Boston’s Big Picture- Japan’s Crisis: One Month Later

It’s now been a month since the massive destruction that struck Japan. Thousands of people dead or missing, thousands more displaced by the tsunami and radiation, and the rest of the world watches with bated breath. Boston’s Big Picture has put together some of the best most emotional photos we’ve seen thus far.

Japan is just in the beginning of the long term recovery effort from the earthquake that struck off northeastern Japan on March 11. The crisis alert level from the damage to the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has now been raised to the highest level of impact, the same as the Chernobyl Russia incident 25 years ago. Searchers continue to look for the dead, displaced Japanese live in shelters, protests continue over use of nuclear power, Japan’s economic engine may be disrupted, the massive cleanup of debris is just underway, aftershocks are feared and many continue to mourn those who were lost. The photos collected here are from one month to the day of the quake and beyond. — Lloyd Young (36 photos total)

Japan Rocked By Earthquake and Tsunami Yesterday

If you haven’t been watching the news recently you may not know that Japan was just rocked by an earthquake, followed by a tsunami. I got an email this morning from Adam Guy, so I’m pretty sure he’s ok. It’s hard to believe that only the day before he was out on the water fishing. I hope that everyone is ok, the destruction looks pretty immense from the videos I’ve seen and I’m sure there’s even more that I haven’t seen.

Earthquake Brings Squid to California

A recent earthquake in California has shaken up a large group of Humboldt squid and sent them straight in to the beaches of La Jolla. Local residents were shocked and say they’ve never seen anything like this before. Check out the video!

This isn’t the first time we’ve covered the Humboldt squid, and when not confused by whatever occurred underwater during the quake they can even be quite aggressive and dangerous. In Mexico they refer to them as diablo rojo.
