The AP describes this as an amateur video "that captures the force of the tsunami's arrival in Japan. The waves devastate entire blocks in Miyagi Prefecture, with some residents narrowly escaping..."It’s astonishing the rate at which powerful political and physical upheavals have been coming at us. Makes me wonder whether there’s more going on here than meets the human eye.
Gizmodo calls this video "the scariest first-person video of the tsunami yet."
The only adjective I can come up with is remorseless.
