The wave at 7:47 has to be the most frightening wave I've ever seen photographed....

Just horrible. Those poor people.

I'm sorry, but these people seem slightly brain dead. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was common knowledge that water always recedes before a tsunami. The second I saw the water receding there wouldn't be any amount of money that could keep me there any longer let alone some bs mystifying effect of filming a dry beach.

Exactly my thought. I've never lived near a beach or an ocean, not even within 200 miles of one. But I know this. If the ocean recedes, run and don't look back. Or ya know, maybe start yelling and screaming at others as you go.

> but these people seem slightly brain dead

I have to give them the benefit of the doubt.... 1) maybe their tv news doesn't focus on death and destruction like ours does, where tsunami = horror = death = let's make a TV special. And 2) like they said "they've never seen this."

Everyone who I have shown it to here in Alaska says the same thing "omg the water is going out I am RUNNING immediately"
