A devastating tsunami triggered by the biggest earthquake on  record in Japan killed at least 1,000 people along the northeastern  coast on Friday after a wall of water swept away everything in its path.  Thousands of residents were evacuated from an area around a nuclear  plant north of Tokyo after fears of a radiation leak, but officials said  problems with the reactor's cooling system were not at a critical  level. Underscoring grave concerns about the plant, the U.S. air force  delivered coolant to the facility, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary  Clinton said. The unfolding disaster in the wake of the 8.9 magnitude  earthquake and 10-meter (33-feet) high tsunami prompted offers of help  from dozens of countries. China said rescuers were ready to help with  quake relief while President Barack Obama told Japanese Prime Minister  Naoto Kan the United State would assist in any way. Stunning TV footage  showed a muddy torrent of water carrying cars and wrecked homes at high  speed across farmland near the coastal city of Sendai, home to one  million people and which lies 300 km (180 miles) northeast of Tokyo.  Ships had been flung onto a harbor wharf, where they lay helplessly on  their side. Japanese politicians pushed for an emergency budget to fund  relief efforts after Kan asked them to "save the country" . Japan is  already the most heavily indebted major economy in the world, meaning  any funding efforts would be closely scrutinized by financial markets.

Domestic media said the death toll was expected to exceed 1,000, most of  whom appeared to have drowned. The extent of the destruction along a  lengthy stretch of coastline suggested the death toll could rise  significantly. Tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific but were  later lifted for some of the most populated countries in the region,  including Australia, Taiwan and New Zealand. Even in a nation accustomed  to earthquakes, the devastation was shocking. "A big area of Sendai  city near the coast, is flooded. We are hearing that people who were  evacuated are stranded," said Rie Sugimoto, a reporter for NHK  television in Sendai. "About 140 people, including children, were rushed  to an elementary school and are on the rooftop but they are surrounded  by water and have nowhere else to go." The quake, the most powerful  since Japan started keeping records 140 years ago, sparked at least 80  fires in cities and towns along the coast, Kyodo said. Other Japanese  nuclear power plants and oil refineries were shut down and one refinery  was ablaze. Television footage showed an intense fire in the waterfront  area near Sendai. There were also reports that an irrigation dam had  broken and swept away houses in Fukushima prefecture.

The Sendai airport in Japan became flooded. Thus all flights were  shut down. The subway system in Tokyo was closed due to the earthquake.  There were power outages after the earthquake. Also, cell phone systems  became overloaded and thus cut people off from communicating with their  friends and family. This surely led to an air of isolation, which makes  any disaster all the more upsetting. Best wishes to the people of  Japan  as the country recovers from this devastating earthquake. The people  there must still be in shock. Let’s hope Japan gets a lot of  help to get everything running normally again after damage from the  earthquake and tsunami.

At least 93 people have been killed in the devastating  8.9-magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on Friday, according to the  first official death toll from police. The official Kyodo News Agency  reported that about 88 000 people were missing after a tsunami triggered  by the quake swept away houses, farmlands and vehicles. Up to 300  bodies were found in the beach of Sendai, the closest city to the  epicenter of the quake. The city has a population of 74 000. A large  waterfront area near the city is on fire. Houses and other buildings are  also ablaze near the Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture, near Sendai.

A ferocious tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever  recorded slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing at least 60  people as it swept away boats, cars and homes while widespread fires  burned out of control. Tsunami warnings blanketed the entire Pacific, as  far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West  Coast. The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter)  tsunami and was followed by more than 20 aftershocks for hours, most of  them of more than magnitude 6.0. Police said at least 60 people were  killed and 56 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue  climbing given the scale of the disaster. Dozens of cities and villages  along a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) stretch of coastline were shaken by  violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles  (kilometers) from the epicenter. "The earthquake has caused major damage  in broad areas in northern Japan," Prime Minister Naoto Kan said at a  news conference. Japan issued a state of emergency at a nuclear power  plant after its cooling system had a mechanical failure. Trouble was  reported at two other nuclear plants as well, but there was no radiation  leak at any. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the measure at  the nuclear power plant in Fukushima was a precaution and that the  facility was not in immediate danger. Even for a country used to  earthquakes, this one was of horrific proportions because of the tsunami  that crashed ashore, swallowing everything in its path as it surged  several miles (kilometers) inland before retreating. Large fishing boats  and other sea vessels rode high waves into the cities, slamming against  overpasses or scraping under them, snapping power lines along the way.  Upturned and partially submerged vehicles were seen bobbing in the  water. Ships anchored in ports crashed against each other.

The death toll from a massive earthquake that hit the north-east  of Japan on Friday has reached 38, NHK Television reported. The  8.9-magnitude quake that struck about 373 kilometers from the capital  Tokyo sparked a tsunami that hit the Miyagi and Iwate prefectures,  sweeping away houses and cars. A tsunami more than 7.3 meters high hit  the Soma port in the Fukushima Prefecture. Tsunami more than 4 meters  high hit the ports of Kamaishi and Miyako in Iwate Prefecture, the  Meteorological Agency said. A tsunami over 3 meters high was observed at  the Oarai port in the Ibaraki Prefecture, the city of Ishinomaki city  in the Miyagi Prefecture, and the Ofunato port in the Iwate Prefecture.  NHK helicopter footage on live TV showed a large number of houses being  washed away in Miyagi Prefecture and elsewhere. In Soma City in  Fukushima Prefecture, many Oceanside houses are under water. A large  number of buildings and oil facilities can be seen burning in wide areas  of the Pacific coast. NHK showed footage of waves sweeping away  buildings and vehicles as far as 1.5 kilometers inland. Airports were  closed down and train services suspended. More than 4 million homes are  without power. The country's Meteorological Agency is urging people in  quake-hit areas to evacuate to higher ground to avoid tsunamis. More  earthquakes measuring over 7.0 on the Richter scale could occur in and  around Japan within a month, the Meteorological Agency said. The  8.9-magnitude quake that struck about 373 kilometers from the capital  Tokyo sparked a tsunami that hit Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, sweeping  away houses and cars. A 10-meter tsunami subsequently hit the Miyagi  prefecture on Honshu. Honsu's Iwate prefecture was reported to have been  hit by a 4.2-meter tsunami. Dozens of cars fell into the sea when a  highway in Iwate was partly destroyed by the quake.

The 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunamis that hit northern Japan  Friday killed and injured dozens of people besides causing much damage,  officials said. Japan's National Police Agency and officials said at  least 32 people were killed, including 10 in Iwate Prefecture by tsunami  waves, Kyodo News said. Reports of casualties from other regions were  slowly coming in with local officials reporting one death each in  Miyagi, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures. A woman  died when a roof collapsed in Takahagi, Ibaraki Perfecture and a  falling factory wall killed a person in the town of Haga, Tochigi  Prefecture, Kyodo said. The offshore quake, the strongest ever recorded  in Japan, struck at 2.46 p.m. Tokyo time, 81 miles off the coast of  Sendai, capital of Miyagi Prefecture, more than 230 miles from Tokyo, at  a depth of 15 miles. The quake triggered a number of powerful  aftershocks including one with 7.4-magnitude and giant tsunamis, some as  high as 13 feet. Besides deaths and injuries, the disaster also set off  fires at refineries, plants and other sites and forced the shut down of  some of the nuclear power plants. At least 4.4 million homes in the six  quake-hit prefectures remained without power. In Tokyo, trains were not  expected to resume service any time soon. Japanese Defense Minister  Toshimi Kitazawa was quoted as saying the U.S. ambassador had informed  him that U.S. military forces stationed in Japan would be ready to  render any help. Tsunami warnings and watches have been issued for  nearly the entire Pacific region including Russia, Taiwan, the  Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Guam, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. A  CNN report said in several office buildings in Tokyo papers were strewn  all over the floor while people clung onto seats and desks during the  quake. Stock markets in Asia sold off following the disaster and the  Japanese yen, which had been showing much strength lately, also fell.

Japan's top government spokesman and local administrators say  emergencies have been issued at two nuclear power plants over  cooling-system fears in the wake of Friday's giant earthquake. Chief  Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says the nuclear power plant in Fukushima  developed a mechanical failure in the system needed to cool the reactor  after it was shut down after the earthquake. He said there was no  radiation leak. Edano said the measure was a precaution and there was no  radiation leak at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant. He said the facility  was not in immediate danger. Meanwhile, an administrator at the Tohoku  Electric Power Co's Onagawa facility said the process for the cooling  reactor is "not going as planned," adding that "nuclear emergency  situation" has been declared. The company asked people nearby to stay  calm, the official TV news channel NHK reported. A fire broke out at the  plant following the quake, the Kyodo news agency said. Prior to the  Kyodo report, the company had said it had not received information on  whether there had been any problems at the plant after the disaster. At  the Fukushima facility, the site of a Tokyo Electric Power nuclear power  plant, a spokesman on Friday that the plant's reactor cooling system  was working, denying an earlier report that it was malfunctioning.  Miyagi prefecture, where it is located, was one of the areas worst hit  by the tsunami. Kyodo also reported that an emergency core-cooling unit  had been activated at the Fukushima nuclear plant, without giving  further details. The four Japanese nuclear power plants closest to the  epicenter of the quake have been safely shut down, the United Nations  atomic watchdog said Friday. The quake struck just under 250 miles  northeast of Tokyo, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was followed by  more than a dozen aftershocks, one as strong as 7.1. Earlier, Prime  Minister Naoto Kan said the quake caused "major damage" in northeastern  Japan, but that nuclear power facilities in the area were not damaged  and there was no radiation leakage.

A massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake shook Japan on Friday,  unleashing a powerful tsunami that sent ships crashing into the shore  and carried cars through the streets of coastal towns. Multiple injuries  and one death were reported from the Pacific coastal area of Miyagi on  the main Honshu island, police said according to media, and TV footage  showed widespread flooding in the area. The quake hit in the early  afternoon, also strongly shaking buildings in greater Tokyo, the world's  largest urban area with 30 million people. At least six fires were  reported in Tokyo, where the subway system stopped, sirens wailed and  people streamed out of buildings. The first quake struck about 382  kilometres northeast of Tokyo, the U.S. Geological Survey said, revising  the magnitude from an earlier 7.9. Japan is located on the "Pacific  Ring of Fire" and dotted with volcanoes, and Tokyo is situated in one of  its most dangerous areas.

A tsunami warning was issued for Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the Mariana  Islands, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. "An earthquake of this  size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can  strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more distant  coastlines within hours," the centre said in a statement. It also put  the territories of Guam, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands,  Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii under a lower  tsunami watch. People in Vancouver who are looking to contact friends  and family in Japan are advised to register for the Finding Family Links  program at their local Red Cross. "That is the best way to reconnect  with people," said Bas Brusche, spokesman for the Red Cross in B.C. "In  Japan there will be a registration as well." More information on  Restoring Family Links is available here. The yen fell to 83.30 against  the dollar from 82.81 before the quake struck. The mega-city of Tokyo  sits on the intersection of three continental plates — the  Eurasian, Pacific and Philippine Sea plates — which are slowly  grinding against each other, building up enormous seismic pressure.

The government's Earthquake Research Committee warns of a 70 per cent  chance that a great, magnitude-eight quake will strike within the next  30 years in the Kanto plains, home to Tokyo's vast urban sprawl. The  last time a "Big One" hit Tokyo was in 1923, when the Great Kanto  Earthquake claimed more than 140,000 lives, many of them in fires. In  1855, the Ansei Edo quake also devastated the city. More recently, the  1995 Kobe earthquake killed more than 6,400 people. More than 220,000  people were killed when a 9.1-magnitude quake hit off Indonesia in 2004,  unleashing a massive tsunami that devastated coastlines in countries  around the Indian Ocean as far away as Africa. Small quakes are felt  every day somewhere in Japan and people take part in regular drills at  schools and workplaces to prepare for a calamity. Nuclear power plants  and bullet trains are designed to automatically shut down when the earth  rumbles and many buildings have been quake-proofed with steel and  ferro-concrete at great cost in recent decades.

It's caused at least one massive wave - called a Tsunami - that  has washed away cars, boats and even buildings in the area. The quake  was thought to be the biggest in Japan for 140 years, and could be felt  in the capital city Tokyo. It's not clear how many people have been  injured, but lot's of buildings are damaged and a big power station has  been forced to shut down.  The Japanese Prime Minister feels the  earthquake The earthquake was so powerful it was even felt by the Prime  Minister of Japan in Tokyo The center of the quake was around 240 miles  away from Tokyo, but there are still reports it shook buildings in the  city. Large parts of the coast have been put on Tsunami warning, as  people are worried that more huge waves could hit Japan. The Richter  scale is used to measure the strength of Earthquakes around the world.  It's a scale of 1 to 10 and the latest to hit Japan has been measured at  8.9 - so it was really strong.

Japan was hit by a series of powerful quakes on Friday, with two major quakes measuring 8.8 and 7.1 on the Richter scale. The first 8.8-magnitude quake struck off the country's largest Honshu Island's eastern coast, 373 kilometers to the north-east of Tokyo. The second major tremor, measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, occurred 505 kilometers to the north-east of Tokyo. A 10-meter tsunami subsequently hit the Miyagi prefecture on Honshu, local television reported. Honsu's Iwate prefecture was reported to have been hit by a 4.2-meter tsunami. Dozens of cars fell into the sea when a highway in Iwate was partly destroyed by the quake, Japan's NHK TV channel reported. There have been no reports on casualty figures. Tremor from the first quake can still be felt in Tokyo, a RIA Novosti correspondent said. A tsunami warning has also been issued for another Honshu prefecture, Fukushima. Authorities in Russia's Far Eastern Sakhalin Island also issued a tsunami warning, the local emergencies services said in a statement. Coastal areas of three of the Sakhalin region's districts may be hit by tsunami, the statement said. Japan has been hit by a series of earthquakes in the past few days, including a 7.3-magnitude quake that occurred off Japan's northeastern coast on Wednesday.

Japan was struck by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday, unleashing a 13-foot (4-meter) tsunami that washed away cars and tore away buildings along the coast near the epicenter. There were reports of injuries in Tokyo. In various locations along Japan’s coast, TV footage showed massive damage from the tsunami, with dozens of cars, boats and even buildings being carried along by waters. A large ship swept away by the tsunami rammed directly into a breakwater in Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture, according to footage on public broadcaster NHK. Officials were trying to assess damage, injuries and deaths from the quake but had no immediate details. The quake that struck at 2:46 p.m. was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks, including a 7.4-magnitude one about 30 minutes later. The U.S. Geological Survey upgraded the strength of the first quake to a magnitude 8.9, while Japan’s meteorological agency measured it at 7.9. The meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for the entire Pacific coast of Japan. NHK was warning those near the coast to get to safer ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami warning was in effect for Japan, Russia, Marcus Island and the Northern Marianas. A tsunami watch has been issued for Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and the U.S. state of Hawaii. The quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), about 80 miles (125 kilometers) off the eastern coast, the agency said. The area is 240 miles (380 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo. In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and workers poured into the street for safety. TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo. In central Tokyo, trains were stopped and passengers walked along the tracks to platforms. The ceiling in Kudan Kaikan, a large hall in Tokyo, collapsed, injuring an unknown number of people, NHK said. Footage on NHK from their Sendai office showed employees stumbling around and books and papers crashing from desks. It also showed a glass shelter at a bus stop in Tokyo completely smashed by the quake and a weeping woman nearby being comforted by another woman. Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday. Thirty minutes after the quake, tall buildings were still swaying in Tokyo and mobile phone networks were not working. Japan’s Coast Guard has set up task force and officials are standing by for emergency contingencies, Coast Guard official Yosuke Oi said. “I’m afraid we’ll soon find out about damages, since the quake was so strong,” he said

Japan has issued its top tsunami warning after a major offshore quake measuring 8.8 hit on Friday, strongly swaying buildings in Tokyo and sending people fleeing into the streets. The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast, warning of a tsunami of up to six meters. A four-meter tsunami has already engulfed parts of Kamaishi on Japan's Pacific coast and residents have been ordered to rush to high ground. "An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours," the agency said. It also put the territories of Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii under a lower tsunami watch. The quake struck about 382 kilometers north-east of Tokyo at a depth of 10 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said. Smoke could be seen rising from a building in Odaiba, a Tokyo suburb, and scores of cars are floating in Iwate prefecture harbor in northern Japan. Police in Miyagi prefecture have reported numerous injuries. Shinkansen bullet trains stopped when the quake struck, while the nuclear power plant in Miyagi prefecture stopped operating. Power has been cut in Sendai city, where there are numerous reports of gas leaks. Narita airport has temporarily closed and the runways are being inspected for damage. The government has set up a crisis management team at the prime minister's office.
