    Lol... that would be worth seeing.

    Do remember though that the engineering of some of these building were designed so well to withstand these conditions...

    It's not photoshop lol. There's probably 20 tonne of lead in the keel of that boat keeping it upright. A little tsunami is nothing to a boat like that. Ever seen deadliest catch?

    Amazing photos. The ships in them middle of streets is so surreal. Most of those really only show the place cleaned up. It will be interesting to see in a year or so if some of those locations are ever built on or inhabited again. It would take a long to time to forget what happened for the people living there.
