It was a Black day in the history of mankind.
Japan was first hit by a massive earth quake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale which triggered a ruthless, destructive tsunami, which in turn has endangered its 7 nuclear reactors.
This happened close to Tokyo, but not in Tokyo. Thank God for that.
This time Japan's suffering is worse than Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atom bomb tragedy. But this time, Japan has the unanimous support of the entire world. It is so heart warming to see international rescue teams from all over the world work shoulder to shoulder with Japanese, trying to locate any trapped and living person - Not an easy task, considering how the Tsunami simply swept away entire houses as if they were paper boats. 1000s are dead, missing, injured, homeless. Food, electricity, water supply are hit.
Mighty Power of Nature
Just when Man thinks he has conquered nature, he is jolted to accept the "Mighty Power of Nature". Entire world watched in disbelief as the tsunami waves measuring 10m. in height rushing with the speed of an air-craft in flight simply clean swept villages.- looked like nature's Torpedo
What is indestructible is the human spirit to fight, survive, re-build.
The entire mankind sheds tears for the suffering in Japan. But there is also a sense of hope - we are positive Japan will simply emerge a greater nation than before in the shortest possible time. History is witness to this kind of re-bounce of mankind again and again in the face of adversities.
The saddest aspect of this whole tragedy is the complicated break-down of its 7 nuclear power plants and the radio-active emission threat that looms over Japan and possibly entire mankind today.
We the people of the world are with you Japan. May you get up, shake off all the debris, wash off the muck, and stand up tall, smiling, clean and beautiful once again asap.
Gratitude to all those media channels BBC, CNN, Google- YouTube instant uploads of videos for keeping us updated on all the happenings.
