Participants attend a moment of silence at 2:46 p.m., the time when the magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off Japan’s coast in 2011, during a rally in Tokyo, Japan, yesterday, to mark the seventh anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands and set off a nuclear crisis. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at an official ceremony in Tokyo that reconstruction is making steady progress, but more than 70,000 people are still displaced and many have no prospect of returning to their homes.
