THE DESTRUCTION

The earthquake was quite large.!! The earthquake measured 9.0 on the Richter Scale that struck off Japan's north-east coast, about 250 miles (400km) from Tokyo at a depth of 20 miles. This wasn't the only thing that happened that afternoon. There was even worse to get. There was a Nuclear Power Plant near the shore , and when the huge wave spilled , the power plant went into meltdown. The molten nuclear fuel leaked through the safety barriers , and went into the sea . A total of 12,431 people died . Over 163,000 were put in evacuation shelters around the country.Fixing everything without foreign help would cost 16-25 trillion yen , which covers repairing damage to roads , homes , factories and other infrastructure. 






THIS WAS SERIOUSLY A DISASTER..!!
