At 2:46 PM on a quiet Friday afternoon, the ground beneath Japan began to move like nothing in recorded history ever had.

Few people know that the earthquake was only the beginning. What followed in the next sixty minutes would become one of the deadliest, most expensive, and most misunderstood disasters of the modern era, a triple catastrophe of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown that pushed an entire nation to the brink.

This is the story of the 2011 Japan Tsunami, told through the eyes of the people who lived it. A mother fleeing with her son as her house shook apart. A man who filmed the wave approaching, never imagining he'd barely outrun it. A school of two hundred children and teachers who waited too long to run. And fifty ordinary plant workers who chose to stay inside a collapsing nuclear facility rather than walk away.
