Sometimes we don't know what our futures are. We do not have the abilities to control our futures. That was exactly what happened in this day. The most frightening day in my life. The Mega earthquake with magnitude 9.0 stroke Japan, shaking half of Japan's region. It was around 2.30pm... everything was normal... but suddenly, everything started to shake, we thought it was just a normal quake, but the longer it went, the stronger it became. We have 2 choices, either continued to stay under the table, or immediately run out of the building. Finally we made the 2nd choice. The staircases were shaking like hell. I was very afraid that something might happen. My mind was thinking about earthquake, collapse & dying.... after around 1 minute (that is very long!!) the strongest earthquake i have ever experienced ceased. Everybody was so afraid. It might happen again. I went out from the building, on the street, lot's of people. People are scared, cars are stopped. Everybody was thinking what the hell was going on. This day was not 2012, it was not the end of the world, but why on earth that such a strong quake happened!
We couldn't change the reality, it had happened. strong aftershocks followed immediately. We not dare went back into the building. i unlocked my iphone, check the earthquake info in Weathernews. Oh my God, roughly magnitude of 7 was felt in some parts of Japan. And the scariest thing was the epicenter of the quake : 9.0!! I thought everything was over. The quake was over and i'm still alive. i thought people in japan were like me, still alive. But i was wrong. We went to the canteen of the company, immediately switched on the TV, every channel was broadcasting live the info about earthquake. And shockingly, This was not only an earthquake, Tsunami was coming too!! when i saw the news "more then 10 meters high tsunami was coming!" i thought something was wrong with the tv broadcaster or data collected. I confirmed again & again on the TV screen, no! it was correct! in about 10 mins, Tsunami would arrive at Japan's east coast. I still thought the issue has been overblown by the broadcasters. After 10 mins, when i was watching LIVE a peacefully town destroyed by Tsunami in a matter of minutes! OMG!! what had happened?! it was not the end of the world! just a strong earthquake, what had happened?!!! it was too late for a lot people to run... it was a disaster, it was a very very sad day for japan, for the world. The frightening earthquake, the merciless tsunami! Everything was gone for tens of thousands of people. I'm still alive, but the heart was breaking... i've never seen such things in my life. i've never felt them before.... This was terrifying... I'll never forget this day in my life... It was a day of tragedy for the world.... May the victims rest in peace.
