[FunOnTheNet] Mega Earthquake and Tsunami Hit Japan...

 

An 8.9 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Northeast Japan spawned a ferocious tsunami that's caused massive destruction; flattening whole cities, starting raging fires, and killing hundreds. At least 350 people are dead and another 88,000 people are reported missing, according to the official Kyodo news agency. Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude tremor. A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels. The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists. Japanese nuclear officials said pressure inside a boiling water reactor at the plant was running much higher than normal after the cooling system failed. Thousands of people living near the nuclear power plant have been evacuated. Japan was struck by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday, unleashing a 10-metre tsunami that washed away cars and tore away buildings along the coast near the epicenter.
