The Earthquake in Japan
There are lots of posts up all over the net about the devastating 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan (there have been nearly 400 earthquakes off the coast of Japan in the last week, 34 of them have been of magnitude 6 and higher). I just thought I would post the links, images, and videos that I found must striking.
A tsumani triggered by a powerful earthquake makes its way to sweep part of Sendai airport in northern Japan.
