In the previous post, I forgot to mention about the explosion of a nuclear plant at Fukushima. The radiation from the exploded plant is affecting the surrounding area. The Japan govt increased the radius where people needed to evacuate, from 10km to 20km the day before yesterday. Yet, again yesterday, another nuclear plant exploded in the morning. People were asked to evacuate, while some stubborn residents stayed in there home (maybe they're just worried, not 'stubborn'). What was the reason? Experts said that the radiation wasn't too serious, but the govt wanted residents to evacuate just in case.
Aftershocks, mostly over M6+, were recorded numerous times ( I forgot to mention this too :D). As rescue teams plunged to help rescuers, most of what they found were just cold corpses. Again, another tsunami also affected Fukushima yesterday, with a height of 3m.
However, some Chinese (China citizens) have been celebrating the disaster that happened in Japan. Why were they celebrating? It all started because of World War II. Since the war, some Chinese have hated Japan just because of... the war. (and I really mean some)
Now,the Japan govt is planning to cut the electricity use in the country for 3 to 5 hours, starting from 6a.m. to 10p.m. in the different parts. This was done as the nuclear plants were closed due to the earthquake and safety.
Japan had its morning peak hours back yesterday morning in Tokyo, but however, the lifts and escalators were closed to save electricity. As there were lesser trains for more electricity to be saved, the trains were more crowded, but the Japanese just continued with it.
Note: I might have some errors in the information, so accept my apologies if there are any errors.
