The largest earthquake in Japan’s recorded history rocked Japan on Friday, March 11, 2011, shaking cities and villages along a 1,300-mile stretch of coastline with terrifying tremors felt as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles from the epicenter. The quake killed at least 60 people and unleashed a monster 30-foot-high tsunami that sent ships crashing into shore, wiped away homes, and carried cars through the streets of towns. Tsunami warnings were issued for the entire Pacific, including Hawaii, South America, Canada, Alaska and the whole West Coast of the United States.
