Hundreds of more people were missing, Japanese media reported. Tens of thousands of people were displaced, according to Japan's Kyodo News Agency. Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the earthquake had caused “huge damage over a wide area”.
Andy Clark said he had got used to earthquakes during his 20 years in Japan but never experienced what he felt on Friday at the airport outside Tokyo. “Buildings shook and fell apart, and a lot of fires started. I thought things were coming to an end,” he said.
The quake, which struck at 2:46 pm, caused the US National Weather Service to issue tsunami (海啸) warnings for at least 50 countries and territories. The epicenter of Friday's main quake was located off Miyagi Prefecture, about 230 miles northeast of Tokyo, the US Geological Survey said.
Also in Miyagi, officials reported that a train had left its rail and authorities had lost contact with four trains in coastal areas, Kyodo reported. Six million households, more than 10% of the total in Japan, were without electricity. In Tokyo, there was no rail service overnight, highways were shut early on Saturday and streets were filled with people.
