11 march 2011 ... a sad day for Japan

 It was one year ago that a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and a 130-foot tsunami ravaged Japan's eastern coasts, killing as many as 20,000 people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. Those natural disasters were then quickly followed by an unnatural one, when damage to the Fukushima Daiichi power plant sparked the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.
I know this post is of-topic for this blog, but I want to pay my respect to the Japanese for their resilience and perseverance. A friend of mine had family and friends involved in the disaster. I wish them strenght and courage on this day.
