Dozens of satellites around Earth , we provide continuous wit IMAGES of our planet taken from a distance ... a flow of visual information could not be excluded from the events that happened in Japan , where a massive earthquake, followed by an equally devastating Tsunami, hit the country, especially the north. images and videos taken from the same scene, which we have seen in the media and the network, are really shocking but lack the global prespective we offer photographs taken from space, less detailed but, instead, to give a better idea of \u200b\u200bthe magnitude of this natural disaster.
And an example is the picture above, taken by satellite Formosat and comprising a Iwanuma in Miyagi Prefecture ... the wave in 4 miles inland, leaving behind whether a dark mark that can be seen here clearly. Like little chance of survival than had those who were, at that time, near the coast.
so let the images speak for themselves.
GeoEye took this picture of Shinchi, Fukushima Prefecture, where we can see the remains of one of the four trains that were hit by the Tsunami. 
The sadly Fukushima nuclear power plant, photographed shortly after the explosions that have been going at it ... 
Natori, a city of some 70,000 inhabitants near Sendai, with fields flooded and debris burning. 
Minamisanrikucho submerged lands, a small town near Sendai. 
Another image that records up to where the waters came before retiring in Minamisoma .. here the wave moved over two miles. The before and after Tsunami:
Sendai Airport. 
Ruin and desolation in Iwaki. .. 
... as well as in other parts of the north coast. 
The strength of a large-scale Tsunami is devastating and almost unstoppable, destroying everything is on the way ... 
... and for many areas of northern life should start virtually from scratch. Satellite Photos Before and After of Japan's Earthquake, Tsunami
