Japan's Diasaster Day

In Japan there was a devastating earthquake that had crushed lots of houses. This caused a Tsunami that swiped all the cars and broke roads. It was a huge disaster for the people in Japan and it was unexpected. Tokyo was engulfed by a tsunami which covered most of the area.

The earthquake hardly caused any suffering compared to the tsunami. Japan has had so many earthquakes that they have an earthquake sensor on their mobile phones that will tell them when an earthquake is about to occur.

A wall of water swiped all the people that lived on the side of the coast. It had completely destroyed the city. It was so bad that it created twice the damage than the Christchurch earthquake. The magnitude was 8.9 on the Richter scale.

A Nuclear plant exploded because the earthquake caused it. When it exploded it looked like a mushroom of smoke. I feel sorry for the families that have lost a family member. I also feel sad because so many people died, and many homes were destroyed.

This is the second time it has happened. The Earthquake had demolished Christchurch, and turned it into a disaster zone.

While the earthquake was happening there were tumbling buildings that were crushing people. It must of been sad for the families that have lost a family member, or family members, that got crushed under all the debris and rubble The Prime Minister named it as New Zealands darkest Day.

The people that got crushed under the rubble got seriously injured or even dead, thats how bad it is. So far the death toll is 75, and their are 300 people missing. If you didn't see anything about it you go on Google and type in Christchurch earth earthquake.

Christchurch Earthquake

On Saturday morning there was an earthquake in Christchurch, the size was seven point one on the Richter scale.

The earthquake destroyed lots of old good houses and broke some sewage and water pipes. Lots of houses had collapsed and there were massive cracks in the ground and in the roads. There were broken cars, houses, roads and bent railway tracks.

There were some pretty dangerous places by houses because glass was still falling from them and were shattering over the ground. Sewage pipes were broken and then all the sewage water got mixed with the tap water so they told everyone to boil their water.

If I was in Christchurch when the earthquake happened I would have been scared because I might have got squashed. Anyway I feel sorry for the people in Christchurch because some people must have paid a lot of money on their car or house and now they are broken and damaged.
