TOKYO -- Japan, a country lulled by the reassuring rhythms of order and predictability, has been jolted by earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis into an unsettling new reality: lack of control.

Hope there won't be a meltdown of reactor, otherwise i can't imagine the damage.

After all these, they have to worry about reactor's meltdouwn and contamination... What's people's fault? .. Why should they suffer this much pain all at once?
ReplyDeleteI remember reading a quote That says, "Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope."
so don't give up hope..

I hope there is no further damage in Japan.
ReplyDeleteI read the article about 50 people remained in atomic power station to stop the explosion while everyone escaped from that area. I pray that they survive and protect the plant and city from explosion. Read about possible huge volcano euruption too.. I am glad that many conuntries including USA are sending relief goods to Japan.
It is really sad that so many inocent people had to die without reason.
I will pray for Japan.

A week ago today we all watched in disbelief, as the country with such a strong infrastructure, fell to disarray and destruction. After class today I watched the video of the two dogs, and observed with great sadness the humanity even with animals. It made me think about the people there, and still after all this devestation, they remain orderly, respectful, and helpful to one another. It makes me think about if this had happened somewhere else, would the people behave in the same way? Or would there be stealing, violence and chaos after such a destruction? Fear makes people react in different ways. My heart goes out to the people of Japan and what they have to endure...

ReplyDeleteI hope you're well.

I really hope they get better soon me and my mom donated to Japan. It just too much for one country and one same day to get earthquake, tsunami, and fire...
ReplyDeleteGodblessyouJPN.
how are you doing Professor? just came across your site to see how you were doing... and as always there is alot of information in this site. I am glad you guys are talking about this kinds of things, I would have loved to be in your class having a discussion right now... well, just so you know I am in Okinawa and I am doing good.... been doing so much training that I don't really get a chance to check the news or anything so maybe I'll check your site from time to time.

ReplyDeleteI'm doing well, thanks. Great to hear from you. Since you're in Okinawa I would think your service is tied into the aftermath of the quake. All of us are concerned about the welfare of the people there. Your great contributions are appreciated. Thank you.
Stay in touch and be well.
