A powerful ocean storm has killed at least 11 people and forced the closure of one of Japan’s busiest airports. Typhoon Jebi struck Japan’s western island of Shikoku on Tuesday. With continuous winds of 160 kilometers an hour, it was the strongest storm to hit Japan since 1993. Boats rescued about 3,000 people who could not leave Kansai International Airport. The airport is built on a man-made island in Osaka Bay. Passengers who were trapped in the airport overnight said there was no electricity, food or wireless service. The island was cut off when a large ship crashed into and badly damaged a bridge between the airport and the mainland. Runways at the airport were largely underwater after the storm struck Tuesday. Officials say they do not know when the airport will reopen.
