Great Disaster-Japan

Japan suffers a lot of earthquakes from the past, so it has a better system about defending the earthquake effectively than other countries. Japan experienced big one and small one frequently, but there were always minimum damages. However, it was very different this time. Nearly 900 times to Haiti earthquake hit Japan. I thought we can only see that on a part of the movies or books. It was totally horrible!

On the afternoon of March 11^th, the magnitude of 9.0 earthquakes was occurred on Sendai, the Northeastern area of Japan. It was one of the most powerful earthquakes for recent 100 years. However, this was not the end. After approximately ten minutes, the mighty tsunami which contained the power of atomic bomb slammed Japan. The houses were swept by the wave, cars were floating around, and people didn’t know where to run. To make things worse, the nuclear power plant on Fukushima was exploded by the effect of the tsunami. The cooling device that surrounded the power plant got damage and it couldn’t function properly. Japanese government said the casualties were not found yet, but they think it might be a million. One Korean found dead, too. It is certain that Japan will struggle hard to recover the damage.

Despite of this great disaster, Japanese didn’t lose their calmness and handle the problem step by step. People didn’t fight each other for the lack of supplies, always seem optimistic, and said that they will restore soon. About 60 countries in the world took action to help Japan. For example of Korea, 102 rescuers and 12 trained dogs were sent to aid. In personal, I don’t like Japan very much because it is the country that conquered Korea and colonized it. However, I feel sorry for my neighboring country to hear such terrible news. I hope people in Japan to get hope and stand up again soon.
