Japan marks 8 years since triple disasters, Fukushima crisis rumbles on

Candles and flowers are placed by people to mourn for the victims of the March 11, 2011 earthquake-triggered tsunami during a memorial ceremony in Tokyo, Japan, March 11, 2019. Ceremonies were held across Japan on Monday to mark the eighth anniversary of a powerful earthquake-triggered tsunami, which obliterated swathes of the nation's northeastern seaboard and triggered the worst nuclear crisis since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. A moment of silence was observed at a ceremony held in Tokyo and supported by the government. (Xinhua/Du Xiaoyi)
