You have to click on each image to get the "before" shot.

Having the comparison really brings out the extent of the damage. :o

If that kind of disaster happened in Slovenia, the before/after pictures would have been the same :nope:

Lots of changes. Today still lots of housing not rebuilt, I wonder if they've moved elsewhere or just not got around to it yet?

Thanks for the link.

Quite a bit of clean up of the debris. The housing question might be because of contaminated water systems. I can only imagine the sewer systems and clean water systems were affected requiring a lot of work. Just a guess though.

Got to hand it to the Japanese how they handle with situations like this.

Have a great deal of respect for them :salute:

Very industrious people.

Maybe we should give Detroit to the Japanese? :dead:

We dropped two nukes on them. I think they have been punished enough.

Economic downturn, they've probably moved to other houses. It'll be a while before those areas are rebuilt sadly.

Still can't believe the amount of damage they took. :o They have really been working on it, that's for sure.
