I am one of those who survived the Aceh tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, it was terrible that the initial wave on the coast was 30 meters and swept everything that existed, until now it cannot be forgotten, may your country be protected from disasters like this, let's pray
What is particularly heartbreaking about the December 26th, 2004 tsunami is that many of the deceased were tourists who were spending the Christmas holidays in the warmer weather of Indonesia.
That's one of the biggest if not THE biggest, right? I read it affected more than 10 countries. I've seen documentaries and videos and wow. Nature is amazing and terrifying

Hi from Japan. Because we are earthquake suffered brothers. When this earthquake occurred in Japan, the first thing I recalled was about the earthquake in New Zealand. Wasn't it few weeks before etc.? I thought that my office on the 4th floor was going to fall down to the ground like the building in Christchurch.
I can't imagine having to watch a city you grew up in just get swallowed and destroyed, and taking the lives of loved ones in the process. May everyone Rest In Peace.

I have visited some of the impacted areas twice over the past few years. The Japanese people worked so hard to rebuild and bring life back to these areas. Very resilient and absolutely impressive!

It's ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. We Japanese could NEVER recover from the damage of the earthquake without help from all over the world. We will definitely return the favor. Thank you.
I’m watching “The Days” and remembering this tragedy. Japan is a special country. They’ve been thru so much but they are a brightness for our world. We love you, Japan. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 ❤️
Can't believe this was 10 years ago. I remember my 9 year old self reading Attack on Titan while this wild Tsunami hit Japan. Props to the Japanese people and their government for getting back up even after all these calamities.
@@armitat.5896 Uh- I guess children really do be liking gory stuff now a days, I mean who wouldn’t read or watch attack on titan it rocks (in my opinion don’t attack me).
After all these 10 years, we find ourselves still struggling. The loss and damage still make us speechless sometimes. However, we never forget the support and warm encouragement we received from all over the world back then we were in the midst of the tragedy. We are moving forward with gratitude for your support. We will convey your great support to our children. thank you so much for your love. from Japan
It has been 12 years since the earthquake today.I am Japanese. When the earthquake occurred, I was in an elementary school in Kanagawa prefecture, next to Tokyo. Although it was far from the epicenter, we felt a very strong tremor. I remember being very shocked when I first saw the footage of the tsunami.Many people lost their lives due to the tsunami. Tsunamis can happen anywhere on Earth. I hope that this footage will be used to help reduce the number of people who lose their lives in tsunamis.
@@AdeptoDiChuckNorrisEven that’s not true. I’m Dutch, our country is at risk of flooding (but the Delta works are built to prevent this) but not at risk of tsunamis.
Prior to this tsunami, Japan was the world’s second largest economy! This natural disaster really destroyed their economy. I do hope the people of Japan have recovered well from this natural disaster ever since. I also want to wish good health to everyone around the world these days. God bless you all.
Luckily my dog was wearing a name tagged and was saved by a group of highschoolers that time and called me right away. My dog likes to go outside for a stroll always.
Hi, I’m Japanese and I was 4 years old when this happened. I guess I’m fluent in English because I lived in America before. I decided to write this because recent reports say that there’s going to be a very big earthquake coming up in Japan in the next 10 to 30 years. By the way I’m copying and pasting this to most of the Great East Japan Earthquake videos I can find, so that many people can read it :) 4 years old is the age when I was in preschool (or kindergarten?), and I was on my mom’s bicycle (in japan, there are these kinds of bicycles called mamachari that most moms with kids have, and they have seats where kids can sit at the back or the front). Anyways, I don’t remember what I saw or felt at that time because I was so young plus I was sleeping... but my mom recently told me that the utility poles were shaking sideways, even though we lived in a place that was about 400km (248.55 miles) away from where the earthquake occurred. and I think you guys know, but Japan suffers from A LOT of earthquakes. Earthquakes with the magnitude of 1 to 5 are quite normal for us because they happen all the time. But that doesn’t mean that we’re not scared of them. We definitely get scared and worried because we know big, tragic earthquakes can happen. Some people have traumas, because their mom, dad, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, friend, or pet passed away from an earthquake. or maybe because they witnessed big earthquakes or tsunamis before. In this 3.11.2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, more than 22,000 people have been reported dead or missing. Every Japanese citizen pray and mourn the loss of the victims on March 11th. Humans actually lose their lives from natural disasters like this, and in this case of earthquakes, people can die from 1)drowning from tsunamis 2)hit/squashed by furniture that fell to the ground (suffocation) 3)burned to death (by fire) 4)other diseases caused when a person spends their time at the evacuation shelter too much (this especially happens to old people/ the elderly, because they often have chronic illnesses/diseases.) I don’t know where you’re from, but some of you might think “wow this is so scary, but big earthquakes won’t happen in my country. we’re totally fine.”. I know, I really know- that earthquakes are rare in some countries. But I feel like it’s still better to prepare for them. In Japan, buildings have become stronger than ever, and citizens have prepared things just in case. Most of us have emergency kits/bags to bring outside when disasters happen. In Tokyo Disneyland, all employees participate in evacuation drills that are held about once in two days. What I’m trying to say is, preparation is necessary.. but even if we prepare a lot, sometimes we can’t win against nature. Sorry for writing this long. Thank you for all of the support - with money, materials, or words - people all around the world have given us. STAY SAFE FROM COVID!!
I was a 15-16 years old United States resident around the time of the tsunami. In the following months, a video surfaced about a UCLA student who made a racist rant against her fellow Asian students and family tradition, with one small mention of the 2011 tsunami. In light of the the racist attacks on the Asian American community recently in March 2021, that rant video resurfaced, as if to echo the prejudice that has always been lying hidden in the United States, but it also led me personally to find out about the 2011 tsunami now that I'm in my 20s. I looked up the documentaries and videos of the tsunami for myself, and so, for that UCLA student to make light of such a tragedy and gloss over that feeling of overwhelming despair that Japanese international students must have felt while they were rushing to contact their families, it broke my heart, and I hoped that this student really understood the gravity of what had happened by the time she took down her rant from TH-cam.
Джейсон Хичкок so you went and dropped a couple of nuclear bombs on them. Bet you’d scream and shriek if some were dropped on you. You cannot defend the indefensible
I could not help but feel a strong sympathy and deep respect for the Japanese people, still thriving on top of such calamities as Tsunamis, Earthquakes, .... !
@@MrReymoclif714 bro i agree but stop comparing countries. The original commenter was talking about Japan’s strength. Nothing to do with the Netherlands.
@@AziaticAmericas During the first couple of milliseconds of the blast, yes technically. But after that the explosion quickly loses speed until it basically travels at the speed of sound.
The big one happened on the New Year’s Day in Japan too. Even though there wasn’t this big tsunami, many people have died and there are still people who are stuck under the collapsed houses. I just hope things get better soon Please well-prepared and gather information for natural disasters, my friends in all over the world 😢
The fact that Japan has suffered so much in their past and is still one of the top tier economies in the world is just mind blowing. Edit : there's so much toxicity in the replies like dayum, I'm talking abt natural disasters
Yeah it blows my mind that less than 100 years ago they were eating human beings. Now they are seen as cultured, polite, albeit racist af, but put out great anime!
They had other countries under their belt for decades. If your going to say that what they went through in the past is “suffering” look at what they did to South Korea and how they captured and tortured them. I don’t respect Japan at all because of this.
I am from Turkey. We had 2 earthquake magnitute 7.7 and 7.4 only in 9 hours different. We lost 42k people around as officially it's been announced but as me, all others don't trust this number. We are sure we lost much more. Just respect to all japan construction engineers and related foundations who loves people, and believe nature is more stronger than whatever construct. Only clue is to be fair, which we dont have in Turkey unfortunately.
kaya natin to guys. pray lng palagi para safe kahit saan pupunta. mag ingat kayo guys ha? paabot na dw kasi ung the big one. pero alam ko kaya natin to pinoy tayo eh❤️❤️ Si Lord na ung bahala saten. ingat palagi!💚💙
my grandpa and grandma was still there during this incident, im so happy their house was far away enough from the tsunami. massive respect for those who helped and or died.
Literally Noone: TH-cam: Hey check out his video you might like based on your browsing patterns! Everyone: wHy wAs tHiS iN mY rEcOmMenDeD????? yOutUbE iS dRuNk
I searched for Japanese gift wrapping techniques and TH-cam started recommending disaster videos. I get it. My gift wrapping has been disastrous. Much love to Japan though.
this is such a powerful and moving video, really well done! i can't help but think, though, that while it's important to show the devastation, shouldn't we also focus more on the resilience of the people affected? it feels like we often miss that part in discussions about disasters.
Some people just gave me correction : I was in Kyoto doing car inspection when this earthquake happened. Kyoto located about 360 kms from Tokyo and around 700 kms to Sendai, but the magnitude was so big that almost throw us to the floor. after that our manager call us for emergency meeting room. Before that, we didn't know that the epicentrum located offshore of Sendai. Our manager gave us quick brief, and I couldn't believe what was happened. Some of my friends call their family to check their condition with pale face. After that our factory cut off the air conditioner/heater because the government decide Kansai area must share the electricity with Kanto area. It was unforgettable experience for me. just sharing. sorry for my bad english Thanks for the correction :)
You have very good English. I lived in Fussa for 4 years and felt the earthquake as well. To say it was scary is an understatement. I'm glad you're safe.
I’m sorry to interrupt you, but umm firstly Kyoto is only about 500 km away from Tokyo and the epicenter was off the coast of Northern Japan, which is like another 500 km away from Tokyo. So technically, you were about 1000km away from the epicenter, I guess.
adrian huysman I know right! There was a special on NatGeo or Discovery, can't remember which, but it was about what would happen if humans died out. It would take the earth an estimated 500years to completely wipe our existence from its surface through natural means.
Only 500? That's seems quite minuscule. There would surely be some remnants of out technology left somewhere on the planet for a while longer than that I would think.
When PR is hit by a 9. quake it'll get plenty of coverage. Half the island will be in ruins and half the population will be heading for the mainland. Let's just count our blessings.
@Trickbaby I know people in P.R. and it's called sympathy since I've been fortunate enough not to experience those horrors. I pray you don't either since you have the balls to talk the talk now
Ik its a joke but If that was the case it should of been america or ph , japan is actually a very clean place , they dont throw their garbage on the water (i think its against the law)
I always admired the Japanese people for their kindness, grace and perseverance. The magnitude of this catastrophe was incomprehensible. Truly astonishing. I wish them all the best and pray that they have found peace. This was a monster the proportions of which are on a biblical scale. Just unbelievable.
@@marshwetland3808 Why do you say that? Where I live, if it gets flooded, everyone comes to help us with boats. And the US is in plenty of top 5 or top 10 lists.
@@ForwardTu I say that because Americans often call themselves the greatest democracy, but the democracy is very poor - you don't even have a popular vote that matters, and corporatism has hollowed out the rest of the democracy. Your child death rate has been going up and your life span has been going down, as a result.
@@marshwetland3808 Never heard of that "greatest democracy" stuff. Plenty of other countries have a higher child death rate than we do. The average American lifespan is 78-80 years old, so idk why you brought that up. There's a few people that can live up to 100 or more, although that's rare. There are plenty of bad things about America, like obesity, crime, etc....but we're still in the majority of greatest countries lists you can find on the internet. Could've mentioned other problems going on in America, but at the end of day, you came out of nowhere with an irrelevant comparison in response to a "The people of Japan remained calm as they helped each other" type of comment.
My heart breaks to all people who died.. also to the cats, and dogs, and pets.. 😭 Edit: I should have typed animals instead of pets but I think at that moment, I couldn't find the right term to use for some reason so I typed pets. Anyway, thanks for the hilarious replies and unexpected likes.
Japanese people are hardworking, intelligent , yet modest, polite and humble. I've always been a big admirer. If we Indians could be like them, we will for sure become a super power. Love from India
loveAll What does being a superpower mean to an Indian? China, Russia, and the US. Those countries have one thing in common, and it's the pursuit of hegemony. It's kind of pathetic, because the whole world knows that empires never persist. In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter to be a superpower? Humans are puny, and dogmatic to a fault. Potential you say, that could also be said to multiple countries all over the world. To put it simply, Indians aren't special. No one is.
This tragedy and the subsequent aftermath showed the dignity of the Japanese people as the coped with rebuilding their lives and communities. Respect .
I literally can’t even imagine being in that situation. Just looking out at the city and watching water pour in and tear everything down. That is insane
Dankrupt I had something alike in my city. It wasn't that catastrophic in terms of lives or structures, but I can try to explain. I had the luck of living in the highest zone, suddenly power goes off. Being a nerd I go out on the balcony, swearing, and the first thing I see is cars and scraps being carried away by brownish water. The garages are exploding under the water pressure resulting in suffering metal roars. People are screaming everywhere. Always seen such things only on tv, moments between panic and realization, and Plinius the Elder in me ventures outside to admire the ruthless power of nature. Plan was basically running back at the smallest sign of water rising, but I had to see it. I stuck around until night, the water level stabilized, and saw how the city reacted. The saving boats trying to evacuate blocked citizens hiding on higher floors in the case the building crumbled puzzled me. Where once was landscape now was water. I would lie if I said I remember everything. The memory consists of scattered moments, with unexplainable, unmeasurable curiosity and excitement. I cannot say for sure, but the water level arose minimum 20-22 meters and lasted minimum 7/8 hours (I used one bridge as reference). This was caused by a voluntary, desperate but necessary dam opening after many days of red alarm. Most of my city was built ignoring security measures along the river, as a result of corruption and laziness. I lost nothing, but many people I know lost their house and car. The victim count should be less than 10, 'cause luckily the water didn't really manage to make bigger building crumble. The community reunited itself after the tragedy and rebuilt anew. My point of view was, obviously, a lucky one, and therefore I cannot describe you how does it feel to be fighting for life, but once I realized I was safe, I was mesmerized by such power.
Dankrupt I'm totally fine, it was years ago. I just wanted to provide a non obvious point of view. I'd imagine every one of those people sitting on the roofs and watching their city get washed away pretty scared too, but instead having already experienced (a way smaller version of) it, what I wanted to say is that some may just watch with big children eyes not caring at all what's happening in the exact moment. And even in the aftermath, some may perceive it as a thing they're glad they've experienced, such "luck" and a story to tell.
I feel sorry for Japan and it's people Japan is one the finest country but nature is not in the favor of Japanese Still Japan is one of the leading country LOVE FROM INDIA
I remember watching this happen on TV live. it was late, like 2am or something. My wife and I watched in awe, we couldn't do much, but we donated as much money as we could at that time hoping it would get to where it needed to go. I'll never forget this event.
Almost 10 yrs have passed already from that unforgettable day.. I never forget a week I spent with no electricity, no water, no information, no supermarkets, but also never forget the warmth of ppl who shared me food and some water and the sky full of stars.
They have so many natural disasters and so Little resources; that was their excuse to invade their neighbors by wars so Japanese could occupy their lands and take the resources. Slaughtered 300,000 in just one city in China unnecessarily! God bless them? Who bless their neighbors? Don’t believe it? Go visit the WWII Japanese slaughtering museum in Nanking!
Exactly what I was taking note of, I guess I'll be the next one to leave that up top...strange algos..."2011 era vid and U2ooB finds this "suggestion" to 10's of thousands of people 🤔...
I will never forget that day as I watched the people of Japan go through this ordeal. And the days that followed. So much destruction and heartbreak from the loss of life and yet even more resilience. Respect and may your loved ones rest in peace.
Thank you to everyone around the world for their support for the disaster areas in Japan. Today is the tenth year since the Great East Japan Earthquake. I live in Fukushima. There are still aftershocks, so I can't help myself every day, but we are all working hard toward reconstruction.
I remember this day quite well. I’m an American and was in the states but I cried in front of the tv for a while. I was in hospital and all I could do was just stare at the news. One of the patients in my unit was Japanese. I felt so bad. I’m glad you’re rebuilding.
Plasser1000 as a country that have too many earthquakes and tsunamis, I think they're investing a lot in their architecture and engineering for building to at least withstand or strectch the time before the damage from the impact takes place. Japan is a first world country after all and their technology is world class.

You're right, but whatever they do in Japan IS NOT going to stop the power of an earthquake strong enough to do what it did in 2011, or worse. Nature is nature and natural disasters, unfortunately, are going to happen. Very sad.
The Fukushima TEPCO nuclear reactor failures and explosions from melt downs is almost in the same condition as when they exploded due to lack of cooling water since the tsunami. Nuclear waste is stored poorly and ground water running through the damaged reactors enter the ocean highly radioactive, that's a problem for all human beings and marine life. Search this on TH-cam it's unbelievable. I'm sorry for the Japanese people and also for the rest of us as radioactive contamination affects all of us.

It has been 12 years since the earthquake today.I am Japanese. When the earthquake occurred, I was in an elementary school in Kanagawa prefecture, next to Tokyo. Although it was far from the epicenter, we felt a very strong tremor. I remember being very shocked when I first saw the footage of the tsunami.Many people lost their lives due to the tsunami. Tsunamis can happen anywhere on Earth. I hope that this footage will be used to help reduce the number of people who lose their lives in tsunamis.
I live in Indonesia, and same with Japan, we struggle a lot because of tsunami, thanks for your sharing my brother 🙏

Hi, I’m Japanese and I was 4 years old when this happened.
I guess I’m fluent in English because I lived in America before.
I decided to write this because recent reports say that there’s going to be a very big earthquake coming up in Japan in the next 10 to 30 years.
By the way I’m copying and pasting this to most of the Great East Japan Earthquake videos I can find, so that many people can read it :)
4 years old is the age when I was in preschool (or kindergarten?), and I was on my mom’s bicycle (in japan, there are these kinds of bicycles called mamachari that most moms with kids have, and they have seats where kids can sit at the back or the front).
Anyways, I don’t remember what I saw or felt at that time because I was so young plus I was sleeping... but my mom recently told me that the utility poles were shaking sideways, even though we lived in a place that was about 400km (248.55 miles) away from where the earthquake occurred.
and I think you guys know, but Japan suffers from A LOT of earthquakes. Earthquakes with the magnitude of 1 to 5 are quite normal for us because they happen all the time.
But that doesn’t mean that we’re not scared of them. We definitely get scared and worried because we know big, tragic earthquakes can happen. Some people have traumas, because their mom, dad, sister, brother, grandma, grandpa, friend, or pet passed away from an earthquake. or maybe because they witnessed big earthquakes or tsunamis before.
In this 3.11.2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, more than 22,000 people have been reported dead or missing.
Every Japanese citizen pray and mourn the loss of the victims on March 11th.
Humans actually lose their lives from natural disasters like this, and in this case of earthquakes, people can die from
1)drowning from tsunamis
2)hit/squashed by furniture that fell to the ground (suffocation)
3)burned to death (by fire)
4)other diseases caused when a person spends their time at the evacuation shelter too much (this especially happens to old people/ the elderly, because they often have chronic illnesses/diseases.)
I don’t know where you’re from, but some of you might think “wow this is so scary, but big earthquakes won’t happen in my country. we’re totally fine.”. I know, I really know- that earthquakes are rare in some countries. But I feel like it’s still better to prepare for them. In Japan, buildings have become stronger than ever, and citizens have prepared things just in case. Most of us have emergency kits/bags to bring outside when disasters happen. In Tokyo Disneyland, all employees participate in evacuation drills that are held about once in two days.
What I’m trying to say is, preparation is necessary.. but even if we prepare a lot, sometimes we can’t win against nature.
Sorry for writing this long.
Thank you for all of the support - with money, materials, or words - people all around the world have given us.
STAY SAFE FROM COVID!!
Hey Lisa, you write in English wonderfully. Thank you for your compelling comment
Thank you for sharing this story! Love from Canada
This was great information! Thank you!
I was a 15-16 years old United States resident around the time of the tsunami.
In the following months, a video surfaced about a UCLA student who made a racist rant against her fellow Asian students and family tradition, with one small mention of the 2011 tsunami.
In light of the the racist attacks on the Asian American community recently in March 2021, that rant video resurfaced, as if to echo the prejudice that has always been lying hidden in the United States,
but it also led me personally to find out about the 2011 tsunami now that I'm in my 20s. I looked up the documentaries and videos of the tsunami for myself,
and so, for that UCLA student to make light of such a tragedy and gloss over that feeling of overwhelming despair that Japanese international students must have felt while they were rushing to contact their families, it broke my heart, and I hoped that this student really understood the gravity of what had happened by the time she took down her rant from TH-cam.

this is such a powerful and moving video, really well done! i can't help but think, though, that while it's important to show the devastation, shouldn't we also focus more on the resilience of the people affected? it feels like we often miss that part in discussions about disasters.
Some people just gave me correction :
I was in Kyoto doing car inspection when this earthquake happened. Kyoto located about 360 kms from Tokyo and around 700 kms to Sendai, but the magnitude was so big that almost throw us to the floor.
after that our manager call us for emergency meeting room. Before that, we didn't know that the epicentrum located offshore of Sendai. Our manager gave us quick brief, and I couldn't believe what was happened. Some of my friends call their family to check their condition with pale face. After that our factory cut off the air conditioner/heater because the government decide Kansai area must share the electricity with Kanto area. It was unforgettable experience for me.
just sharing. sorry for my bad english
Thanks for the correction :)
your english is great! :)
You have very good English. I lived in Fussa for 4 years and felt the earthquake as well. To say it was scary is an understatement. I'm glad you're safe.
@@dity9442 thank you. I'm glad you safe as well.
Your manager find the impostor and push the emergency button
I’m sorry to interrupt you, but umm firstly Kyoto is only about 500 km away from Tokyo and the epicenter was off the coast of Northern Japan, which is like another 500 km away from Tokyo. So technically, you were about 1000km away from the epicenter, I guess.

I literally can’t even imagine being in that situation. Just looking out at the city and watching water pour in and tear everything down. That is insane
Dankrupt I had something alike in my city. It wasn't that catastrophic in terms of lives or structures, but I can try to explain. I had the luck of living in the highest zone, suddenly power goes off. Being a nerd I go out on the balcony, swearing, and the first thing I see is cars and scraps being carried away by brownish water. The garages are exploding under the water pressure resulting in suffering metal roars. People are screaming everywhere. Always seen such things only on tv, moments between panic and realization, and Plinius the Elder in me ventures outside to admire the ruthless power of nature. Plan was basically running back at the smallest sign of water rising, but I had to see it. I stuck around until night, the water level stabilized, and saw how the city reacted. The saving boats trying to evacuate blocked citizens hiding on higher floors in the case the building crumbled puzzled me. Where once was landscape now was water. I would lie if I said I remember everything. The memory consists of scattered moments, with unexplainable, unmeasurable curiosity and excitement. I cannot say for sure, but the water level arose minimum 20-22 meters and lasted minimum 7/8 hours (I used one bridge as reference). This was caused by a voluntary, desperate but necessary dam opening after many days of red alarm. Most of my city was built ignoring security measures along the river, as a result of corruption and laziness. I lost nothing, but many people I know lost their house and car. The victim count should be less than 10, 'cause luckily the water didn't really manage to make bigger building crumble. The community reunited itself after the tragedy and rebuilt anew. My point of view was, obviously, a lucky one, and therefore I cannot describe you how does it feel to be fighting for life, but once I realized I was safe, I was mesmerized by such power.
Ivan M. Wow I’m sorry you had to experience that. Glad you’re ok
Dankrupt I'm totally fine, it was years ago. I just wanted to provide a non obvious point of view. I'd imagine every one of those people sitting on the roofs and watching their city get washed away pretty scared too, but instead having already experienced (a way smaller version of) it, what I wanted to say is that some may just watch with big children eyes not caring at all what's happening in the exact moment. And even in the aftermath, some may perceive it as a thing they're glad they've experienced, such "luck" and a story to tell.
Nobody cares

Literalike seriously?
I will never forget that day as I watched the people of Japan go through this ordeal. And the days that followed. So much destruction and heartbreak from the loss of life and yet even more resilience. Respect and may your loved ones rest in peace.
Thank you to everyone around the world for their support for the disaster areas in Japan.
Today is the tenth year since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
I live in Fukushima. There are still aftershocks, so I can't help myself every day, but we are all working hard toward reconstruction.
I remember this day quite well. I’m an American and was in the states but I cried in front of the tv for a while. I was in hospital and all I could do was just stare at the news. One of the patients in my unit was Japanese. I felt so bad. I’m glad you’re rebuilding.
everyone in the world knows that America tested a nuclear bomb and recorded an explosion, only stupid people believe in the power of nature
Are u ok from the nuclear disaster?
rip🙏🏽 7 years later but not fully recovered.
Plasser1000 as a country that have too many earthquakes and tsunamis, I think they're investing a lot in their architecture and engineering for building to at least withstand or strectch the time before the damage from the impact takes place. Japan is a first world country after all and their technology is world class.
You're right, but whatever they do in Japan IS NOT going to stop the power of an earthquake strong enough to do what it did in 2011, or worse. Nature is nature and natural disasters, unfortunately, are going to happen. Very sad.
Plasser1000 Do you know if they are still recovering?
To some extent, they probably still are recovering.
The Fukushima TEPCO nuclear reactor failures and explosions from melt downs is almost in the same condition as when they exploded due to lack of cooling water since the tsunami. Nuclear waste is stored poorly and ground water running through the damaged reactors enter the ocean highly radioactive, that's a problem for all human beings and marine life. Search this on TH-cam it's unbelievable. I'm sorry for the Japanese people and also for the rest of us as radioactive contamination affects all of us.
How are you standing again and again after every calamity.
Japan: I can do this for all day
🤣🤣🤣
Their resilience and resolve is unlike any other.
Oppai
Take out the word "for"
2020:
