An earthquake measuring 8.9 struck Friday at 14.46 degrees (it was 6.46 in Italy) the north-eastern Honshu, the largest in Japan, 380 km from Tokyo. A few minutes later a tsunami with waves up to ten meters high struck the coast overlooking the Pacific spreading death and destruction in the area of \u200b\u200bSendai, the closest to the epicenter. But Italian to 19.59 hours (the 3.59 local time on Saturday) there was an earthquake measuring 6.2 Richter scale in an area completely different: near Joetsu, on the shores of the Sea of \u200b\u200bJapan in the face of Korea, pretty shallow (1 km deep) according to initial information. A few minutes later, at 20.25, a 5.5 quake degrees just 80 miles from Tokyo, confirming the shift of the epicenters of the aftershocks to the south-west, closer to the capital.
