Strangers at an Isolated Airport

The 3.11 tsunami surged into Sendai Airport, located just one kilometer from the sea. The runways were submerged, the terminal buildings were flooded, and 1,700 people, including travelers, airport staff and local residents were left stranded. How did people of all ages, occupations and nationalities survive without essential utilities? The program follows the stories of stricken travelers who happened to be at the airport. We see sew bonds created by a disaster at an airport, a place that symbolizes the Japanese concept of every encounter being a once-in-a-lifetime experience?
