Why were so many buildings destroyed in the 2011 Japanese earthquake?
It had a very very high magnitude and lasted long with many many aftershocks. Also many natural disasters were in play with it, like a Tsunami..Also I am not sure because I only heard it on the Colbert Report and might have not been true but also a volcano explosion happen.A relative who was over near the Earthquake but not in Japan said that the North ridge earthquake of 94 was nothing compared to the length and magnitude of this earthquake.

How long did it take for the tsunami in Japan to hits its own coast of Honshu after the earthquake. In other words from the time of the earthquake how much time did people have to get away?
A Tsunami can travel as fast a jetliner in flight which is anywhere from 500-600 mph. The earthquake occurred about 80 miles of the coast, although a Tsunami will slow as it hits the coast line, you can figure residents had anywhere from 8 - 15 minutes to get to higher ground. Not much time!
