Around 1,000 people were washed up on the shores of Ojika Peninsulain Miyagi, while another 1000 were seen in the town of Minamisanriku, Kyodo News reported.

Authorities have been unable to contact 10,000 people in Minamisanriku – more than half of the population living there.

I would be surprised if there aren’t 50,000 dead as a result of this disaster. You get caught in that water, maybe you can float or swim pretty well but there’s little defense against cars and sections of buildings and kilotons of debris crashing into you.

The queue pictures need to be displayed with the “free mortgage” pictures from Detroit, I think it was. I’ll try to find it.
