Based on the given headlines and vocabulary, it appears that the events described are related to a natural disaster that occurred in Japan in March 2011. Here's a summary of what likely happened:

1. MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE STRIKES OFF THE COAST OF JAPAN A powerful earthquake, likely of significant magnitude, hit the coastal areas of Japan.

2. 10-METRE TSUNAMI WASHES AWAY HOUSES & CARS As a result of the earthquake, a massive tsunami measuring 10 meters in height swept across the affected coastal regions, causing destruction to houses and cars.

3. JAPAN QUAKE MOVES ISLAND BY 2.4 METRES The earthquake's force was strong enough to cause the movement of an island, shifting it by approximately 2.4 meters.

4. UNDERSEA QUAKE This headline suggests that the earthquake originated beneath the sea or underwater.

5. NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN QUAKE AREAS EVACUATED Due to the earthquake's proximity to nuclear power stations, safety precautions were taken, resulting in the evacuation of these facilities.

6. HALF A MILLION JAPANESE EVACUATED THEIR HOUSES In response to the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, approximately 500,000 Japanese individuals were forced to evacuate their homes to seek safety.

7. 1.4 MILLION WITHOUT RUNNING WATER The disaster caused significant infrastructure damage, leading to approximately 1.4 million people being left without access to running water.

Based on these headlines, it can be inferred that Japan experienced a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami, resulting in widespread destruction, displacement of residents, and disruption of essential services such as water supply. Additionally, the movement of the island and the evacuation of nuclear power stations highlight the severity and impact of the disaster.
