Video zeigt einen Tsunami nach dem Erdbeben Anfang 2024 in Japan.
Publisher’s rating: Die Aufnahmen sind alt. Sie zeigen den Tsunami, der am 11. März 2011 die Stadt Miyako im Nordosten Japans getroffen hat. Nach der Erdbebenserie vom 1. Januar 2024 wurde eine Tsunami-Warnung herausgegeben, die jedoch einen Tag später wieder aufgehoben wurde.
The footage shows the tsunami that struck Miyako on March 11, 2011, rather than an event caused by the January 2024 earthquake. The review identifies the clip through its appearance in an ANN News retrospective and comparisons with contemporaneous images.

The review says the video combines footage from two earlier disasters, rather than showing aftermath of the Jan. 1 earthquake: a 2011 tsunami and the July 3, 2021 Atami landslide.
