Japan!!! A continuous victim of Earthquakes

Yesterday Japan faced an earthquake of magnitude 8.9 which struck 400 km north east of Tokyo. it is considered the deadliest earthquake of 20th century. It struck at 1446 local time (0546 GMT) at a depth of about 24km.  A tsunami was triggered by this earthquake which carried water 10 km inland, which had buildings , cars and boats with it. this earthquake according to Al-Jazeera TV will affect 53 countries along pacific. A large toll of casualties is expected in japan' s north-east part. The most alarming thing is that a nuclear reactor in japan has got severely damaged by this earth quake. according to officials, pressure inside a boiling water reactor at the plant was running much higher than normal after the cooling system failed. Officials said they might need to deliberately release some radioactive steam to relieve pressure, but that there would be no health risk. Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate and the tsunami has hit the northern part the most. Along with japan several other countries have been effected but japan is a top of the list. May God have Mercy on the Japanese people. Amin!!!!
