I have been trying to use the JAXA imagery links and Mapquest (which uses
the same imagery) on the '2011 Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami' page on wiki (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2011_Sendai_earthquake_and_tsunami) but
cannot see any images loading.

Anyone know if something is wrong?

Cheers,
Shalabh
