A replica of the Statue of Liberty that was damaged by the March 11 tsunami stands in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, on Friday. Although the most of buildings in the neighborhood were destroyed by the tsunami, the 9-meter-tall statue, built in 2010 as a tourist attraction, has survived and kept standing.

Japan falls silent for tsunami victims

Mar. 11, 2012 - 06:00PM JST ( 37 )

People stop for a moment of silence at 2:46 p.m. to mark the anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami which devastated northeastern Japan, at the Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, on Sunday. AP

TOKYO —

Japan fell silent on Sunday to honor the 19,000 people killed a year ago when a huge earthquake sent a tsunami barreling into the coast, sparking a nuclear crisis at Fukushima.

Tearful families gathered in the still shell-shocked towns and villages across the country’s northeast to remember those lost when the towering tsunami smashed ashore.

At 2.46 p.m., much of the nation paused to mark the moment nature’s fury was visited on Japan, when the 9.0-magnitude quake set off a catastrophic chain of events.

At a national ceremony of remembrance at the National Theater in Tokyo, Japan’s mournful national anthem rang out before the prime minister and the emperor led silent prayers for those who lost their lives in the country’s worst post-war disaster.
The emperor and Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda were joined by around 1,200 people at the national theatre in Tokyo.
A single pillar symbolizing the souls of those who died stood in the middle of the stage, decorated with white chrysanthemums and lilies.

The emperor, who three weeks ago underwent heart bypass surgery, said Japan would “never forget” the tragedy and spoke of the importance of “kizuna,” or human bonds, in the wake of the disaster.
“Many difficulties lie ahead in the reconstruction of the disaster-affected areas,” he said. “I hope that each and every member of the public will join their hearts with the people affected by the disasters, and continue to help them to improve their lives.”
Noda pledged Japan would recover from its tragedy.

“Our forebears, who led our country to prosperity, stood up with brave resolution in times of crisis,” he said.
“While offering our support for the daily struggles of those people in the disaster-affected regions, we will join hands as we seek to fulfill our historic mission of “the rebirth of Japan through reconstruction.”
Small rural towns along the coast that were turned to matchwood when the tsunami rolled in, wrecking whole neighborhoods and wiping out communities, held their own emotional ceremonies.

In Ishinomaki, home to fully a fifth of those who died in the disaster, tsunami warning sirens wailed to mark the moment the quake hit, sending a wall of water into the city where it claimed the lives of nearly 4,000 people.
Residents, who held small community ceremonies all over the wrecked city, had been warned on Saturday that the sirens would be raised.

In the badly-hit Watanoha district, around 80 tearful people gathered including Hitomi Oikawa, 37, who lost her father in the disaster.
“It’s been a year since my father died. I am going to pray that I can get over my grief and that my children can feel better,” she told AFP.
In Okuma, home to the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, displaced residents arrived by bus to pay their respects to lost loved ones.

Television footage showed sobbing relatives wrapped up against the radiation in protective suits, gloves and shoe covers, holding a ceremony for those who perished in the town.

An elderly woman, whose grandchild is still listed as missing, wept as she laid flowers at a makeshift alter.
“I want my grandchild to be found,” she told reporters.

In the nearby city of Koriyama, monks banged drums and offered prayers ahead of an anti-nuclear protest rally, where numbers overwhelmed the seating available at a baseball stadium.

Organizers opened up parts of the stadium that have not yet been cleansed of radioactive fallout, asking participants with small children not to use the area, an AFP journalist said.

“We demand all children are evacuated from Fukushima now,” said organizer Setsuko Kuroda.
“Some experts say one third of children in Fukushima were affected by radiation,” she said. “Leaving the situation like this is like they are committing a murder every day.”

Among those demonstrating were some of the nuclear refugees forced to flee their homes in the shadow of Fukushima Daiichi as it began venting toxic radiation over homes and farmland.

The government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) announced in December “a state of cold shutdown” for three runaway reactors that went into meltdown when their cooling systems were swamped by the tsunami.
But with radiation having leaked from the crippled plant for months, many parts of a 20-kilometer exclusion zone around it are likely to remain uninhabitable for years—perhaps decades—to come, scientists warn.

Noda urges all of Japan to help with disposal of tsunami debris

TOKYO —

The whole of Japan must redouble efforts to help rid tsunami-hit communities of the millions of tons of waste generated by last year’s disaster, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said Sunday.

As the country marked the first anniversary of the tragedy that claimed more than 19,000 lives, Noda urged areas outside of the disaster zone to pitch in to help dispose of the rubble.

“Today is a day of mourning as well as a day to renew our resolve to rebuild,” he told a press conference just hours after the country observed a minute’s silence at the exact moment the tsunami-causing quake struck last year.
“I urge the entire public to recognize that we are all directly involved in reconstruction.”

The monster tsunami crushed whole communities along Japan’s northeast coast, leaving behind 22.5 million tons of debris, including splintered houses and wrecked cars, most of which remains piled up in the region.

Only a handful of municipalities outside the disaster zone have offered to help process the debris, amid stiff public opposition from residents who fear it could be contaminated by radiation.

The tsunami knocked out cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, sending reactors into meltdown and shooting toxic isotopes into the atmosphere.

The government insists debris in Iwate and Miyagi, north of Fukushima, is virtually radiation free and does not pose a risk to human health when incinerated or processed.

“The world lavished praise on the spirit of the Japanese for helping one another in the aftermath of the disaster,” Noda said. “That Japanese psyche is being tested again. The processing of debris is a symbol of that.”

Tokyo has offered to largely offset any costs local governments incur in accepting the waste.
Noda said he will be asking private companies, such as cement and paper producers, to help out with the task.

Tsunami wreckage becomes tourist draw
Visitors flock to scenes of devastation as reminder of worst of times
16 August, 2011



The 4,724-ton freighter Asia Symphony was driven ashore in Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture, by the tsunami.

As summer holidays go, not many Tokyoites likely had a trip to Japan’s northeast to see the aftermath of the March tsunami high on their to-do lists.

Yet it seems many are visiting the region for a powerful reminder of what happened in springtime.

Tourism chiefs say the current obon vacation period in Japan has prompted residents of Kanto and elsewhere outside the tsunami zone to travel to places such as Kamaishi in Iwate Prefecture.

Ordinarily, obon is a time to visit homelands and pay respect to ancestors. Instead, people such as Seiko Obara from Tokyo are making the journey to see what happened for themselves.

“I wanted to let my kid know the danger of tsunami,” said Obara of his nine-year-old son, Taichi.

“I think reconstruction will continue until the time of our children's generation. So I want him to remember by actually seeing it with his own eyes.”

Future generations

Families like the Obaras chose to visit Kamaishi to see the 100-meter-long Asia Symphony, a container vessel lifted onto the land by the force of the water on March 11, and still grounded five months on.

Others opted for Rikuzentakata, also in Iwate, where they found a sole standing pine tree, a 200-year-old survivor of a forest that previously contained 70,000 trees.

The tree, now a rallying symbol for survivors, drew one schoolteacher from Hokkaido who wanted it to be a lesson to his pupils.
“I will teach students the danger of tsunami, as the school I work for is close to the sea,” he said. “I also want to tell them that the disaster areas are standing up against the hardship, just like the pine tree that withstood the tsunami.”

Fukushima Daiichi (TEPCO) after 1 year....

sevenoctober

semalam gi jalan-jalan kat odaiba ada small ceremony memperingati 11 march..
tepat jam 2.46ptg, semua orang senyap.
malam sket pastu ada fireworks show kejap, n pastu ada dorang lepaskan tanglung yg terapung atas air tu.. ada jugak hot balloon..
Me tak tunggu lama sebab sejuk (bajet dah masuk spring so pakai baju nipis2 je jenjalan)

sedih membayangkan keperitan org2 yg masih percaya dan menunggu relative dorg yg hilang masa tsunami dulu..
untuk yang berada kat Japan, mari membuat persiapan menghadapi bencana2 alam yg akan datang, bekalan di dunia mahupun di akhirat. Semoga Allah melindungi kita...
