Typhoon Jebi caused all sorts of damage when the storm — the most powerful in 25 years to hit the country — tore through western Japan earlier this month.
The typhoon wreaked havoc wherever it went, even damaging the roof of Kyoto Station, sending shards of glass raining down on people below.
Many on Twitter expressed shock at the footage. However, among the responses were messages from media organizations. Japanese TV programs (and some international journalists) reached out to the user who uploaded the video, @CRAZY904kaz, asking to use the footage on television or get in touch via direct message. The response from other netizens ranged from condemnation of their desire for sensational imagery over people’s safety, amusing images and simple utterances of “Dame” (“Stop”).
