Sendai airport was inundated with cars, trucks, buses and thick mud
deposited over its runways. NHK television transmitted aerial images of
flood waters engulfing the airport, where survivors clustered on the roof of
the main building.

Those are the first pictures I've seen of airplanes at Sendai.
I notice this airport also has gates (aka, it services airlines). Does
anyone know if any big iron was at the airport when the quake hit? Where
are those planes? Did they manage to scramble them into the air before the
wave hit?

Chris,
I have no idea but my best guess is that the airport was shut
down after the quake as something that large would have had controllers and
ATC working with planes in the air to reroute to safety. Further guessing
that it takes some time for airlines to make executive decisions on these
matters and then finding the right crew, fuel, preflight etc=85 My guess is
nothing was moving or flying before the tsunami hit. I have goggled the
earthquake / tsunami timeline but I have yet to find anything specific so I
don=92t know if the water hit 5 minutes after or 45 minutes after. The clos
est
I could find was a mix of GMT and Video with a time code from a news
helicopter. I am only guessing the earthquake hit at 46 after and the
tsunami came in at 12 after the hour or about 26 minutes later. Below is a
photo I found that looks like the wave front approaching the airport taken
from the other side of the airport. There is other footage of 7 - 25=92 gre
en
houses being taken out in 4 seconds. That puts the approximate speed of the
surge front at 30 MPH.
Sorry for all the guessing,
Robin

aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0. In this
