On Friday, March 11, 2011 at 2:46 p.m. (JST), a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck Japan. It was located in the Pacific Ocean 231 miles northeast of Tokyo at a shallow depth of 15.2 miles. It was the largest and longest earthquake in Japan's recorded history. The earthquake caused the most damage in the Tōhoku Region on Honshu Island the worst.
The earthquake caused tsunami started hitting Japan's Northeastern coast between 10 to 90 minutes after the primary shaker ended. The tsunami waves reached nearly 70 feet in some seaside cities and towns. Many major harbors and ports, including their breakwaters and dikes, were destroyed entire.
The island of Oshima and its 3,000 residents are included in the Kesennuma city limits. Oshima was isolated after the tsunami due to damaged ferry connections. After the tsunami fuel used by the fishing boats spilled from ruptured storage tanks and caught fire. The flames engulfed the tanks containing the fuel and burned tsunami debris floating on the not completely receded waters. The fires spread and burned for four days. Officials said as of April 22, 2011 the city had confirmed 837 deaths with 1,196 missing.
The Japan Coast Guard released this video into the public domain in April 2011.
REMASTERED & RESTORED:
Video returned to original quality level, contrast and saturation; audio corrected and repaired to two track stereo.
Standing Strong -- Kesennuma
The natural disaster of March 11, 2011 left over 400 kilometers of the Tohoku coastline devastated. Thousands of lives and livelihoods connected to the seas were lost to the ocean. The ocean that brought devastation to the shores destroyed over 300 fishing ports, swept away hundreds of processing plants, market places, homes and all lifelines to outside world is also the source of life that has sustained these communities for generations. The duality of nature is something coastal people of Tohoku understand. Living with natural disasters, enduring devastation, rebuilding in the aftermath, relying on the resources of the ocean for sustenance, never severing the link between the ocean and life on land, is cyclical through time and has been passed down through the generations. How to rebuild from this once in a thousand year scale of natural disaster though is something none were prepared for, nor have the answers for, yet.
