Japan: Worst Crisis Since WWII

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan is appealing to the Japanese to unite in overcoming what he says is the nation’s worst crisis since World War II.

Kan said Sunday in a television address that the nation’s future will be decided by the choices made by each Japanese and urged all to join in their determination to rebuild the nation following a massive earthquake and tsunami.

Estimates of the death toll from the disaster rose to more than 10,000 in one state alone, as millions of survivors remained without drinking water, electricity and proper food along the pulverized northeastern coast.

"What next for Japan? Volcano Erupts"

You have to wonder if this eruption is linked to the monster 8.9 earthquake.

 

A volcano in southwestern Japan erupted Sunday after nearly two weeks of relative silence, sending ash and rocks up to four kilometres (two and a half miles) into the air, a local official says.

It was not immediately clear if the eruption was a direct result of the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake that rocked northern areas Friday, unleashing a fierce tsunami and sparking fears that more than 10,000 may have been killed.

The Japanese are tough, and they pride themselves on that. This tragedy is horrible, but they will probably come through it more united than they were before.
