The Day the Earth Moved

On 11th March, 2011, at 14:46 local time, an undersea earthquake struck off the northeastern coast of Japan. The force of the earthquake, the most powerful in Japan's history, triggered a devastating tsunami. [1] The world faced a partial nuclear meltdown and the planet moved on its axis, shortening the length of every day by 1.8 milliseconds. It was a terrible national tragedy that the country will need a great deal of time to recover from.

In the days before the main earthquake, Japan had experienced quite a few foreshocks, some of which exceeded magnitude 7, but nothing could prepare the nation for the main shock, a magnitude 9 quake. It was strong enough to be felt hundreds of kilometres away in Tokyo, where buildings shook violently and many office workers ran out onto the streets terrified. [2] Much worse was yet to come as the authorities issued a tsunami warning.

Frantic residents headed for high ground, rooftops or upper floors of buildings. Soon after, a wall of water 10 m high in some places, rolled across the Pacific Ocean and crashed into the coast. [3] One giant wave even crashed through an airport in Sendai, leaving 1,300 people stranded on the upper floors. The waters reached up to 10 km inland before heading back out to sea, now loaded with debris and leaving a swamp-like landscape of landslides and mud. TV viewers couldn't believe their eyes as these scenes were broadcast around the world.

By this time, many areas were without electricity as pylons had crumbled, which caused a major disaster at Japan's nuclear power stations. [4] The government immediately ordered an evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents. Explosions rocked the plant as courageous technicians struggled to control the damage and prevent a nuclear meltdown.

Over the next few days, a large number of aftershocks continued to shake Japan, causing plenty of problems for rescue teams as they raced to find survivors. Several countries sent relief workers and the world held its breath while it waited to see how the tragedy would end. [5] Over 15,000 people died that day and thousands more were missing. Several amazing tales of survival came to the attention of the world's press, though. A 4-month-old baby girl was pulled alive from the rubble four days after the earthquake. A man was found clinging to his rooftop as it was floating 14 km out at sea 2 days after the tsunami. And there was the Japanese student in California, desperate for news of her lost family, who found them on a YouTube news clip. It showed her sister holding up a sign and sending a desperately-needed message of hope across the world: "We all survived."

1 b)

In March 2011, an undersea earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. Soon after, a 10-metre tsunami washed away houses and cars. The force of the quake was so immense that it moved an island by 2.4 metres. Nuclear power stations in the affected areas were closed down. As a result, half a million Japanese were evacuated from their houses, and 1.4 million people were left without running water.

(В марте 2011 года у побережья Японии произошло подводное землетрясение. Вскоре после этого 10-метровое цунами смыло дома и машины. Сила землетрясения была настолько огромной, что оно сдвинуло остров на 2,4 метра. Атомные электростанции в пострадавших районах были закрыты. В результате полмиллиона японцев были эвакуированы из своих домов, и 1,4 миллиона человек остались без водопровода.)
