A 8.9 magnitude earthquake, one of the largest ever, struck off the coast of Japan today, causing serious damage and spawning a deadly tsunami. Scores of on-the-scene videos are being posted to YouTube and many have been curated by CitizenTube and in partnership with Storyful. You can view them all here, but below are a few dramatic clips:

UPDATE
Buildings and trains sway as the earthquake strikes:
Video from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration depicting the spread of waves across the Pacific after the quake:
Seismic activity is the result of a solar flare on 13-15 February 2011. The largest number of thermographs (Portable Thermal Imaging Cameras), to search for people under the rubble by fixing heat of the human body, have the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Мost of these cameras mounted on military equipment. Some quantity of IR cameras have their manufacturers in warehouses. Dubai can help to Japan more than any other. because in Dubai is concentrated 20% of construction equipment (mostly cranes) that may needed to clearing concrete rubble. Аdequate logistics for the delivery of this equipment has the U.S. Army and the operating companies of largest aircrafts An-124.
Seeing the buildings move like that is extremely scary, you would not catch me a mile near one waving that much... I'm glad they're intact though, great engineering!

I don't know, how Russia can help Japan, with our bears and idiots, but... they have undertaken something about it)
I just think Japanese construction are very well done! All buildings are shaken, but nothing breaks. Impressive.
