HACHINOHE, Japan (March 12, 2011) A desk chair lies in a layer of mud and petroleum that now covers much of the U.S. Navy Fleet and Industrial Supply Center facility Yokosuka Defense Fuel Support Point, Hachinohe after a tsunami swept through the area. The tsunami was triggered by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, the strongest ever recorded in Japan, which caused considerable damage to the country's eastern coastline.
