Nice vid !

Ya can read a good web article from USA TODAY from contributor Chie Matsumoto" Japanese ,US , volunteers help communities rebuild"

Within that article is some boat builder from all places Maine ( east USA state) who built 10 or 20 ? fish boats & which were donated to Japanese fishermen who had their boats destroyed.
Yes they even had a Yamaha outboard..
( do not think they would want a E Tec   ;D)

Lots of footage taken during the tsunami  & one had some guys kinda taking their time to get to safety & the guy who is on top of a strong building is saying things like: " Why are they not running faster? What idiots ! Run faster. Why are they so slow. Idiots. What idiots "

Guess  from his high view he could see the water charging in quickly while the guys on the ground never imagined such a force was nearly upon them.
