As I sat in front of my TV and watched the umpteenth images and reports from Japan, I thought of my country. I could not imagine what would happen if this would have really happened here in Malaysia.
Below is a collection of the most compelling images of the aftermath of one of Japan's largest recorded earthquakes from The Globe and Mail.
#1 Residents walk through the rubles of residents collapsed by a powerful earthquake in Iwaki, Fukushima prefecture, Japan.
#2 A massive tsunami sweeps in to engulf a residential area after a powerful earthquake in Natori.
#3 People at a book store react as the store's ceiling falls in Sendai, northern Japan.
#4 Sendai Airport is swept by a tsunami after an earthquake, in northeastern Japan.
#5 A massive tsunami hits the coastal areas of Iwanuma, Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan.
#6 Buildings burn after an earthquake near Sendai Airport, northeastern Japan.
#7 Houses swept by a tsunami smoulder near Sendai Airport in Japan.
#8 Cars and airplanes swept by a tsunami are pictured among debris at Sendai Airport, northeastern Japan.
#9 A road is blocked by a landslide near Iwaki City in northeastern Japan.
#10 Houses are swept by water following a tsunami and earthquake in Natori City.
#11 Natural gas storage tanks burn at a facility in Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo.
#12 An office building burns in Tokyo after an earthquake.
#13 A truck remains stranded on a road damaged by a powerful earthquake in Iwaki city, Fukushima prefecture (state), Japan.
#14 Vehicles are crushed by a collapsed wall at a carpark in Mito city in Ibaraki prefecture on March 11, 2011 after a massive earthquake rocked Japan.
When I see things like that, I get a very different perspective on life; I see how short life can be.
So what could we learn from the rubble of this great disaster? We must respect nature and its power over us!
I hope that everyone is praying for the ones left alive...
