Japan marks 14th anniversary of quake, tsunami, nuclear disaster

Stay strong Tohoku!! The most resilient people in the world.

A sad day in history.

Legacy nuclear reactors do not belong in areas prone to earthquakes like Japan. Hopefully new modular nuclear reactors with much lower temperatures can be used in the future, but naturally Govt. wants to milk dangerous aging legacy reactors for every last Yen of profit!

Guess where the people taking pictures are from…instead of praying

Every year, it's also the day when preparation or caution to next extensive "natural disaster" has been addressed to public through mainly major media in Japan.

But, opportunity that they talk about next "nuclear disaster" risk became little as same as before Fukushima disaster, though plural superannuated nuclear plants had been already restarted.

God bless Japan..

Pray or do nothing? Will have exactly the same effect.

If you mean to say you feel sorry for the people or wish it didn't happen then fine.

The day it happened, I remembered the jingling of metal mixed with the roaring of the earth more than anything, for what seemed like eternity.

I still remember the aftershocks, everyday for months on end.

I recall most of the foreigners fleeing the country, me being one of the few who stayed behind. I was stupid and naive then. I thought I was showing solidarity.

I remember losing my job because business dried up, falling into poverty, and getting rejected at interview after interview because "Foreigners can't be trusted to stay in the country. They leave."

Then, after using up all of my money and breaking my apartment lease early because I had no money, shacking up with a girl and doing medical experiments for money to go back home.

That was my 3/11 experience.
