There are so many terrifying photos from Japan and my mind simply can't comprehend most of them.

The one that really says it to me is this one because boats don't belong on bridges. As someone from a family with a boat, I can comprehend this picture in a way someone who hasn't put one together may not. I can see that wave had to go up and over, and I get the three dimensional sense of it all. I know the feel and heft of a boat.

This NY Times before-and-after interactive set of maps is very good, but the devastation is so total that I'm finding I can't wrap my head around it.

Anyhow, I know there's a lot of talk about it all, but I'm curious what has been most effective at communicating the scale of what happened for you.
