The Disaster Of World War II

Consequently, it would have led to contamination of the water and the spread of disease. 230 square miles of forest burned and got destroyed. This would have a great effect on the logging industry because there would not be as many trees for them to cut down. In addition to this it would have a great effect on wildlife as 1000s of animals' homes would have been destroyed. It destroyed or extensively damaged over 200 homes, destroyed/ damaged 185 miles (300 km) of road and destroyed/ damaged 15 miles of railways. Airports closed (from 2days → 2 weeks). Over a thousand commercial flights were cancelled following airport closures. Lastly, unemployment rose rapidly after eruption.

The effect of the disaster on the community was massive as it dramatically affected the tourism and fishing, restaurants and beaches, for the people who have livelihood depend on tourism and fishing, it led to many job losses.

Many innocent people were killed. They had no time to try to evacuate or fight back, instead, children in schools and women at home were turned into debris, injured or vaporized. Yoshitaka Kawamoto a boy who lived there explained “I crawled over the debris

Two most horrific events in world history occurred in World War Two. They are known as the holocaust and the Japanese war crimes. The question is, which was worse? And who actually recalls anything named "Japanese War crimes"? Both were unmerciful acts, but the criminals of the Japanese were never brought to justice. The Japense war crimes was worse, because they were killed, discriminated, and American soldiers cut their body parts alive or dead as souvenirs, this was known as American mutilation of Japanese war dead.

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 earthquake shook northeastern Japan. The earthquake was felt around the globe. Debris that was washed away still continues to wash up on the beaches of California and other beaches in the US. The residents of this small island are still recovering from this natural disaster. As a result of the earthquake, 19,000 lives were lost and 1.2 buildings were damaged. The earthquake/tsunami cost Japan $574 billion. To make matters worse, the waves of the tsunami damaged a nuclear power plant located in Japan and caused the radioactive material to leak out into the surrounding area.

Today at 11:58:44 a.m, sept 1 1923, a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.9 on the Richter scale has hit modern industrial cities of Tokyo, Yokohama and the surrounding areas, Japan. The earthquake duration was almost 4 minutes and the geologists called it Great Kanto earthquake. Thousands of houses have been crashed within seconds and many people have been killed, while thousands of homes and restaurants had started fires for noon day meal preparation. Number of death and casualties are estimated around 142,800 persons. There has been huge damage at the Tokyo and Yokohama. Thousands of houses were either shaken or burned down. Firefighters are trying to control fire in many areas but broken water pipes made water inaccessible to fight the

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake damaged a large portion of the eastern coast of Japan and formed a tsunami that caused nuclear reactors to become unstable. These three nuclear reactors that became unstable, made an already devastated place turn into a very hazardous place to be. The tsunami alone did insurmountable damage to the buildings on the east coast, this also resulted in thousands of people’s deaths. The tsunami blocked multiple roads and highways, cut off water and electricity for millions of households, and created an unfortunate situation for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plants. The nuclear power plants and the tsunami created a national crisis in Japan

The amount of destruction caused by World War II has been unparalleled to any other war ever. The death toll of World War II is one of the largest in all of history with 62-78 million people in total killed. During the time of the war, there were only 2 billion people on the planet, which means that this war killed off about 2% of the entire world’s population at that time. Of these deaths, over 6 million Jews died in the Nazi-run Holocaust, which was about two-thirds of the preexisting Jewish population (Olson-Raymer). In addition to the extensive number of deaths, many people became homeless. After the war, about 12 million people displaced persons had nowhere to come home to. The vast number of displaced persons were due to soldiers seizing

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and 100-foot high tsunami hit the northeastern shoreline of Japan. At least 28,000 people were killed or went missing and more than 400,000 homes and buildings were destroyed. Recovery and rescue efforts were difficult as a result of the cold weather and because of disrupted transportation routes. Making matters worse, the waves of the tsunami damaged the Fukushima nuclear power plant, causing radioactive leaks. in addition to devastating Japan’s economy in many ways, this natural disaster also had negative effects on the United States’ economy and construction industry, though not to the same extent.

The Japanese Tōhoku 2011 earthquake and tsunami was an extremely serious natural disaster that had many impacts to both land and people. This natural disaster is still recovering from the disaster till this day. The earthquake and tsunami caused flooding, landslides, fires, building damages and nuclear and radiation problems. Soon after the earthquake and tsunami a nuclear meltdown occurred. The total cost this natural disaster was about $300 million dollars. The 20th of March 2015 the National Japanese Police confirmed that 15,891 people died, 6,152 were injured and 2,584 were reported missing.

The triple disaster: earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident. The earthquake and tsunami caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse. Naoto Kan said, "In the 65 years after the end of World War II, this is the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan." Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water. The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the

Tohoku caused a lot of damage to not only the land, but to the buildings and people that inhabited the land. Because there was also a tsunami that followed tohoku, there was an increased amount of damage. Areas of Japan were being flooded, buildings were deteriorating, nuclear plants posed a risk and released a lot of radiation and many lives were taken. Tohoku affected Japan’s entire ecosystem, and they are still recovering to this day. With reference to the image shown to the right, you can see the main areas where people as well as buildings were affected, mostly by the tsunami that occurred. Another important issue that needs to be raised was the damage to the fukushima nuclear power plants where a lot of radiation was also released and

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake of 9.0 magnitude shook northeastern Japan, unleashing a terrible tsunami. Its repercussions were felt around the world, from Norway's fjords to Antarctica's ice sheet. Even up till today, about 230,000 people are still living in temporary housing. This example is only one of the many kinds of disasters that happen continually in the world.

All the disasters were started by an earthquake. The huge earthquakes then caused a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors. As the tsunami wave keep on hitting all the pools, reactors and where the generating of heat takes place, all parts of the station have had huge losses and damages. All 4 units had lost power at 3.42 pm, almost an hour after the quake, when the entire site was flooded by the 15-metre tsunami. Eleven reactors at four nuclear power plants in the region were operating at the time and all shut down automatically when the quake hit. When the diesel generators

On June 6, 2013, most parts of the Island of Guam went dark, which is due to an explosion of one of the electrical substations to one of the electrical power plants on the island (Aguon, 2013). The substation explosion’s immediate impact
