New pictures are emerging of the moment the tsunami struck northeastern Japan.

Terrified residents rushed to the safety of higher ground and watched houses being crushed like tin cans and cars washed away.
Rescue teams are searching for the missing along hundreds of kilometers of coast.

They're combing through towns and villages that have been reduced to splinters.
