Ok, go to our sister site DoDBuzz right now and look at these incredible pictures of Japan before and after the earthquake and tsunami hit. Use the slider tool to get an instant comparison of a pre-and post-disaster landscape. As Buzz editor Colin Clark puts it, these satellite images are no-doubt similar to higher quality ones that government officials around the world are pouring over in an attempt to assess the damage. We already know that the U.S. has U-2 and Global Hawk spy planes in the air over Japan collecting pictures with their cameras and Synthetic Aperture Radars.
