1896年6月15日的黄昏,滔天巨浪持续翻滚着向日本东北部的海岸袭来。那些目击者拼命地发出警报,他们大喊着“海啸!海啸!”——日本人对这种由于地震引发的巨大潮汐的称呼。但是很少有人能够听到,因为巨浪发出的轰鸣声就像远远的炮声一样盖住了人们声音。当滔天巨浪扑上海岸的时候,就如同一堵高达24米的黑色水墙。几分钟后,当潮水缓慢退去时,留给这个曾经喧闹的渔村的只剩下泥浆和木头碎片。海啸摧毁了原来的一切。 Twilight on June 15, 1896, monstrous waves continued tumbling to the coast of northeastern Japan hit. The witnesses desperately sent out an alarm, they shouted “tsunami! Tsunami!” - The Japanese call for such a huge earthquake triggered by the tide. But few people can hear it, because the roar of the waves cover the voices of people as far as cannon sounds. When the monstrous waves hit the coast, it is like a black water wall of up to 24 meters. A few minutes later, when the tide receded slowly, only the remains of mud and wood left in this once noisy fishing village. The tsunami destroyed everything.
