In one town alone, the port of Minamisanriku in Miyagi prefecture, 9,500 people out of a total population of 17,000 were missing.
Seismologists yesterday upgraded the size of the “superquake” from 8.9-magnitude to 9.0, meaning it was twice as powerful as originally thought.
Naoto Kan, Japan’s prime minister, said the country was experiencing its worst crisis since the Second World War as it struggled to cope with the aftermath of the tsunami on several fronts.

The death toll is mammoth, and will continue to grow. I watched film on the Tsunami and the water was relentless, it took everything in it's path. Now the nuclear plants are beginning to fail. We have just seen the beginning.
