Japan's Killer Quake a PBS NOVA Documentary of the 2011 Magnitude 9.0 Tohoku (Fukushima) Earthquake and Tsunami. An eyewitness account and investigation of the epic earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis Program Description: It is one of greatest tragedies of modern times: a quake so powerful it knocks the Earth off its axis; a tsunami leaves tens of thousands feared dead; parts of Japan shift 10 feet out to sea; parts of the coast drop over three feet. What forces create this epic disaster? Now, a team of scientists is looking for answers. In its worst crisis since World War II, Japan faces disaster on an epic scale: a death toll likely in the tens of thousands, massive destruction of homes and businesses, shortages of water and power, and the specter of nuclear meltdown. With exclusive footage, NOVA captures the unfolding human drama and offers a clear-headed investigation of what triggered the earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear crisis. Can science and technology ever prevent devastation in the face of overwhelmingly powerful forces of nature?
