I was just looking at a lot of images of the devastation in Japan. It looks as if the entire part of the country was just destroyed. Ships like the one in this photo were just tossed across a road like a toy on the sidewalk (which this picture looks like at first).
I think that this incident makes the fragility of our civilization very tangible. All it took was a 3 foot fall of part of the sea floor to cause the wave, which then wiped out a huge area with no warning. How horrible to get swept away that way. For me, it puts into perspective how tragic and ludicrous that we also have to deal with wars that and other manmade horrors.
I wonder if this event will lead to a whole new product category for surviving tsunamis. Sorry if this subject is sad, but I think it must be confronted.
