2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the strongest ever recorded in Japan, struck off Tōhoku, triggering waves up to 40 meters high that overwhelmed seawalls built for smaller disasters. Nearly 16,000 died, most by drowning. The tsunami knocked out cooling at Fukushima Daiichi, causing meltdowns in three reactors. Damage totaled roughly $220 billion, the costliest natural disaster on record, reigniting a global debate over nuclear safety. #tohoku

@bweller it's interesting that battlefields were considered accursed in myth and folklore. People used to make fun of those stories, buuuut those people have never been part of a #CBRNE (bio/chem) outfit in charge of organizing such clean ups.
After #Tohoku quake/ #Fukushima, Japan called for AND cancelled OPERATION TOMODACHI (2011). It was called for because the plains near the area were flooded and settled with all sorts of nasty stuff. It was cancelled because can´t look bad, lose face.
