Excerpt: The 2011 Tohoku earthquake, officially named the Great East Japan Earthquake, (Japanese: "Eastern Japan Great Earthquake Disaster" Higashi Nihon Daishinsai)) was a magnitude 9.0 (Mw) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on Friday, 11 March 2011, with the epicenter approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tohoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 32 km (20 mi). It was the most powerful known earthquake to have hit Japan, and one of the five most powerful earthquakes in the world overall since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered extremely destructive tsunami waves of up to 38.9 metres (128 ft). that struck Japan, in some cases traveling up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. In addition to loss of life and destruction of infrastructure, the tsunami caused a number of nuclear accidents, of which by far the most serious was an ongoing level 7 event and 20 km (12 mi) evacuation zone around the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (see 2011 Japanese nuclear accidents). The overall cost could exceed $300 billion, making it the most expensive natural disaster on record. The Japanese National Police Agency has confirmed 15,057 deaths, 5,282.
