After MS2

Even it was closing to my MS2 exam date, I could not keep my eyes off the TV. Imagines are heart stricken.

The 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck Japan on March 11 in the afternoon without giving much time for people to escape. Thousands and thousands of people were gone missing. As days pass, the number of death still keeps rolling up. Lots of areas where was attacked by the Tsunami still was not getting help from the government from the ground, because roads are still covers with mud, destroyed houses, damaged cars... Government only could access by air. It makes the rescue very hard and slow.

TV and youtube footage showing the Tsunami casing from the earthquake wiped out everything that was in its way. Lives, roads, buildings, airport... Everything is soaking in the black color muddy water. People who were managed to escape to the higher land were watching their homes being destroyed by the water hopelessly. They could not do anything against the nature except sobbing.

NHK World News Line was non-stop reporting on this since the day one. If you listen closely, you might notice that the translator's voice was shaking as she gives instant/real time translation. From her voice, I can tell she is fairly young at her age. I could not imagine the grieve emotion pounding in her heart as she maintain a professional image on air.
