On 11th March 2011 (Friday), a 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck Japan. It was one of the strongest earthquake in recorded history.
According to the Associated Press, a massive 23-foot tsunami also hit the coast of Sendai.
It was horrible. Look at the pictures below.
See the difference between the coast of Sendai after the catastrophe. Gosh! The damage was done in a few hours time, but it takes decades to restore it back to its usual view again.
Not only that, the earthquake had caused an explosion at the nuclear reactor in Fukushima Daiichi. This explosion may lead to a possible meltdown at the nuclear plant. If this happens, another Three Mile or Chernobyl incident is going to happen. But until now, nothing happen yet. Let's hope that Japan won't be hit with another disaster again. [Praying~]
Residents being checked for radiation level in their body after being evacuated from the surrounding areas of the nuclear plant.
The death toll for this catastrophic event is estimated to be 10000. But I am not sure about the confirmed numbers.
