Photos and videos released of the aftermath of the massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Japan last week made its mark upon people around the world.
The estimated death toll ranges between more than 1,000 people to 10,000, according to various reports and sources.
The earthquake triggered a series of tsunamis that washed over many coastal towns in the island nation, leaving untold and unmitigated destruction that likely will cost billions of dollars to clean up.
