The facts and figures are astonishing...Japan's March 11th earthquake was the world's fourth largest earthquake since record keeping began in 1900 and the worst ever in that country.
The seismic shock wave released over 4,000 times the energy of the largest nuclear test ever conducted; it shifted the earth's axis by 6 inches and shortened the day by a few millionths of a second. The tsunami slammed Japan's coast with 30 feet-high waves that traveled 6 miles inland, obliterating entire towns in a matter of minutes. NOVA revisits the disaster tonight in JAPAN'S KILLER QUAKE with compelling eyewitness videos, explanatory graphics and exclusive helicopter footage...not to be missed...9pm
