The US Geological Survey has increased the reported quake magnitude to 8.8.
A massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake has struck eastern Japan, just hours after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck. Tokyo's two main airports, Narita and Haneda, are closed to flights.
Strong aftershocks are also being reported from the Tokyo area, and a 6-metre tsunami is reported to have hit port and coastal areas, including the city of Kamaishi in Iwate Prefecture.
Passengers in airplanes on the ground at Narita Airport reported that the earthquake "felt like really bad turbulence, but [the plane was] not moving".
Inside the airport, a passenger reported Terminal 1 "halls shaking like crazy".
Narita Airport -- the destination for most international flights -- is some 60 km east of Tokyo's centre. That's in the direction of the epicentre of the earthquake, reported to be in Miyagi Prefecture according to Japan's Daily Yomiuri newspaper.
Smaller Haneda airport, some 15 km south of the city, is also closed.
Social media messages from passengers on the ground say, all tweets or updates verbatim:
@serkantoto: At Tokyo Narita airport Terminal 1. Big, HUGE earthquake, halls shaking like crazy. #kowai

Alhamdullilah smpai now tmpt sy lgsg takde effect tsunami atau earthquake nih
Yg really teruk those yg kat sendai, fukushima, aichi, iwate, miyagi and a few placed di kaw utara tokyo
Most yg affected sikit2 dah ke embasst di tokyo tp ituler sbb ramai, tak muat nak tmpt kat student house so harap belas student2 lain kat tokyo la
Buat masa nih gempa besar dan tsunami dah ok cuma masalah radiasi dr nuclear plant kat fukushima yg added to all the miserable..
Kerajaan akan pindahkan semua pelajar kat affected area kl tahap radiasi tak dot dikawal lg
Semuanya berserah kpd Allah swt..please pray for all those people ye |
