On March 11th, at 2:46 p.m., the most devastating earthquake in Japan’s history and the fifth largest earthquake in the world took place on a Friday afternoon.
At J!-ENT, we were actually in contact with a Japanese record label contact when the earthquake hit and immediately, we began following our J_ENTJAPAN Twitter account to see the first eyewitness accounts and then started sharing the first photos and videos that hit the Internet.
Here are the eyewitness accounts when the earthquake happened in Japan that were posted on the Internet and giving us a first hand look at the devastation in northeast Japan but also how the earthquake affected those in the Kanto region.
