Words fail to describe the devastation wreaked in Japan recently, The Japanese earthquake is unprecedented in its scale in recent history. To make matters worse the country was hit by a massive tsunami shortly afterwards which caused untold devastation and havoc. The tsunami was a massive tidal wave caused by the movement of the Earth's crust and headed towards Japan not stopping when it hit the coast. It continued inland and pummelled land, property, buildings and people. No one can even guess how many are missing and dead after this terrible disaster.
Now there are worries regarding the Fukushima power plant which has been leaking radiation and could go into meltdown. No one knows for sure what is happening as the Japanese nuclear industry has a history of secrecy. We all remember Chernobyl in the Eighties and the problems cause by radiation back then which quickly spread throughout Europe. It seems, for now at least, that the earthquake has not caused the scale of problems in Fukushima as were evident in Chernobyl.
Japan is one of the most modern countries in the world and surely if anyone can bounce back from a natural disaster of this magnitude then it is them. They have shown how they can pick themselves up and dust themselves off before. After the devastation of the two nuclear bombs dropped in August 1945 Japan rebuilt itself to become one of the technological and economic power houses of the world. Granted their economy has seen better days and after the economic slump of the Nineties it may look as though their best days are far behind them. That would be foolish, the Japanese will take this in their stride and rebuild bigger and better than before.
After a natural disaster such as this earthquake and then tsunami the Japanese people have a huge job ahead of them but so long as things do not get any worse and the power plant is stabilised and none of the nuclear cores goes critical and melts down then I believe that they can do it and that they will.
