Tsunami Video 1: Raw Tsunami Video Patong Beach 2004 The video was shot in Patong Beach, Thailand. As it begins, the video shows the surrounding of the beach which is still full of people, then focuses on an approaching wave. As the video reaches the shores, it increases in amplitude and hits whatever it comes across as it makes its way on the mainland. The whole area around the beach becomes flooded as water moves at a high speed towards settlement areas, carrying with it everything that it finds on its way. Video 2: Raw Tsunami Video Phuket Thailand 2004 At the beginning, a man is heard warning of an approaching tsunami. The area around the beach is all chaos as everybody rushes to escape the approaching tsunami which has now arrived at the beach. As a woman rushes to take shelter, the tsunami strikes with huge waves and water moving at very high speeds. An old couple tries to take shelter but is caught by the waves and only has to cling on a metal rail. The wave causes huge damage to the basement floor of the building as it sweeps everything away, including the tables, chairs, utensils.

Even though almost everyone is safe, two people are trapped in the tsunami’s path. One person takes shelter on a nearby building while the second person hangs on a coconut tree. The whole beach area is submerged.

Video 2: Japan Earthquake 2011 – Japan Tsunami 2011.mp4 This video shows a tsunami wave arriving on the mainland and, amazingly, the huge volume of water from the sea tosses cars like they are toys. Many vehicles form part of the debris as the waves move towards the mainland.

Large buildings are also destroyed and dragged along with the water (Rawtsunami, 2009). Video 3: Tsunami Climbing: Incredible video of ship heading into wave in Japan This video features a Japanese coast guard ship facing a wave that is fast approaching land, although still at a distant.
