Tsunami / 8.9 Earthquake at Japan 3.11.11





       As you can see, i have found a video from the Japanese news. On March 11, 2011, Japan goes through a 8.9. magnitude earthquake that ha:pend at 2;46 p.m. Tokyo time, alternating a very strong Tsunami that swept through farmland across the northern part of the country.Air and Train traffic shut down. The cellphone communications also has stopped in some areas. A nuclear reactor 170 miles northeast of Tokyo had caught on fire, making the government to shut down of the facility as well as 11 other nuclear power plants. this earthquake is considered the worst to hit ANYWHERE according to the United States Geographical Survey.
      The earthquake was so strong it bring down buildings in Tokyo, 230 miles northeast of the center of the quake. Video footage's show that hundreds of cars, buildings, and homes had been destroyed by the sea along with Japans Northeast coast. According to the New York Times Journal, Japan's official death toll is more than 300 , but that number will soon rise . The part of Sendai, a large city of the epicenter of the quake, reports 200 deaths.
      The Japanese look forward to receiving help from the world as much as they did the same. They want to find out if they can rebuild Japan as it was but it would never be the same.
       Radio activity in Japan has also gotten into their food.Milk from a town and spinach from Ibaraki town both got tested positive in radioactive iodine. Also in water had strangely high radioactive iodine as well as radioactive caesium.Radioactive iodine can be absorbed into the thyroid gland and cause damage, with children and young adults with them being the ones with the most risk.
