Fighter jets in mud after tsunami hits Japan Air Force base

Workers were clearing up at an air force base in Miyagi prefecture on Sunday, after a devastating tsunami coursed through it, smashing up fighter jets and covering buildings and equipment in thick in layers of mud. The magnitude-8.9 offshore quake triggered a 23-foot (seven-metre) tsunami and was followed for hours by more than 50 aftershocks, many of them more than magnitude 6.0.
