disaster after disaster....


its as if the earthquake and tsunami wasnt bad enough... disaster continues to hit japan day after day....
it has been 4 days since the original earthquake.... the resulting tsunami causing tremendous damage, and 28 aftershocks following the first earthquake... 28!!!! and more than a handful of them were big earthquakes themselves....
yesterday, a volcano in japan woke up from its silence and started to spew smoke and ash all over a devasted country.....
and in the last 24 hours, the most serious of disaster broke out.... a nuclear power station pretty much overheated and blew up.... causing dangerous amounts of radiation to break through into the atmosphere....
the official death toll is over 4000, but with the number of people still missing, they fear that over 10,000 people died in the city of Miyagi alone....
this is modern tragedy at its peak.... and with the nuclear issue hitting the east coast of japan... it seems the serious issue is only beginning now....
