Japan Tsunami

In 2011 Japan was hit by a super tsunami triggered by the largest earthquake in 140 years. At 2:46 pm on March 11th, a massive magnitude 9.0 - 9.1 undersea megathrust earthquake struck near the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku. The earthquake was something many people had never seen and in fact, it was the 4th most powerful quake since the start of modern record-keeping. Because the earthquake occurred at sea the resulting tsunami generated waves over 130 feet tall!

That headed toward land at a searing 435 miles per hour. By the time they made landfall the entire world was watching and countless videos exist of these massive waves obliterating neighborhoods and causing an absolutely devastating loss of life: in total 15,000 people died in the flood that caused an estimated $235 billion US in damages, to this day it is the costliest natural disaster in history. And if you thought this wave was epic, just wait until you see our #1 entry, a wave so massive and so unpredictable that you'll have to see it to believe it!!

Sloppy Container Ship

Not too many things can take on the true open ocean and live to tell about it, one of the few things that can are cargo ships. To understand how these ships tackle massive waves it’s important to understand the sheer size of a container ship, Costco for instance operates a fleet of 11 ships that are 1,312 feet long and 192 feet wide. So what’s the worst that can happen? In these videos, we can see how these mammoth waves violently slam this ship, unfortunately, while it all seems fine at first

we can see how the water overwhelms cargo, sweeping containers worth of consumer goods into the sea, in fact, it is estimated that 1,382 of these containers spill into the world’s oceans every year, causing unimaginable environmental impact and costing insurance companies billions of dollars. Given that an individual shipping container can weigh upwards of 10,000 pounds and sits atop a 100-foot high deck, the sheer size and power of these waves are evident from the footage.
