Otherworldly Video Footage Of Japanese Tsunami Depicts Massive Devastation

video
» 54 comments

Americans are just waking up to learn that last night an 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan on Friday, which triggered tsunamis and sent a massive body of water that caused devastation in the Northeastern coastal regions of Japan. Various news reports from Japan have revealed incredible footage of the enormous wall of water, wrecking towns and cities in Japan.

The AP has reported that the epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) away from the capital, Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said. But residents there felt the tremors. The report of the earthquake also led to some parts of Hawaii to lead a “vertical evacuation” in which residents move inland and to higher ground.

Watch a collection of video reports that have surface from Japan below:

    All the libs that post here will have to wait and see what Palin says about this before they know if they are for the Tsunami or against it. They will be opposite whatever she says.

  • BlackWidow

    I knew you idiots that post on here could not say anything normal about this devastation without bring politics and hatred into it. Gordon you are a sad excuse for a human being.

    Soooo, you are still waiting to find out what to say from Obama? When did you learn about being human?

  • BatBoy

    How close is Al Gore’s multi million dollar beach house?

    Sure hope he has a good Tsunami Insurance Policy.

    Obama will have a full statement in 2 weeks. In the mean time, he is looking for “someones ass to kick” over this George Bush caused Tsunami.

    Holy. Crap. That is incredible destruction. Wow.

    Looks like Hawaii dodged a bullet, though.

  • http://www.sarainitalyblog.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

    I didn’t notice the first few times i saw the top video – but you can see a bunch of cars driving right into the path of the tsunami. yipes!

    this is awful. been watching all day. poor people!
    i can’t believe those people mingling on the bridge, either, just watching the ships go by. I would be running! It looks like the water finally does break over the bridge. eeek

    and now they are warning people to run away from the nuke plants. che disastro!

  • http://www.sarainitalyblog.blogspot.com/ sarainitaly

    I couldn’t help but notice I don’t think I saw one person duck under their desks, and everyone ran outside…. I think you just panic, no matter how many times you’re told to duck and cover.

    I was going to say I wonder which right wing piece of shit would cast aspersions toward Obama in this horrible disaster, but this gordonbloyer fool beat me to it.

  • GaGator

    Maybe this will finally convince the deniers about the real danger of Global Warming. Al Gore predicted this!

    An 8.9? Good grief. Has there ever been one bigger than that?

    Yes, 4 others. Considering that the death toll isn’t that bad so far. It’s no doubt going to rise for days but we can hope it’s as low as possible.

    You need to write “sarcasm” in brackets after this otherwise people might take you seriously. That could be bad, for you. Just saying.

    Serious that was funny and of course the libs got their panty’s in a bunch.

  • Steve_27

    You libs gotta lighten up, there are clearly some jokes on here and you make yourselves look like idiots getting all nasty with your responses.

    Wait wait wait, what the hell am I thinking? To be miserable and angry is what being a liberal is all about so asking you to lighten up would be like asking you to stop being liberal. Ok disregard.

    I’m waiting for someone to say that since Fox is covering it, maybe it didn’t really happen.

  • Steve_27

    Anyone notice the west coast map Fox is showing with California and Washington in red, but Oregon is ignored? Wtf? These waves are only going to hit the other two and Oregon is safe? lol

    Oregon is gonna get wiped out then libs will scream “Fox lies!!” LOL!

  • Steve_27

    They need to explain the dangers that come with tsunamis. All they’re saying is 6 foot waves are coming to the west coast, thats just gonna make people run out there with their surf boards.

  • writer

    They’re already saying that. We do the same thing on the Gulf Coast when there’s a storm. Well, with Katrina not so much.

    You have to remember they only like this kind of humor when Maher or Stewart do it. Libs don’t really have a sense of humor. They just know that making fun of conservatives is supposed to be funny not the other way around.

    I just had to point out that some libtard gave this harmless post a thumbs down. It’s amusing to see that some lib here hates me so much that he just clicks the down thumb when seeing my name attached to it. LOL

    So suttle but 100% accurate.

  • tnthutch

    I stumbled across this looking for video of the recent tragedy in Japan. I was pretty dismayed by all the political comments. Seriously??? I mean if this were a video or story about what the Dems and/or Republicans plan to do to help the victims or something POLITICAL, I could see it. But there isn’t anything political about videos of or the event itself. I don’t care what your political leanings are that’s pretty childish. If someone makes a joke (no matter that it’s in poor taste) about this tragedy just ignore it. Save the politics for when they start talking about what caused it and/or what to do in the aftermath, which could contain opinions.

    Empathy is not exactly your long suit, fella. It’s more a liberal thing.

    On second thought, you might have something there. Given her track record, sociopathy, and ignorance, it’s probably better than 50-50 she’ll get it wrong.

    However, as an evolved human being (you ought to try it sometime), I don’t need Sarah Palin telling me right from wrong, and in fact really wish she’d stop.

    I saw a list earlier that placed it 7th in magnitude. According to this list it would be 6th:

    Seems to me all the outrage comes from the uber right. You are the queens that are always crying about how you are being abused by Obama & co. You are the ones who see a conspiracy behind every lamppost. Haven’t you filled enough blackboards with circles to stop and relax?

    I’m not outraged’ I’m amused. You jokers would make a psychoanalyst rich. Your projection is so widespread, you could be an IMAX theater. You see your own problems in everyone else. Ask Glenda to draw it up for you.

    Now you are proving how stupid you are. You can’t figure out what my name is? LOL Do you know how to google, sorry you most likely don’t. Do you know how many dummies have posted that same lame comment? Now go back to answering the bell at the pick-up window.

    Gordo; your arrogance is exceeded only by your vitriol and self aggrandizement. Despite your lofty dreams, you are but another fart in the wind of the blogosphere. NO ONE has heard of you. NO ONE knows who you are. NO ONE cares.
    People who haven’t heard of you aren’t stupid; just lucky.

    It has nothing to do with arrogance. It is about how stupid people like you are. Do you want to admit that you are so dumb that you think “show” at the end of my user name confuses anyone about what my name is?
    I am sure you are not that dumb. So why would someone think they are making some kind of statement by making that stupid comment. Anyone that clicks on your name takes you to your FaceBook page. Unless you are real coward, I don’t think you are placing phony photos on your page.

    Gordo–Looked you up. Still don’t care, not an impressive vitae. Maybe if I were one of those fools who idolized the King of the “B’s”, I might fall at your feet. As it is, I just fell down laughing.

    And I would google that phrase because . . . ?

    And thanks for the answer to my question. You’re suffering the heartache of uncontrolled expectoration and while that renders you disgusting, we should still empathize with your condition. Have a quarter, little boy.
