Reminds one of the devastation in and around NOLA following Katrina, and the walls of debris created just after the storm and during initial cleanup.

Thanks for the HU. I wonder how they moved that large cargo ship.

I think the ship in pic #22 is gonna be a problem to re-float, even for the Japanese.

I sometimes check out those video clips in YouTube of this event...still leaves me gob-smacked at the destruction.

Oddly enough this came up during a TV report a day ago, apparantly the Mayor of Kesennuma in Miyagi prefecture [I think that's it] plans on keeping it in situ as a memorial.
