US Army photo taken March 19 2011 of wrecked cars at Sendai Airport in 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. The airport in the Miyagi Prefecture was badly damaged when water flooded in, submerged large areas and hurled vehicles around. Photo by Jose Sanchez Alonso. Editorial use only.
