Historic 2011 Japanese Tsunami Captured Footage

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude undersea earthquake off Japan's northeastern coast unleashed a catastrophic tsunami with waves up to 40 meters, obliterating towns, displacing hundreds of thousands, and triggering the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis with reactor meltdowns and radiation leaks, resulting in over 15,000 deaths, numerous injuries, and widespread economic devastation, prompting Japan to invest heavily in reconstruction, taller sea walls, and enhanced early warning systems to bolster future disaster preparedness.
