Sweet Christ, the part that really gets me is when the cameraman turns around and the whole little neighborhood he'd filmed just a minute or two earlier is GONE. Just fucking gone. My god.
seriously, i guess it must have held since the camera survived but i'd love to know what kind of building they're on that didn't get pushed over or undermined
I saw a retransmission of the Japanese evening news last week showing a little of the aftermath. An elderly couple were searching for their son, who worked in the local post office. They found the three story concrete building no problem. The only problem was, it was obvious that water had flowed through the top floor (I think I spotted a few cars jammed in there). The old man pretty succinctly said "Well, I guess that's it." Sad.
