The Japanese Disaster

                Hey bloggers! This is your friendly neighborhood N.A.B.B tuning in! Unfortunately, there are often chapters in the pages of history which are affected negatively by horrible disasters brought upon the brutal forces of nature. In the past 3 weeks, the nation of Japan was confronted with one of the worst disasters man has ever seen.  What makes the events in Japan even more devastating is that no one, but a triumvirate of happenings has shaken Japan to its core; a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, a terrible tsunami, and finally a nuclear disaster resembling that of Chernobyl in 1986.

                It all started midday of March 11 2011, a date all Japanese will remember for the years to come. Even though this seemed to be a typical day at work, at 2:46pm local, Japan experienced a 9.0 earthquake whose epicenter was in the ocean a couple of miles north of Japan. Although  it was the biggest Earthquake ever recorded in Japan, this event itself did not cause as many problems, due to the rigorous building codes implemented in Japan. But, since this massive earthquake had an epicenter in the ocean, the most terrifying natural disaster was created in a matter of minutes; a tsunami. This 100 foot high wave rushed towards Japan, and trashed the northern coast (especially a city called Sendai). To make matters worse, the tsunami sabotaged the systems at one of Japans main nuclear power plants, causing the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986.

                It is clear that this chain reaction of events would destroy the moral and structure of most of the nations around the world. Even though thousands are dead and millions are homeless, the high moral and order held by the Japanese society is truly admirable. It is our duty to help the poor Japanese, by donating to the Red Cross and other organizations with the ability to help.

                Thanks for tuning in on N.A.B.B, I’ll keep in touch!
