The March 11 magnitude-9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami, which wiped out large swaths of Japan's northeastern coastline, are believed to have caused an estimated $300 billion in damage, making it the most expensive disaster ever.

More than 26,000 people are dead or missing.

I get upset that the media has stopped covering Japan's disaster, because there is so much damage that has already been done and that is ongoing. I keep sending donations.
