Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 8.11
earthquake hit. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far
inland the tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job
after the earthquake struck. The HD camera mounted on his dashboard
captured not only the earthquake but also the moment he and several
other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the tsunami. He escaped from
the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk
underwater. His car and the camera have only recently been recovered
by the police. The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was
able to retrieve this footage.
