TSUNAMI CAMERA FOUND…


Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 11 March 2011 earthquake hit in Japan. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the Tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job.


The HD camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake, but also the moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the Tsunami.


Muroga escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater. His car and the camera have only recently been recovered by the police.

The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this fascinating footage.

Thank you for sharing this video, it is amazing, but it has been around for quite some time, I think the first time I saw this was about a couple of years ago.

It is amazing. Can you imagine this happening to you? There you are, just driving around, and a minute later everything is floating. That is a lot to process. What I found odd was that I didn't see any people in the video. No drivers, nobody escaping their cars. Maybe that was edited out as too disturbing.

That would make sense since the earthquake and tsunami were 3 years ago. However, this is the first time for me.

The caption says that the car and camera were recently discovered by the police. The camera was damaged, but a video expert was able to restore the footage.

I got a kick out of the way the driver of the car in front got out when the flooding began and then went back to close the door.
