Clip of houses and farmland swallowed by tsunami was filmed in March 2011, not January 2024
A clip of waves washing away buildings and swallowing up fields has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times in social media posts that falsely claim it shows a tsunami triggered by a 7.5-magnitude earthquake off Japan's western coast on January 1, 2024. The clip does show damage caused by a tsunami, but the footage was filmed in Miyagi prefecture after a devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan in March 2011.
