A man walks past a boat that was swept ashore after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, at Otsu port in Kitaibaraki, Ibaraki prefecture, March 27, 2011. Otsu is well south of the widespread damage from the earthquake, and the towns that were wiped off the map by the monster tsunami that reached higher than 10 meters (33 feet) and swallowed boats, homes, businesses and, rescuers believe, some 20,000 people. In all, more than 27,000 people are dead or missing. But Otsu is only 70 kilometers (42 miles) south of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, whose reactors have been leaking radiation since March 11, adding a nuclear crisis that has drawn alarm from around the world.
