New Video of 2011's Japanese Tsunami

It's been more than two years since a devastating tsunami hit Japan killing almost 16,000 people with more than 2,600 people still missing.  The 133-feet tsunami was triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake on March 11, 2011.

Today, the event is remembered by several names:  "The Great East Japan Earthquake", "2011 Tohoku Earthquake" and "3.11 Earthquake".

New video has just surfaced of the flooding and the fires caused by the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

While the video is about 26 minutes long, the amazing images start right before the eight-minute mark.
