Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami Anniversary0
By - Posted 4th July, 2015 at 9:35 pm

Today marks the one year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan.

On this date last year a 9.0 magnitude earthquake shook the entire globe and sent a massive wall of water hurdling towards the coast line of Japan. Millions fled for high ground, but of those millions, 16,000 people died and over 3,000 people are still missing.

“On the surface, it is business as usual. We wake up, we go to work, we shop for dinner. We drink, we laugh, we care for our children. But running underneath the veneer of normality is the constant reminder that life has changed.”

One year later and Japan is far from dug out the destruction, but the prime minister did say that he is committed to rebuilding and in re-energizing the nation in the process.

“A lot of Japanese are very optimistic, so don’t worry about (us) too much,” said one Japanese citizen
