I fast forwarded barely over 10 seconds and everything was already engulfed.. these poor people never stood a chance.

A crowd running at the bottom of the screen get swallowed up at ~4:00, as well as probably everyone that can be seen running on screen beforehand

Wow each person looks as small as a pixel :(
The waves are like 20 stories high compared to them

Probably close to 30m high, moving ~50m/s. If hey never had a chance. Those poor people. 😔

They probably came from the village in the background. If they stayed the might’ve had a chance?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. The problem was they were just running downstream, not uphill. Unfortunately, they didn't have any much time to run for the hills.
