Terrible Five Minutes

A friend sent me this video of a terrible last 5 minutes in a town's life.

Even if you do not understand Japanese, you can hear the mounting terror and unbelieving shouts as the tsunami rolls over their homes and other buildings. The wave picks them up like toys and you can see the floating houses being pushed over an embankment and pushed into rice fields like little Lego blocks in the bath tub. You can clearly see the distant waves up to three and four stories high.

And at the end, a few people running for their lives, trying to get up the hill. You can hear those on the hill shouting for everyone to GO HIGHER.... and screams in the distance.

So sad....
