Indeed a horrible disaster.

I wonder what the damage at Matsushima air base will be as it is near Sendai and only a few hundred meters from the sea!

Matsushima A.B. was under the water.
You can see 3 F-2Bs in the water.

OMG! I get chickenskin when I see the picture, esspecially as I have seen the surrounding buildings and cities. To put it a bit into perpective I have put a picture of last year beside it. You can see the building in the tsunami picture in front of the blue tower. Whole Matsushima must have been washed away!

Damage seems incredible. 1000+ lives lost... Footage shown everywhere is absurd, you see people leaving cars and then there is 'water', consuming them. :(
