  1. thats what you get for living on a island that moves like it does. that why i was born here in Ontario,Canada. Its safe her environment wise. Now some of you will say but you didnt even pick to live there but im actually a rare case story of being able to walk and talk four hours into my life,by week two i had a wife and twins on the way,now im ripe old 35 with a boy who is my grea great great great great great great not so great grandson, he a mid level it tech,so far the least successful in my family,if he doesn't make six figures by the time hes 3yrs old we will have to end his long life,but now i decide to spare him and send him to china to help out in repairing the great red sun nation,see im a good person.

  2. Nature in the raw is seldom mild.

  3. JAPAN GO BACK NOW TO GOD….JUST CALL THE NAME OF THE LORD…OH LORD JESUS….

  4. OMG how terrifying! More and more is coming out as the days pass from this disaster. I am so sorry for those who have lost family and friends! I hope people have warm places to stay and plenty of food and water!

  5. craziest landlside ive seen documented this close. glad they didnt get swept by it.

  6. First world countries get more empathy it seems

  7. Those in the houses crushed by the mudslide had no time to escape. My condolences to those whose family, friends, and neighbors perished.

  8. Not necessarily appropriate for Lester to always pop in at the end to say thanks. A simple NBC logo would suffice.

  9. My thoughts and prayers to all the people in Japan!

  10. I bet that man was grateful to have lived through such an extreme MOMENT.

  11. Blurred faces? 😂😂😂

  12. Sending my sincere and deepest sympathies to the affected people (victims) in Japan.

  13. Prayers going out to all, be safe!

  14. こわ~..!  海からも、山からも..津波が押し寄せる…いったい..どうしろと…?

  15. The person taking the video wasn't caught in the landslide – fortunately, because there was no guarantee a sudden surge wouldn't reach him. I swear, if there's a modern Pompeii future archeologists will find crowds of people holding up their smart phones.

  16. Heartbreaking. I can’t imagine their horror they went through while celebrating new years at home… and this happens💔

  17. PRAY for Japan from INDONESIA 🙏🏻🇮🇩

  18. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
