Japan earthquake: CCTV video of tsunami wave hitting Sendai airport

Follow latest updates at http://twitter.com/rt_com and http://www.facebook.com/RTnews
The government has confirmed 23 deaths, with the number expected to rise. It follows the 8.9-magnitude earthquake which sent a 4-metre wall of water inland across the Miyagi prefecture . There's considerable destruction - 200 people have been washed away. Buildings, cars and ships were also swept by the raging waters. Several are missing on Japan's Sendai island. The first wave has also reached Russia's Kuril islands to the north, reportedly around a metre high. There are several fires along Japan's eastern coastline, and 4 million homes are without power. The Prime Minister's ordered an emergency response team to tackle the disaster - with aircraft scrambled to the worst-affected area. Communication is crippled and Tokyo's Norita International Airport has been closed. The entire Pacific region is on tsunami alert - with Hawaii braced to be hit within the next few hours.

@rkstkgks1105dlsrks Remind me, how have the Mongolians been punished for killing around 10% of the world's population in the 13th century? Additionally, if your parent killed someone, should you be punished? You should be subjected to "Karma"?

Japanese atrocities like Nanjing Masscre,Sexual slavery women, Unit 731 as well as other atrocities against humanity during WWII are the worst crime in history.Japan is now paying for their sins. The mega earthquake and possible major radiation fallout from the failed nuclear plant will avenge the 30 mill. of innocent civilians murdered, raped and burnt by Jap imperial military. Dont get me wrong, i dont wish any bad on any country, but what goes around ALWAYS comes around, sooner or later.

Karma...Japanese sin is too heavy.

@GenzoWhrqkflqkfl opened another troll account, Mr.Coward? This vid is nothing to do with history but if you like, check your rapes in Dai Daihan:

The causes of the Lai Daihan problem include "comfort women", rape,and the desertion of the children. Atrocities by Military of South Korea are still remembered in Vietnam, and the Hankyoreh referred to the incidents as a massacre (대량학살). Military of South Korea had massacred and raped more than 300,000 Vietnamese people in Vietnam during the war.
