As we all should know, a huge tragedy happened in Japan during March. The 9,1 seismic earthquake on the Richter Scale not only decimated buildings and killed people but it brought in one of the most dangerous of natures natural phenomenon: a tsunami. The tsunami all but finished the work the earthquake started destroying whole towns and killing more than 20,000 people. This would have been it, but to throw some more sauce into the triumvirate, the tsunami broke the refrigerating system of the nuclear plants in Fukushima creating a yet more alarming nuclear crisis in Japan. Yesterday, April 11 the Japanese prime minister asked his people and the world itself for some calm after the government raised the nuclear crisis state from a 5 to 7 out of 7, the maximum in an international scale.
Contrary to this the prime minister assures that the situation of the nuclear plants has improved, however Japanese regulators affirm that after assessing radiation leaks in one of the plants it was paramount to raise the level of alertness.
I believe it is of the utmost importance to send aid to Japan after the tremendous and horrific last month they have gone through. If they situation were to be even graver than before the world must fall in with Japan.
