US Navy photo taken March 15 2011 of a house lying upside down on its roof among debris in Ofunato, Japan, in the aftermath of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. 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.
