Rescue dog handler Kaori Oshima from Osaka searches the wreckage for bodies. The 9.0 magnitude strong earthquake struck offshore on March 1, 2011 at 2:46pm local time, triggering a tsunami wave of up to ten metres which engulfed large parts of north-eastern Japan. The death toll reached 15,846, 6,011 injured and 3,320 left missing. Further complicating the rescue and clean-up efforts was the subsequent nuclear meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. (Photo by Mark Edward Harris/Getty Images)
