why did many people fail to escape the tsunami?

when i went to clean the sludge at a house near the sea, the house owner told us why some neighbors failed to escape the tsunami. he said there was tsunami warning alarm for many times when it occurred. but tsunami alarming system was down in some area because of the failure of electric power supply. so many people around there failed to notice the alarming....

after i heard that story i thought traditional fire bell was better... but i read newspaper article, the story of one fireman, mr. fujio koshita, who risked his life to save the residents... he'd rung the bell until the bell tower was crushed by the big wave. and he is still missing until now.

it was true that he saved a lot of people, but i felt so sad to hear it... but i felt better after reading another newspaper article, a comment of high school student "the fireman was brave. i proud of him". his spirits is still alive in the next generation.

underground nuclear power plant

i was very surprised that i knew the news about underground nuke! there are politicians who wanna promote nuke construction... now, some countries decided to abandon nuke, but only victim by nuke bomb japan still planning to build a new plant...

first seminar of "underground nuclear power plant promotion parliamentary group" was held on may 31 and about 20 diet members, including former pm yoshiro mori, attended it. the chairman takeo hiranuma said 'japan established the technology to create a large cave under the ground so it 's very meaningful for safety to build the underground nuclear power plant'

this project had started to examine during pm miki, and the informal gathering was held within the LDP in 1991 but after that it had declined. in this time that gathering has expanded into the parliamentary group, and former pm yukio hatoyama(LDP) and shizuka kamei (national democratic party) have joined as the advisors, too.
