Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan 2011 Video,  On March 11, 2011, an earthquake of 8.9. magnitude struck off the coast of Japan, the strongest ever recorded in the country. The quake shook a devastating tsunami that swept the cities and agricultural fields in northern Iraq and warnings went as far to the west coast of the United States and South America.

Eight years ago, on an ordinary Tuesday morning, nearly 3,000 lives were lost in the deadliest attack on American soil in our history.

It was an event that forever changed the life of this city. And it was a tragedy that will be forever seared in the consciousness of our nation.

Every year on this day, we are all New Yorkers.
