A major earthquake struck northern Japan (including Tokyo) on March 11, 2011, with a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale. A significant tsunami was generated as a result, causing further damage along the coast. Also as a result of the disaster, a potentially devastating nuclear crisis due to unstable reactors near Japan’s coast. Death tolls are feared to be nearing 30,000 people.
