Aerial view of Sukuiso, Japan, showing emergency services amid the devastation caused by the earthquake + tsunami in March 2011.


US Navy aerial photo taken March 18 2011 of Sukuiso in Japan showing the destruction caused by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The bright red emergency service trucks which have taken search and rescue workers to the scene stand out in marked contrast to the devastated grey surroundings. The magnitude offshore quake which occurred east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tohoku on March 11 triggered tsunami waves up to 10m high which destroyed large areas and killed thousands of people.
