 | | SENDAI, Japan (AP) A powerful undersea earthquake struck northeastern Japan on Tuesday, triggering a small tsunami, sending debris crashing into a crowded swimming pool and shaking skyscrapers as far away as Tokyo. |
 | | The magnitude-7.2 quake, centered about 50 miles off the coast of Miyagi state, knocked out power to about 17,000 homes, while high-speed train service was suspended in northern Japan and flights were grounded temporarily at Haneda airport in Tokyo, 185 miles to the south. |
 | | By nightfall, trains in Sendai were up and running again, although hundreds of stranded passengers crowded the central train station. |
