This video was taken by Yu Moroga with a dash-mounted HD camera while he was taking someone on a tour. He, at first, did not feel threatened by the tsunami as it was far enough from the coast but ......

Maybe it's wrong but I was laughing at the windshield wipers still going as the car is floating around.

Yikes! That is intense.  :o  :rotz:  I would be absolutely terrified...not knowing if I should stay in or get out.

It's amazing how long those cars float.

I don't know what would be better, geting out or staying. Probably take my chances out of the car but, until you have to make that choice, I just don't know what I would do.

Yikes is right !!!!  Man, what do you do? Stay in and risk drowning or get out, deal with all the debris and head for the nearest tree and/or building.

if you leave, needs to be sure will be on a firm surface, because you can make the mistake to keep floating between cars and get smashed between two of them

My thoughts exactly! They sure seal 'em up better than they used to.

I guess I couldn't really say until I was actually in the situation, but after viewing the video, I'd probably be more inclined to remain in my floating clown car for a while. ;) 
Man, I couldn't imagine that sort of scenario in real life. I'm sure that at first it would seem like a scene in a movie, but then it would keep going...

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

ALL of the footage that I have seen makes my heart sink. This was a terrible tragedy and many will never recover from it.

FUNNY HOW THE FILMS overrate a tsunami with giant waves! and the reality even being slower is the same impressive.

The camera man's dilema reminds me of an old Clash song..........

Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
