On March 11, 2011 in Japan occurred off the east coast of tectonic earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale and recently revised by the Japanese authorities to 9.0 on the Richter scale followed by a tsunami that destroyed coastal cities in eastern Japan as Miyagi, Fukusima , Iwate, Sendai.
Sea water that rises to the land went into the outposts city with a speed of 100 miles per hour. Lantakkan devastating everything in its path starting from the debris-piuing building collapse due to earthquakes, ships, vehicles, all there is left intact. Those people who could not save themselves be dragged a very large flow of water in terms of speed and strength. Tsunami is a result of the earthquake, recorded the earthquake that almost the same strength of an earthquake in Chile in 1960 and the Province of Aceh Darussalam Indonesia in 2004.
Damage and loss of property other than loss of life estimated at more than 10 thousand people not including the missing.

Tsunami warnings were sent to various countries which direct land border with the ocean fasifik such as the Philippines, Hawaii, United States and Indonesia. But for Japan's own domestic tsunami warning was not much help for tsunami warning for residents of Japan are close to the source of the quake only had about 6 seconds to save themselves.
Japan is a country that is very often affected by tectonic earthquakes because of its geographical position which is the meeting point of three tectonic plates. Of course, Japan has been studying earthquakes for hundreds of years how the ways to overcome earthquakes with various science and technology that they develop ways to overcome the earthquake. With their experiences, they create numerous test structures that are resistant to earthquakes and some even building premises as a motor vehicle use shochbreaker foundation so that buildings are earthquake-resistant goncanga to force 12 on the Richter scale.
Countries with which Japan is famous for its natural beauty, a high civilization, advanced country in the forefront of science and technology in Asia and the world were destroyed in the Tsunami lunge shows that humans are weak creatures of nature and God's presence. That humans and nature are equally God's creation. Man with high tech apaun with anything as good science remains weak in front of the great Creator Creator.
This is material for kitra renugan all recorded in history that humans are often dealing with major disasters such as floods such as narrated in the holy book the Koran and the Bible is the flood that drowned Noah and civilization. Human civilization is very easily lost and destroyed by the disaster.
