It just sort of jumped out at me. I was in Japan at the time, 3/11/11 became one of those days to remember.

Synchronicity alert, I just saw a few minutes ago that there was an earthquake in Turkey/Syria that so far has clocked 11,000 deaths, making it the most deadly earthquake in "roughly a decade"-- Japan's 3/11 presumably being the prior. (Of course, both get surpassed completely by the crazy 2004 earthquake and tsunami that took out over 200,000.) Anyway, the earthquake occurred on 2/6, the same day you posted this.
