Disasters of the Century - Season 1 Episode 2 Hilo Tsunami
0.00 23 minutes This tsunami struck Hilo Bay in a succession of seven waves for a duration of 15 minutes. The downtown area of Hilo was torn apart and flooded by the massive wave. However, the brunt of the tsunami was felt by a bay front residential community called Shinmachi, or "new town." The entire district was washed away except for a Coca-Cola bottling plant.
