Amazing HD Video Of The Japanese Tsunami Shot From Inside A Vehicle Caught In The Waves (NEW VIDEO)
This is a must see.
I was sent this remarkable video by someone in Japan by email this morning. It was uploaded to youtube only Monday. The action begins at the 40-second mark.
Text below is from youtube.
"Yu Muroga is a Japanese driver. Like most people of his area, he did not feel threatened by the tsumani, as he felt he was far enough from the coast. So he continued to driving. The HD camera mounted on the dashboard has not only captured the shock but also the moments that followed, where many drivers were stranded by the waters of the tsunami."
See all 4 of the Japanese tsunami videos...
