TNEWS TALANOA

A 33ft tsunami has killed at least 60 people and left 56 missing as it swept over Japan's northeastern coast after the country's biggest earthquake in recorded history.

The 8.9 magnitude megaquake caused a huge wave that hit the port of Sendai city, sending ships crashing into the shore and carrying cars and buildings through streets.

A ship carrying around 100 people was among those swept away by the tsunami.

The quake also rocked the capital, Tokyo, which one of the cities shaken by at least 20 subsequent aftershocks.

Mass evacuations are taking place after tsunami warnings were issued for the entire Pacific basin.

And the tsunami set off by the quake is currently higher than some Pacific islands it could wash over, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said.

Japanese news agencies said the country had requested US forces' help in the relief effort.

The earthquake - one of the strongest ever recorded - has obliterated Tokyo's Disneyland car park and caused large fires at sites including an oil refinery in nearby Iichihara.

Large aftershocks continue to hit the capital, following an initial tremor so strong it was felt 1,500 miles away in the Chinese capital Beijing.
Japanese prime minister Naoto Kan had said there was no nuclear plant radiation leak caused by the disaster.

A state of emergency had been declared at Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi prefecture after a fire broke out in a turbine building and an emergency cooling system failed.

Reports suggested the fire there had since been extinguished.
But the International Atomic Energy Agency said a heightened state of alert was in effect at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, with 2,000 residents in surrounding areas urged to evacuate.
