I was transfixed while watching the Japan earthquake-Tsunami videos on the TV and YouTube continuously. My God!! What a devastation!!!!!
There are more bigger, important, serious things in life than loosing a watch or a handkerchief. When I heard for the first time that after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, tsunami waves swept across the northern Japan coast, I thought I could imagine what that was like. But oh God, the videos were shocking. So many heavy containers...houses...ships....cars....people....all washed away!!!
Take a look at the satellite images before and after the incident! Move the blue slider to the left/right.

Who are we to think we have so much control on nature?? Some day....we might also need the same safety and security that we have engineered into our infrastructure!!
