Japan Earthquake : Before And After (Page 1 of 2)

On Friday, March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9.0 offshore earthquake unleashed a 23-foot tsunami on northeastern Japan. Homes simply stripped apart, farm areas swept away by the water, airports raised, nuclear power plants dangerously shaken and a concerning death toll made the world tremble and reinforced the idea that nature is the master of this fine planet. 

A bunch of before-and-after aerial photos show what Japan looked like before the earthquake and devastating tsunami and after.
