Debris transportation from quake-hit Miyako to Tokyo

MIYAKO, Japan - Debris is loaded onto a truck container at a temporary debris storage site in Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, northeastern Japan, for transportation to Tokyo on Nov. 2, 2011, as the operation to transport debris to Tokyo from the Pacific coastal city began the same day. Amid fears of contamination by radioactive substances leaked from the crisis-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, Tokyo is the only municipality, aside from some in the northeast, that has so far stepped forward to accept rubble from areas hit by the March disasters to help expedite reconstruction.
