日本大海啸 Tsunami Hits Japan!

Japan has been hit by the worst tsunami ever on 11th March 2011, creating devastation all over this Asian country of Japan. The world witnessed one of the worst tsunami of Japan’s history that was really massive. The last massive tsunami were heard about was on 26th December 2004. For more than two terrifying, seemingly endless minutes, the powerful 8.9 magnitude earthquake shook apart homes and buildings, cracked open highways and unnerved even those who have learned to live with swaying skyscrapers. Then came a devastating tsunami that slammed into northeastern Japan.

The violent wall of water swept away houses, cars and ships. Fires burned out of control. Power to a cooling system at a nuclear plant was knocked out, forcing thousands to flee. A boat was caught in the vortex whirlpool at sea.
