Default Video showing GS Destroyed in Tsunami

It's a very sad thing to watch a 2GS get destroyed by mother nature. But the saddest part is the human and financial loss resulting from it. This should be a wake up call for us humans on earth to prepare for events like this to happen because this isn't the first time, or the last time something like this will happen.

Here's a video and in the first 30 sec you can see a Silver 2GS get washed away.

Pray for the people in Japan. And donate anything you can because they need help right now.

UMMM wow that is insane, also the guy video taping captures a couple of seconds of video of a man or women on a roof top across the way. In the end of the video that roof top is gone/submerged. I hope that person made it.

I know you meant well bro but that gs means nothing. Many people have died or loss everything they held dear in their lives, even in the video you posted their was a person on the roof of their house who got washed away by the tsunami, this car should be last thing on anyone's mind

That's not a 2GS or a Lexus at that. It looks like one but it's far from it. If you look closely, the car has a rear wiper blade. Crazy footage though, it's like those cars weigh nothing when forced by mother nature.

Hope you guys paid more close attention to the people standing at the building at 0:37/38 seconds and look closer again at the end of the video.

My condolences and prayers to the whole Japan.

Now after looking at the footage it actually isn't a 2GS but looks very similiar. This thread wasn't posted just to mourn the loss of structures or cars. That is the LAST thing i'm thinking about. The destructive powers of mother nature area always underestimated. It's just crazy to think about the power of this tsunami. It litterally washed away all the buildings except for a few of the bigger concrete ones and the water leveled completely submerged a few others. Let's pray for those caught in this terrible disaster and for the future of Japan.

This is only the beginning of this. There is still a huge amount of work the government has to do to even just catch up. There's thousands of people missing, nuclear reactors close to full meltdown, no electricitly, hundreds of thousands homeless. They need all the help they can get!

Well that could be bad as well. As those seawater logged motors and electrical parts get stripped out and shipped over here.. Making sure your getting a good GTE may be a bit more challenging.
