Tsunami Video

It's morbid, maybe, but I've been looking for video of the tsunami hitting -- I've always wondered what it would look like. I just found three linked from this page. The first one is particularly intense. Looks like someone has mirrored them farther down.

I watched these last night. Mostly, I'm shocked at the last one -- the way the cameraman panicks and runs, but clearly not far. In each case, the people shooting the footage seemed to assume they were well above water level, but s/he seems to be the only one who was wrong. Given how the tape ends, I'm very curious what happened to the cameraman.

I haven't viewd any of this...

...I'm not sure I can handle it very well, but this looks like a clearinghouse link for videos:

Excellent, thank you.
