Earthquake Japan

Japanese people are setting the example

The Japanese people are doing an incredible job of maintaining order and calm during one of the worst natural disasters in recent memory. Stories keep pouring in about the kindness and generosity Japanese people are showing towards each other - like the man who grabbed the last 10 bottles of water at the store but put most of them back so others could have them. Americans are amazing in times of need as well, but let's be honest - have we ever had a disaster of this magnitude where there wasn't any looting? Amazingly, that's the case in Japan. Ref. Source 4

Local Japanese News In English

Radiation fears have prevented authorities from collecting as many as 1,000 bodies of victims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami from within the 20-km-radius evacuation zone around the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, police sources said Thursday. One of the sources said bodies had been "exposed to high levels of radiation after death." The view was supported by the detection Sunday of elevated levels of radiation on a body found in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, about 5 km from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
