3. It has partial losses from Fukushima - and they dwarf the other losses
"The insured property loss is being estimated at around $18 billion to $26 billion while health and life insurance claims will add in another $3 billion to $8 billion."
"According to RMS, the total economic loss for Japan because of the earthquake will be $200 billion to $300 billion which includes the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant."

I've seen other estimates in that range of a quarter trillion dollars just for Fukushima, and those are probably don't include everything either.

But just with these estimates, Fukushima caused 10 times as much damage as the tsunami itself.
