In this video, the photographer begins at street level - with tsunami sirens wailing - before being forced to retreat up some stairs as the water rises and cars, boats, and even buildings go crashing past. Eventually the whole city seems to be washing away right before your eyes. The destruction caused by the tsunami may rival that of Hiroshima and Nagasakii when Truman dropped the bombs to end WWII, but when the final tally is figured, this will be far more devastating to Japan.
Even before the earthquake and tsunami, many experts were already speculating that Japan's financial troubles, low birthrate, and aging population may topple it from the pinnacle of being one of the worlds most economically powerful countries. It seems to me that this disaster could be the straw which breaks their proverbial back, thus washing away any chance Japan may have had to turn their problems around.
