Japan tsunami : A Pandemonium

A massive and destructive Tsunami with magnitude of 8.9 earthquake on march 11, 2011 has shook the world that nature can be so merciless and unforgiving. Almost more than 10000 people dead or missing and destruction of infrastructures and assets worth +100 billion US$ will be another big challenge for Japan. World's third biggest economic power may find it difficult to hold this position for long after recently being pushed from 2nd position by China. Nuclear Reactors leakages and recent blast in Fukushima Reactor has added to the woes and radiations pose another grave danger. All this has made countries like Russia and others with lot of Reactors to rethink safety measures in such extreme kind of natural disasters. To me visuals on TV screen looked like I was watching some upcoming sequel of films like 2012. It was hard for me to believe that it was real until I kept myself glued to the TV for continuous updates. After Tsunami, it's now radiations from nuclear reactors that's worrying the world about Japan's future generations. Disaster on such a large scale after world war II has made future so bleak. Mass evacuations around damaged reactors and fear of radiations from another damaged reactor is making all the recovery more difficult. Radiations will surely have long term damage to the soil, living things and environment around for years. I hope Japanese resurrect themselves with more strength and far better, safer future.

This tragedy speaks of many things that developed nations need to understand. Relying, experimenting and extending alternate sources of energy for their power needs is actually a venture of dangerous kind without understanding impact of its accidental failures in both forms -nature and human initiated . The future is always uncertain and hidden but predictions of dangers on the nature of venture is a must and it was seen in Australia where anti-nuclear demonstrators made noise and then I realised that there are people who actually understand the dangers of such power sources. Its just like living in areas where hydrogen and atom bombs are planted in the form of reactors...Every country is making a statement that their reactors are safe...but how much? They must not forget that Japan is one of the most technologically and scientifically advanced country in the world. If the best can fail, surely others have no chance and no one knows about largeness of natural disasters coming. Our hunger for more advanced future actually adds to our woes which is unseen with the eyes and mind that enjoys technology so much. In 1945, it was US atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that made life a death for millions for years to come and till today. Fukushima radiations and three nuclear reactor explosions in 2011 is the biggest tragedy after World War II in Japan so who takes the responsibility of this explosion? must be our hunger for more advancements. Radiations are reaching as far as Tokyo and people have been told to stay indoors. People are scared and nervous about the coming days. Radiations reaching as far as Vladivostok in Russia and rest of the countries in the radius are alarmed. Mass evacuations, cancer, internal organ disorders, hair loss, skin diseases and genetic disorders for generations to come. Ordinary people always lose so much and people in power keep giving statements and statements to cover their failures and justify routes of dangerous scientific methods. always same everywhere.
