At 2:46pm on March 11, 2011 a magnitude 9 (Mw) earthquake now known as 東日本大震災Higashi Nihon Daishinsai (2011 Tohoku earthquake) hit the east coast of Japan.
As a result:
15,881 people died.
6,142 people were injured.
2,668 people went missing.
The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture, and which, in the Sendai area, travelled up to 10 km (6 miles) inland.
On 12 September 2012, a Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,881 deaths, 6,142 injured, and 2,668 people missing across twenty prefectures, as well as 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings 'half collapsed', and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged.
The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents.
The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east and shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 inches) and 25 cm (10 inches).
The World Bank's estimated economic cost was US$235 billion, making it the costliest natural disaster in world history.
There are around 500,000 earthquakes each year. 100,000 of these can actually be felt.
