The recent Tsunami devastated the not only Japan's local industries but telecommunications and nuclear power plant as well. A massive 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan at around 2:46pm on March 11 (JST) causing damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami (source: http://www.google.com/crisisresponse/japanquake2011.html). The large earthquake triggered a tsunami alert in some countries facing Pacific Ocean that includes Australia, Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia and New Zealand. Even in the regions in Pacific including South America, US west coast, Canada and Alaska received high alert warnings for the wake of tsunami. Being situated in the earthquake belt, Japan, as the most prepared earthquake nation, faced the terror of the natural calamity that even the technological preparedness has been thrown.
The technological advancement of Japan have saved them during the recent earthquake alert and its aftershocks that lasted for several minutes. Their earthquake shock proof building danced its way to the beat of the quake and stand itself from falling. Their power plant has been shut down as they received a tsunami alert that would hit the coast of Japan making making some of the establishments unavailable. The social media and communications played a major role in informing the people across the globe. Twitter and Facebook updates have created its way in updating the status and keeping their situation updated. Needless to say, communication and networking were the key to allowing the information spread.
Why has Japan face this calamity of the years?
Dolphins, as one of the most intelligent and friendly creature, has been mass slaughtered by Japan through these years making humans its most dangerous predator. Some organizations have reached help to stop this cruelty and even ask for their hearts to stop exploiting the oceans and the creatures that live in them. Japan This short documentary video is the proof of how these people show no mercy in killing dolphins.
I found this video at youtube that says "The japanese kill about 20 000 dolphins every year, and their method is pretty cruel, as this clip from the documentary "The Cove" shows. It also claims that dolphin meat has dangerous levels of mercury, and the Japanese government itself advices that pregnant women should not eat it." (source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g8_3MS9x50&feature=related). These just proves that the Japanese Government does not care for the ocean life, thus giving them these kinds of calamities through the years.
