
Then, the unimaginable happened...the Tsunami hit Japan's East coast, with footage that looked like it had come from a Hollywood movie.

Many area's of Japan at the time were experiencing freezing conditions around 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Getting washed away in the water would cause hypothermia in just a matter of minutes.

The devastation caused by the Tsunami was on a scale that had rarely been seen before.
But this tsunami would do something no other tsunami had done in history.
The tsunami caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Powerful waves of the Tsunami damaged the emergency diesel generators leading to a loss of electric power.
The damage done to the nuclear plant would cause the meltdowns of three of its reactors, and subsequently the discharge of radioactive water in Fukushima and the associated evacuation zones.
This would affect hundreds of thousands of residents in the surrounding areas, exposing them to radiation.
In the days after the accident, radiation released into the atmosphere forced the government to declare an an exclusion zone around the plant with a 12 mile radius.
The result was the most severe nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
