Japan

Today is a very sad day for millions of people, not only in Japan but around the whole world! I do not think there will be one person that will not be affected by what has happened today.....

A 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off shore in Northern Japan (the 4th largest in the world since the 1900) causing a huge Tsunami which wiped out many towns and villages on the whole cost line.... what a very sad day..... thousands of people have died... whole families..... people are digging through the left over rubble searching for loved ones so they can lay them to rest.... I can not even imagine how this must feel, I just keep seeing the footage on the TV, Internet and in the News Papers at the whole devastation and all the broken hearted people searching and looking lost... where do they go now..... below is a link just to show what it was like before and then after...

It is very hard to believe such devastation could be caused, Japan have had many Earthquakes and have built to withstand then, however this one was just too big.

Not only has the Earthquake and Tsunami flattened the coast, but it has also damaged 3 Nuclear Reactors... 2 of which are badly damaged and now leaking radiation! There have been a couple of explosions, but I do not think we will get the whole picture until later.... just one thing to another...... if these things blow then.... well I can not even say..........

Just keep fingers, toes, arms, EVERYTHING crossed in hope that the Nuclear Power Plants are controlled!

R.I.P to all who have died in this terrible disaster, my thoughts will always be with you xx
