Breaking news on BBC and the rest of the world currently as Japan is struck by a earthquake and 10m high tsunami.
The footage is incredible as ever, almost unbelievable as we're so used to Hollywood cgi special effects.
Watching a mountain of water complete with flames steadily marching inland carrying everything includng fire in it's wake is quite startling to see.
I watched earlier in disbelief as water as far as you could see moved steadily inland through fields, as cars oblivious to the danger drove along nearby roads as the sleeping giant moved ever closer.
I'm not sure if the wave being featured is the actual wave or waves generated afterwards but they are insanely clean, barrelling left and right as they head towards the coast. More to come as both bigger and smaller islands prepare themselves for a hit from NZ to Mexico. I hope everyone stays safe.
You can only imagine how the indonesians are feeling right now. It must be terrifying especially if you live on a low lying island out at sea and have nowhere to flee to.
I probably shouldn't type this but after the initial shock of seeing the Tsunami hitting my thoughts turned to the dolphin and whale populations which are mercilessly persecuted by Japanese fishing fleets.
So I checked where the infamous 'Cove' fishing village - Taiji is located - much further to the south but I wonder now, if our oceans are a little safer for our marine life, for a few years at least?
