Great East Japan Earthquake
Already 2 years have passed since the catastrophe.
March 8, 2013, Minami-Sanriku, Japan - The Shimizuhama Station of local Kesennuma Line is nothing but ruins of concrete and steel structure in Minami-Sanriku township, Miyagi Prefecture, on March 8, 2013. The township along the Pacific coast is one of the worst hit areas when the Magnitude 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami struck the nation's northeast region, leaving more than 15,000 people dead and ravaging wide swaths of coastal towns and villages two years ago on March 11.
