Fuck You Tsunami

Centerfield Mar 24 2011 10:59 AM

This is Hideaki Akaiwa. He was at work when the tsunami ravaged through his hometown. He came back to find his home underwater, and his wife and mother missing. So he does what anyone of us would have done, which is to find scuba gear and swim into the tsunami. He rescued his wife, then later his mother, who will likely give him shit for the rest of his life about how he saved his wife first.

WOW....what a guy ..... think about the videos you saw , wow Akaiwa said he was at work a few miles away when the tsunami hit, and he rushed back to find his neighborhood inundated with up to 10 feet of water. Not willing to wait until the government or any international organization did, or did not, arrive to rescue his wife of two decades — whom he had met while they were surfing in a local bay — Akaiwa got hold of some scuba gear. He then hit the water, wended his way through the debris and underwater hazards and managed to reach his house, from which he dragged his wife to safety.

Not shown in the picture is the wheelbarrow he uses to carry his balls around in.

Hideaki Akaiwa and Chesley Sullenberger need to get a reality show together.

It'd be called "So You Think You're Hot Shit?", and it would just have the two of them going "Pfffft... amateur" at every contestant.

"So, our next guest is Arthur --- can I call you Art? --- Dungannon, of Halesborough, Mississippi." "Art's fine." "So, Art. You think you're hot shit? What's your story? " "Well, our neighbor's daughter was being attacked by a pit bull, and I..." "Hideaki, what do you think of pit bulls?' "Get the fuck out of here." "I'm sorry, Art. Next we have..."

It's a great picture, and the guy behind reminded me instantly of Jae Weong Seo.
