In the months after the 2011 Tsunami disaster in Japan, a number of videos of the disaster appeared on YouTube, posted by people who were there.
I remember watching one such video. It showed a multi-story house being swept away, and the camera followed it as the house went by and began to break up. But as the house went by, if you looked in one of the windows... you could clearly see a terrified person looking out.
The person who posted the video probably didn’t notice the person in the window when they uploaded it. But a few viewers in the comments did, and pointed it out with a timestamp. Soon after this was pointed out, the video disappeared from YouTube, and I have not seen the video since.
The earthquake and tsunami happened in March 2011, and I remember seeing the video on YouTube a few months later. The video was maybe two or three minutes long and was mostly about the destruction going on rather than this one specific house. My recollection is that the person in the window was probably a woman, likely middle-aged, but that's about it. She was on screen for only a few seconds, but if you freeze framed the moment she was clearly there.
I know that a lot of videos from the tsunami have been taken down over the years, out of respect for those who passed away, so I’m pretty sure this is why the video has never surfaced again. I have looked for it in the years since, but it doesn’t seem to be posted anywhere anymore - or if it is, the segment with the person in the window has been edited out. But if anyone knows what video I am talking about and knows where I can find a copy, please let me know in the comments.
