If you open google earth and go to the earthquake epicenter, you will see a red icon that opens a balloon about the event. inside there is a link to download more than one kml layer of the satellite imagery "post" earthquake.
I haven't inspected it all, but maybe the image you look for is there.
But who uploaded those? an entity called "Google crisis response". One more obscene entity I didn't know about. The home page of this neat corporate propaganda tool is
here.
(Boy, governments really are useless, aren't they. The whole world is turning into Belgium: without a government for almost 300 days, still works perfectly, ran by banks and corporations. Is it the Japan government to feed satellite scans of the disaster to the media? No, it is a web corporation. Surreal. And the media feed on it without blinking. Buffoons.)
Is this real imagery post earthquake, photoshopped to look more traumatic? Who can tell. I remember the same thing happening with Kathrina, google earth had imagery the very next day. I guess they can call on the satellite directly and ask for whatever pictures they want? What a joke.
On the swastikas front, regex, I am not familiar with the symbol, but they're not nazi swastikas, they rotate toward the left, while the nazi's rotate to the right. It's something else, whatever it means (
I suspect it indicates Buddhist temples: spent on it ~ 2 minutes of my google time).
