The Japan Earthquake March 11, 2011- Part 4 (6 months anniversary)

Time is running leaving us with all the good and bad memories of past times. It is the law of nature and therefore time is said to be very mighty. It has been 6 months since the great Tohoku earthquake has hit  Japan on 3/11/ 2011 causing widespread damage and casualties.More than 20,000 people lost their lives. 
Another tragedy of the event is the nuclear plant damage due to tsunami in Fukushima Nuclear plant run by TEPCO. Because of the radiation many areas have been evacuated. Though the situation has been taken under control but it is said that more than 100,000 people have not been able to  return their homes either due to the prohibitory orders and voluntary evacuation.It must have been very hard times for the affected population. In  spite of this resilience shown by them is praiseworthy.

On the very same day of the event it is the 10th anniversary of 9/11 event in New York, USA where the twins towers were hit by the suicide  aeroplane hijackers killing more than 3,000 innocent people. Designed by  architect Minoru Yamasaki, twins towers were two 110 storey with 10,000,000 square feet (930,000 m2) buildings.
