(32,083 posts)It was really scary to watch the reactor explosions. And, it's frightening to know that the situation there is still ongoing two years later. Many of the videos I saw right after the earthquake showed the waves coming in elsewhere. One could see the water rising against multi-story buildings, one floor after another, while smaller buildings got covered with water. What saddened me was all the cars and vans that were being carried along by the waves. I kept hoping all of that their occupants were able to get to high ground before they got swept away. I still do, two years later, even though I know better.
Another thing that I found really unsettling were the huge whirlpools. NOVA featured footage a large ship spinning toward the center of one of them.
