^That video is from Kamaishi city and actually occured the morning after the 9.0 quake. There was a risk of tsunamis for days afterwards. Just checking on NHK they have reported about 200 quakes and aftershocks registered at level 5 or higher since the big quake, which has obviously made the rescue efforts more difficult.

not sure if these before/after slider pictures have been posted in the thread but high quality easy to use. It's crazy how destructive it was in some of the places, looks like they've been through months of bombing in a war.

Is it unusual to see my heart beating in my chest like an xray?

Can that house be claimed under the seagoing vessels act? If abandoned for 48 hours, it can be claimed right?

Sorry to kind of derail this abit but..... I just wanted to perhaps suggest if you can help those who need Japan. Text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to Donate $10 to help those in need in Japan.

Im in no way associated with Red Cross I just believe that its a cause that can help people in times of need, $.91 for every dollar goes directly to helping. For me its as simple as not buying a lunch for one day of the week.
