Just a quick update on the recent earthquake in Japan. While I mentioned in my previous post that I wouldn't be posting pictures of what happened, I happened across this New York Times post with a before and after comparison of some of the affected areas. The images are just amazing and I felt compelled to share them with you.
The pictures were taken with GeoEye and show a very bleak after landscape in contrast to the cheery before shots. Hopefully, we will see a similar comparison a year from now that replaces the dull grays with the hopeful blues and greens of the previous pictures.
Check out my original post which has links to other blogs with relevant help information.

Unbelieveable shots.
oh really impressive.
Those are great shots.
With all the pictures and video coming out now, people are starting to see just how devastating it really was.
Wow.. the buildings got washed out.
thats so sad
yeah terrible stuff
Moving shots. If it is rebuilt, I hope they take in to consideration the vulnerability of the location..
omg...the only good thing I can think of is that it'll rebuilt better but at what cost?
It's really beyond my imagination...How horrible it is! I am sorry for all the innocent people who have lost their lives of loved ones.
I hope the worst is behind them...
oh god this looks so horrible. if they are not going to be able to control their nuclearplants this will even get worse
Saddening..
It was a tragedy, I hope people can rebuild their lives.

This is Japan, the cohesion and unity of these people is ridiculous. The damage will be repaired in no time.
Hopefully.

Looking at these photos make me feel the pain of Japan :(.

Saw this in the NY Times. Insane how much destruction water can cause.

Big difference in those shots. I can't believe it was that devastating. Hope they can reclaim areas like that and build again.
It is soo terrible. Just terrible
That's more than just a little freaky.

Incredible pictures. Thoughts are with Japan!
Omg, that is insane!
im shocked of the destruction caused by the wave in japan.

This makes me so sad. But Japanese people are the hardest working people in the world and this might just make then even stronger, who knows. You gotta look on the bright side on everything.

This reminds me of the endings of zombie movies...like the ending of the Crazies...just empty..
So sad to see the before photo and then the wiped out one.
Pictures like these really make it seem even more real. Just to see that much devastation is heartbreaking
Those are really impressive. The whole place looks like it has been "shaved" you can only imagine the power of the wave that hit them
Looks so beautiful before, even like a painting.
