The Sendai Airport Washaway!!!
The tsunami from the 2011 Sendai earthquake submerged the Sendai airport tarmac, taxiways and runway on March 11, 2011. The city it serves, Sendai, was also submerged under the waves, causing widespread destruction. The Sendai Airport is now shut down as the runway and terminal are no longer accessible. The terminal was almost fully submerged under the waves and surrounded by mud and debris. The rail network to the airport, Sendai Airport Line, is also closed. The devastating aftermath of the tsunami has left some 2,200 people being isolated in the airport terminal building.
Then it all happened !!!
