This Woman Was Swept Away by a TSUNAMI - and Survived

Iwasaki Akiko (Okamisan) was taken by the tsunami, on March 11th 2011 after Japan was hit with one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history. (Her village was destroyed: https://youtu.be/RqYXKLvFq9s​) She has been telling her story for 10 years now, and was kind enough to share a walkthrough of exactly how everything happened. This is the first and only time she has ever shared her story in this format. Follow along as we hear her talk about the 3.11 earthquake, how she was swept away by the water, and how she survived..
