That makes sense, though. To do otherwise would be pretty dumb for a tsunami situation.

But yeah, the handheld telephoto zoom from a safe location is definitely on the Japanese Disaster TV bingo card. That said, I appreciate that they just keep repeating the same warnings and data, rather than the ridiculous speculation that the US news media engages in when they get bored.

I mean, they could at least fly some drones over to the beach for some B-roll.

It would take too long to fax back the Ultra HD footage taken with optics we can't even comprehend exist.
