  9. The earthquake was terrible but the tsunami was the most important in all the problems in Japan. Wish that all recovers and all the people again to the normal life before the earthquake and the tsunami! Bye!

    There are a lot of people died and desappeared like in Haiti.But the worst thing is the radioactivity from the nuclear plants.I think we must help them.

  12. The earthquake is really bad because it was very strong. I will be very scary if this occurs here(I hope that no).
    Is a very good luck that Japan is a country very developed, but there are many catastrophes.
