2011 Sendai Earthquake And Tsunami, Tōhoku Region, Pacific Ocean

Transport
Japan's transport network suffered severe disruption. Many sections of Tohoku expressway serving northern Japan were damaged. All railway services were suspended in Tokyo, with an estimated 20,000 people stranded at major stations across the city. In the hours after the earthquake, some train services were resumed. Most Tokyo area train lines resumed full service by the next day-12 March. Twenty thousand stranded visitors spent the night of 11–12 March inside Tokyo Disneyland.
A tsunami wave was seen flooding Sendai Airport at 15:55 JST, about 1 hour after the initial quake. Narita and Haneda Airport both suspended operations after the quake, with most flights diverted to other airports for about 24 hours. Ten airliners bound for Narita were diverted to nearby Yokota Air Base.
