The page features 1279 instagram pictures posted on March 11th, 2011, the day a powerful earthquake struck the Tohoku area in Japan. We run a timeline from midnight to midnight and you will see how the posts slowly change from normal casual topics to coverage of the earthquake at 14:46 local time and the aftermath with people trying to get home, congested roads, empty convenience store shelves, emergency food, debris, live TV coverage, and foreign support and wishes.

The timeline only features those pictures as known to the printo.jp instagram photo database. If you have taken instagram pictures that day and you want them to be featured here, please sign up at printo.jp and connect to your instagram account.
