Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
University of Nebraska-Lincoln economics professor Carlos Asarta was on the observation deck of the 1,091 foot Tokyo Tower when the 2011 earthquake and tsunami hit. He captured the reactions of people on the tour. Asarta can be seen at 1:27 in this video. Hours later, Asarta recounts the experience in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDRXpUBQMdo

I have to wonder about the mentality of some people,this is not a criticism to who was filming but those people who are filming or just standing right next to the windows...I'm sure those windows are strong but this is an earthquake,your near the top of a very tall building,one guy can barely keep his balance while filming near window,you have to wonder what they are thinking,its a natural extinct to get away from windows during an earthquake,glass can break,even employees came along an told them to get away from the windows,so why would you be standing right next to them during a quake,especially at that height.

After experiencing a 5 sec earthquake which shook my bed, I was already saying to myself this is an out of the world experience, and here the Japan earthquake, once it started doesn't seem to end.

いや，確かに情けないと思うけど， 死の恐怖感じるほどなんじゃないかなぁ，東京タワーは よりにもよって地震のときには居たくない所の一つだよね

Thanks 2 this The Tokyo tower's point got bent

This clip gave me an intense feeling inside of me! I was up there in the Tower just 9 days before this happened.I waited 36 years of my life to fly to Japan...and when I finally did it it was just days away from this Earthquake. Make me feel like a very small person in natures powerfull grip.

had been there just a few months before. keep wondering how I would have felt if I was there on that moment. amazing how the buildings in Tokyo can withstand so well such strong shakes. I might have pissed my pants, but I would probably feel very safe up there.

高いところは怖いだろう 先が曲がったらしいな

叫んでるのは修学旅行か何かの子供ではないかな

めっちゃ遠吠えみたいな声で「だあああすけでえええええええ！」って言ってる奴いるなｗ まぁタワーの先端が曲がるほど揺れたんだし気持ちは分かるけど、周囲の人全てを怯えさせるから歯を食いしばってガマンしてほしいわｗ

My sister has been to japan several times, and Tokyo Tower as well. We realized today how scary it must have been to be in the tower at that time. I was surprised to find this video, and very pleased to see everyone was safe.
