Cars pass by the 330 ton and 60-meter (200 feet) fishing vessel Kyotoku Maru No. 18 which was flung 800 meters (0.5 mile) inland from Kesennuma port by the March 11 tsunami in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, Friday, March 9, 2012. It has been nearly one year since a monstrous earthquake triggered a tsunami that roared across Japan's northeastern coast, transforming once-pristine and thriving towns into waterlogged wastelands and sparking the world's worst nuclear crisis in a quarter-century.
