For the last few days, KQED News Editor Dan Brekke and I have been posting photos and video related to the titanic events that have engulfed Japan and rippled out, literally and figuratively, into the wider world, including our own region. Here are all the videos and photos we've found to date, in one place. For quicker page loading, we haven't embedded the videos. If you're interested in helping with relief efforts in Japan, here's a list of resources.
