Some interesting videos and images of the Sendai airport. It seems that most of the runways, taxiways and the terminal were flooded. Not to mention the surrounding neighborhoods that seem to be washed away. What a tragic time for the people of Japan.

Scroll down to the bottom for the airport on this one. Move the slider to see the whole image.

A note for any Nikon fans. Sendai is the home of the factory that produces their professional cameras. Its located near the airport.

The AvHerald article below contains a video from a security cam of the water flooding over Sendai Airport, also a pic of Sendai Airport after the tsunami.
