We have all seen the newscast and the world-wide reporting on this tsunami ---- magnitude and amount of damage.
After the dust cloud from the Tsunami and the exploding electrical transformers , then the magnitude of this starts to hit you.
When you realize these unsuspecting people living on a mountain top felt that they were safe and out of harms way. Think about their elevation when you see the houses & factory's below - accelerate up the hill. I personally think they never ever considered it coming up that high.
You will hear them speaking in calm tones of amazement much like spectators at a fireworks display. However, I wish I could understand Japanese, because there is a noticeable change in their voices & tone as the speed and height and amount of debris kept coming like a freight train. Directly toward their mountain top observation point.
When you see the people below them running up the hill, then attempting to save the last few precious possessions, but to be overcome and consumed in the river of rubble.
Wow.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable the destruction.
ReplyDeleteI feel very sorry for the Japanese people that had to suffer that Tsunami. Once an aggressor nation the people of Japan have only tried to contribute to the world with their products and innovation since the end of WWII.
