On the 1-year anniversary of the earthquake/tsunami that hit Japan, Google Maps updated its imagery all along the coast. This included side-by-side shots of two specific regions, the Shiogama Port and the Sanriku Bridge.
The photos are: years before, days after, one month after, and a year after.
The devastation is incredible, but so is the recovery.
