"The massive 9.0 earthquake nine days ago, and the subsequent tsunami, has left nearly 8,500 people dead, some 13,000 missing, and nearly a half million homeless" -Source: cbsnews
As you may or may not have heard, Japan got hit by a tsunami and an earthquake. This time, the destructions were devastating. To top that off, they have been having trouble with the nuclear powerplants.
When I first heard this on the news, I was shocked. I was basically minding my own business, when there was an announcement in Japanese on the site I was watching my anime on. You all know how much I adore anime, and the fact that anime is made in Japan (and because of their awesome food, clothes, culture, language etc.) has made me even more excited to visit the fantastic country. But due to the stupid circumstances at the moment, I wouldn't really enjoy my time there, now would I?
This topic really is useless, it is just me being nostalgic and emo because of what has happened.
But I would really like to hear what you think about this, do you have any comments that you'd like to share?
The chinese are so good about building huge walls. Why cant japan do a little copy and build a massive walll around whole japan? and yes. Japan got raped (again).

I believe it would be very expensive to build over 10 meters high wall that would hold the tsunami. Otherwise I believe they would've already made things like that.

I believe that anyone could build a wall, it just takes time and effort.. and if you're serious, money.
"The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups."
Above is a quote from Wikipedia, and the wall was mainly built to protect former China from enemies. The reason the wall is not-so-high is because it would take A LOT more time just to make it higher. And as it is now it already took many centuries building it, and over one million people died building it.
Japan is just unlucky - it's an island situated near water (tsunamis), and it's situated on one of the tectonic plates (earthquakes).
I was referring a bit to that ^^, basically they can get struck by both tsunamis and earthquakes. They're not the only ones, but I haven't heard of another country that has had the same accident with the same amount of mediatime.
And yeah, there was a tsunami inside my bathtub yesterday (lol) XD.
I feel very sorry for Japan and the peoples there. . . I'm sending 1000 Euros each day to help them, I hope you will do the same (The money are for the big wall that Sasha talked about)
