We have a beach about 10 minutes up the road called Miss Veedol Beach; there is a replica of a plane and a huge tower at this beach. One of the pilots who flew in after the tsunami said he didn’t see the tower anymore so I wanted to go check it out. I parked the car clear of the tsunami debris and walked down to the beach. There were signs wrapped around trees… all this area used to be grass, now it is buried under a fairly deep layer of sand…
This used to be where the road went to the parking lot…
The tower was still there but not the plane. This is where the replica of the plane sat… just the support pillars are left… below is what this spot looked like before the tsunami

This is all that was left of the plane… a chunk of the side… and you can see one wheel off on the fence in the distance…
This is a big concrete area where people would come and fly model planes… these cracks might be from the earthquake but my guess is they are from the tsunami… you can also tell that big crane in the background is all falling forward…
I wonder if the claw from the crane crashed into the concrete there and then got pushed sideways from the tsunami or if the tsunami put that hole there?!?
