The recent spate of unfortunate events has brought people to their limits. First, it was the middle eastern countries in protest of their governments, then Japan met with a series of disasters.
Last Fri, a level 9 earthquake shook Japan. This was followed by a deadly tsunami that swept across the northeast coastline of Japan. People were unprepared, taken aback.
Thousands are dead, maybe more.
As if these were not enough, there came several aftershocks.
Then, the nuclear radiation.
My heart goes out to the people in Japan. Nature has its fury, and fury has no eyes.
But what happened to strengthening the 40 year old nuclear plant? Didn't the authorities foresee or plan for a possible emergency? Why were people living near the surroundings of the nuclear plant anyway?
Whatever questions asked, I believe the government is now too busy dealing with the massive destruction, than to answer questions that can be studied later.
The terrible images on the Internet, TV, Iphone gave me a massive headache. I even went to see a doctor for that. I was told, my headache is caused by stress.
My favourite country, is now suffering.
Some people believed that it is their retribution for their deeds during WW2.
Well...
Japanese remain calm (or at least they try to) and I applaud that. I do hope that our donations reach them in time, and that their government can rescue as many people as possible.
Pls don't leave them to suffer.
Japan, be strong!
