Swallowed by the Tsunami: Horrifying New Footage

The sheer panic of people trying to flee the Japanese tsunami has been captured in a newly-released video that shows the life and death race to outrun the wave.

The fate of some of those in the footage is unknown as the water rises so quickly that they simply disappear in the swell carrying cars and buildings.

Residents from the town, believed to be called Minami-sanriku, are seen running up the side of a hill to safety as the water behind them closes in on them.

I haven't been part of an anti-nuclear power movement. In fact I worked in one plant here locally----and our unionized workers were aghast at the liberal anti-nuke protestors that often showed up to protest.

But with the magnitude of the nuclear power disaster in Japan why not ask if there aren't better ways to generate power? Our plant was situated in a highly dangerous seismic zone---so conceivably we could have had a similar disaster to Japan (except with only one reactor) and uncomfortably close to two metro areas, each with 2 million+ people.

Time will eventually get the flaws worked out of wind power or ocean wave generation. By then, though, China may have cornered the market for production.
