"On March 11 2011, the most powerful known earthquake - magnitude 9.0 - struck off the coast of Japan, followed by extremely destructive Tsunami waves of up to 38.9m that literally washed away everything. Thousands and thousands of cars, boats, houses, schools hospitals and people.
The Japanese National Police Agency has confirmed 15,057 deaths, 5,282 injured, and 9,121 people missing across eighteen prefectures, as well as over 125,000 buildings damaged or destroyed.
Having lost so much, including many of their loved ones, the survivors are rebuilding their lives faced with the fear of the problems growing at neighboring Nuclear Plants.
