Japan Earthquake


A top of Tokyo Tower has no light right now, because it was broken by the quake.
I shot the above pic on my way back home on foot.
Actually I was so lucky that my place is relatively nearby my office
located around Tokyo station.

When I got under my desk in the office,
I could see the next building was heavily swinging (not shaking) by the hard-hit.
It's terrible.
Also I could see a fire with the smoke at the building in the bay area
from the window of our building.  

My office located on higher floor of one of the tower building in central Tokyo,
which has the luxury hotel from 28th floor above.
When I was taking off from the office, the elevator was not in service.
During I went down by emergency steps  to the 1st floor,
I bumped into with a bunch of hotel staff and guests whom are most foreigners.
We greeted each other with an encouragement when we passed by.
Unfortunately they've experienced such a terrible quake in Tokyo
on their business or pleasure. 
 
A visitor from our Australia office was supposed to leave for own country today,
however, he was held up in Tokyo due to Narita Airport closed.
Hotel staff served hot beverages for everyone on the 1st floor in our building.

The roads was stuck in traffic, there had long lines at all bus stops and taxi stands.
Huge people walked on all the streets to go home. 
Police officers controlled traffic with whiles at the traffic lights.

There are some little earthquakes while I am writing this article.
Approx. 200 - 300 tsunami-driven bodies were found on the streets in Sendai-city.
Sendai Airport, the fields around there terribly destroyed by tsunami waves.

I don't believe that it has happened in my loved Japan.
It's eye-watering...

It was the Fifth huge Earthquake in the world.

If you can donate money or others to Japan, we much appreciate it!
