a friend sent me the following. Once more MUST SEE TV:
A Just Found Tsunami Camera
Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 11 March 2011 earthquake hit Japan. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job.
The HD camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake, but also the moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the tsunami. He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater. His car and the camera have only recently been recovered by police. The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this footage.

All pretty amazing - from the floatability of cars to the dependability of windshield wipers, to the ability to retrieve this footage and joint the owner with the car. Oh, and the tsunami.
