Words implied after saying "終わりだ。何も。" in footage of the Mar. 2011 tsunami?


In [video footage](https://youtu.be/eeLlySDmjuw?t=2m40s) of the tsunami in
March, 2011, someone said while watching the beginning of the destruction of a
harbor:

> 終わりだ。何も。

Is he thinking

> 終わりだ。何も _残らない_ 。

So the correct translation is:

> This is the end of everything here. Nothing will remain.

To inject explicit "future tense", could I say something like this:

> 終わりだ。何も残らなさそうだ。

But that "future tense" Japanese sounds stilted and weird even in writing?




Yes the guy is actually saying 「終わりだ、なにも」, which is almost ungrammatical.
Perhaps he was too exited to say the sentence until the end. I guess the
person would have wanted to say 「終わりだ、何もかも」, which is the same as 「何もかも終わりだ」
("Everything is over/finished"). We don't have to think of the verb 残らない here.

In addition, 何も残らなそうだ (="It seems that ...") is too long and a person in a
situation like this would not say something like that.
