Volunteers from all over the world are making their ways to Tokyo, Sendai, Japan. There are a lot of stranded people on the roads. People who got stuck in buildings that were spared by the tsunami waves need to be rescued. Japan accepts assistance from everybody in this massive undertaking.
Human toll:
300 bodies are found in Sendai, the city near the epicenter. Sendai is home to more than 1 million people. Debris cover the fields of Sendai. A ship carrying more than 300 people was swept out to sea.
Utility companies shut down reactors. Power plants are shut down. More than 3 million people are without electricity. Then the waves started coming. The speed at which they travel caught people by surprise.
Oil refineries: More than 100 people perish there.
Naoto Kan, Japanese Prime Minister, declared the Nuclear plants safe.
