Japan mourns lost souls 10 yrs after quake-tsunami, Fukushima crisis Tears, prayers and a resolve to pass on lessons learned swept Japan on Thursday as the country marked 10 years since a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated its northeastern coast, with services held in the hardest-hit areas and Tokyo to mourn the more than 22,000 lives lost and unaccounted for. People across the nation observed a moment of silence at 2:46 p.m., exactly a decade after the huge quake shook eastern and northeastern Japan, particularly Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi prefectures, triggering a tsunami and the world s worst nuclear disaster since the 1986 Chernobyl crisis.
