TOKYO, March 22 Kyodo
The total number of people killed or reported missing as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that hit northeastern Japan stood at 21,459 as of 9 p.m. Monday, the National Police Agency
said, while growing signs of reconstruction emerged, with access restored to all communities in the disaster-struck coastal prefecture of Iwate.
The number of deaths reported in a total of 12 prefectures stood at 8,805, while the number of people reported missing by their relatives climbed to 12,654 in six prefectures. Police have identified around 4,080 bodies, of which 2,990 have been returned to their families, the agency said.
A total of about 320,000 evacuees, including people who fled areas around the troubled nuclear reactors in Fukushima Prefecture, are now staying at about 2,100 makeshift shelters set up in 16 prefectures.

쓰나미 파괴력
점보제트기 250대가 한꺼번에 시속 1000km로 날아와 부딪히는 강도.’
지난 11일 일본이 자랑하는 산리쿠(三陸)해안의 거대한 방파제를 박살 내고
육지로 밀려든 쓰나미의 파괴력에 대한 설명이다.
와세다대학 시바야마 사토루야 교수(해안 공학)는 19일 오후 비행기로 이와테현
카마이시만 입구에 자리 잡은 ‘세계 최고 깊이의 방파제’가 쓰나미에 의해 파괴된
현장을 둘러본 뒤 이같이 추산했다고 요미우리신문이 21일 보도했다.
3·11 대지진 이전까지 카마이시만의 방파제는 전체 길이 약 2km, 수면 위
높이 약 8m, 두께 약 20m로 우뚝 솟아 항만을 지키고 있었다. 그러나 지금은
이 방파제의 절반에 가까운 북쪽 800m 부분이 크게 무너져 내렸고, 해면에 남은
부분이라고는 여기저기 흩어진 콘크리트블록 조각뿐인 흉물스런 모습이었다.
2009년 완성된 이 방파제는 최고 수심 63m의 바다 밑에 도쿄 돔의 7배에 해당하는 700만㎥의 거대한 콘크리트 덩어리를 가라앉히고, 그 위에 콘크리트벽을 쌓아 만든 ‘일본의 자랑’이었다. 일본은 1896년 발생한 규모 8.5의 대지진과 쓰나미를 기준으로, 같은 규모의 지진과 쓰나미에 버틸 수 있도록 이 방파제를 만들었다. 기네스북에도 세계 최고 깊이의 방파제로 기록될 정도였다.
이와테현 오후나토항에 있는 거대한 방파제(길이 약 750m, 수심 약 40m)도 완전하게 붕괴해 가라앉아 있다. 시바야마 교수는 “방파제가 지진으로 여러 곳에 균열이 생겼고, 그 직후 쓰나미가 부딪히면서 단번에 무너져 내린 것으로 보인다”며 “엄청난 위력”이라고 말했다.
이 밖에도 이번 쓰나미는 이와테현 미야코시에서 주민들이 ‘만리장성’이라며 든든해하던 길이 2.5km, 높이 10m짜리 방조제를 넘고 들어와 민가를 삼켰고, 야마타쵸의 방조제도 50~60m에 이르는 부위가 산산조각이 나면서 쓰나미와 함께 마을을 덮쳤다.
