This is just ridiculous, I don't know about you guys but all the video's I saw of Japan were nothing like this. I suggest you guys watch the whole thing, crazy to think that all of this just happened within 6 minutes.

"5,308 people like this"

seriously? why would anyone like that? i get it that the footage that the person captured is mind blowing, but still.

I was wondering that too...I'm going to tell myself that he was ok, somehow.

That video is like something straight out of an apocalypse movie, it's crazy to think it's real.

Exactly what I thought. 5445 people liked this when I watched it. WTF is wrong with people. That is unbelievable what that water did in such a small amount of time.

whats bizarre is how you see it at the beginning and think "oh that doesnt look so bad." Then 5 minutes later a house is floating past, and the water has risen exponentially.

    In OP's video, I thought about hitting the downrail the the camera catches glimpses of sometimes.

    I just called my Japanese friend to make sure he was okay after the earthquake and all he did was go on about his social life.

    Just kept going on and on about a huge rave.

    the video description says "like" it to keep the video recent. 

    this is how social media works now.  just because you click a button doesn't necessarily mean you like what is happening in the video, just that you are a patron of the page.

    and yes, i'm aware it's incredibly stupid because the button itself says the word "like".  but its all about the hits and that sort of shit.  studying this in my advertising class riiiiight meow.
