The sixth anniversary of the massive earthquake, tsunami and nuclear
disaster that devastated swathes of Japan on 11 March 2011.
At 2.46pm on 11 March 2011, Japan was struck by an earthquake with a
magnitude of 9.0 – the biggest in the nation's recorded history and one of the five
most powerful recorded ever around the world. The epicentre was located about
70km east of Tohoku in Miyagi prefecture, north-eastern Japan. The six-minute-
long tremor and its thousands of aftershocks shook buildings across much of
northern Japan and the nation's capital.

The tsunami also led to a nuclear disaster when the Fukushima Daiichi power plant was
inundated by waves, causing a cooling system failure, followed by a nuclear reactor meltdown
and the release of radioactive materials. Tens of thousands of people were forced to evacuate
an area 20km radius around the reactor. The plant's owners, Tokyo Electric Power Company
(Tepco) said 45 metric tons of radioactive water were released into the ocean.

Japan Tsunami: Powerful Photos of the Earthquake and Nuclear disaster that hit six years ago

The epicentre was located about 70km east of Tohoku in Miyagi prefecture, north-eastern Japan. The six-minute- long tremor and its thousands of aftershocks shook buildings across much of northern Japan and the nation's capital.
