Ladies and gentlemen, I am not allowed to stand on a podium today in favor of an NGO or a government, but I declare that at that time, I express my admiration for the people of Japan Air.
It 'was 11th March 2011, around 05:46 UTC clock, on Friday, when Higashi Nihon Daishinsai (East Japan earthquake) occurred, with its 9.0 magnitude. It 'was a mega-thrust earthquake, submarine, 37.9 meters in length that the waves pushed up to 6 miles traveled within Japan. As a result, 12 787 personsdied, at least 125,000 facilities were damaged, more than 4 million households are without electricity and more than one million of them there is no water. Not to mention the damaged roads, dams and fires after the earthquake, and the explosions of three nuclear reactors.
Earthquake & Tsunami In Japan
For those unfamiliar with the origin of tsunami, I will give you an overview.
Tsunami, the two Japanese words "tsu" and "nami", meaning "harbor wave" came, is produced mainly by the dislocationa significant amount of water from various causes such as earthquakes, the formation of large waves to move by gravity. When an earthquake is one that is applied to the crystal deformation of the earth, which is of tectonic nature is connected, is to move the water above the deformed crust. These crusts otherwise deformed as a "suspension" is known by the rapid movement of the vertical component and the results of the tsunami in fast motion.
When I saw theI was a video of scenes of horror that I never thought I would be stunned witness to date. But in the midst of incredible buildings and the roar of the cars falling float, I saw something I never forget in my life. There was a man walking on the highway. Its speed is constant when the earthquake started, until the ship reached the city. I was captured by the constant character of the Japanese people in the midst of chaos and cruelty. The rate remained stable. Even if some people were running, IYou could also say that their operation is not busy. It was a hard, calculated move, not a product of adrenaline, but a conscious mind on account of the situation. Many have lost their loved ones, and you could see the pain in their faces as screaming their hearts. But it was a cry of despair, but the loneliness after the acceptance of the fact that these people rest in the presence of the Creator.
After a few days ago, I saw how people reactthe disaster. The houses are open, so who is hungry and homeless shelter in the house can take the one with the food that they come together to enjoy the hot soup and isolated provisions in order to satisfy their hunger. Thieves do not take things from someone's house, even if it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I have seen poor families, feasting on the soup has cooked near the coast and I could see his smile, how to breathe the scent of the broth. They have never hated the 'Tragedy at sea for the better when I heard someone to appreciate the flavor of the soup and said: "I could smell the sea in this soup," and ended his glorious dish.
At present, there are the shopping areas of slow production suffers especially the transport sector, and solved many of the foreign companies to leave the territories. The estimated cost of the damage the recent tsunami and the earthquake in Japan was estimated at $ 235 billion could be the World Bank, an amount equal to4% of GDP. This is one reason for the slow growth of gross domestic product of Japan. However, the Japanese government is reflected in his zealous efforts to rebuild the economic optimism.
No one is declared on the road, how irresponsible the government. No one cries out against the prime minister or prominent people in the region. Would have no packages of pasta imprinted with the face of the politicians themselves. All you can hear what it is, optimismand nothing more. Japan has taught the world a lesson. He represented hope in the midst of chaos, because people have seen the future beyond the rubble and the hunger they feel.
People who live in a world where earthquakes occur on the surface or in our hearts. Tragedies occur, and some are looking for ways to deal with them. But the truth is the life we have the solution. A constant heart, a positive attitude and belief, these are the rhythms that have sustained only Japanese, butWho has not learned the life of opportunity, but the attitude defined. Despite news reports on television and frequent aftershocks, I could see a country shining with pride as they grow taller and more uniform through the test of time.
To the people of Japan, I extend to you my admiration and my fervent prayer to the Lord God Almighty, through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Leave it to you under the shadow of its wings and embrace the foundation of yourFuture.
