Shinkansen footage

A quick vid of our train arriving at Mishima station. This is the same line that runs past our house (100 meters away). Everyday trains pass. When the bullet trains rip by at 130 mph they make a high pitched whirring sound and shake our house a little...enough to make the sliding doors rattle slightly. Standing under a railway overpass as a train flys by you can hear and feel the air pressure change. It's wierd and really impressive all at the same time.
