9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami devastates region

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- Airman Autumn McHam attaches cargo netting to an aircraft pallet of packaged meals bound for Southeast Asia. The meals are part of a disaster relief package destined for the area struck by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake Dec. 26 off the coast of Indonesia. The quake caused tsunami waves that killed more than 100,000 people in 12 countries. More than 3,000 cases of meals and four aircraft pallets of fresh water were processed through Kadena's cargo area Dec. 28. Airmen from the 18th Wing here are providing supplies to help with the humanitarian effort. Airman McHam is assigned to the 733rd Air Mobility Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
