Damage From Tsunami
The tsunami was the biggest Japan had ever had in hisory. [1] It went all the way to an oil refinery and destroyed it. The tsunami was so strong it even moved buildings onto the road and highways. The tsunami hit a nuclear power plant and caused radiation all over Japan. Even though it was the most powerful in Japan, it didn't make the of the worst tsunamis in history.[1] This is a picture of the tsunami coming in towords a small town moving houses and vehicles. [2]

How Other Countries are Trying to Help
You would think that Japan would be begging for help from other countries, but their not. [3] Us as a country want to help but they don't want us to. [3] I heard that it was impolite to them to ask for help. [3] They feel its every man for themselves, or in this case every country for themselves. [3] Other countries are trying to help like the U.S., but we have conflict with Libya and are trying the best we can. [3] Yet parts of Japan still want help, food, and fresh water to drink. media type="custom" key="9139238" =Refrences= 1. [|Brunner, Borgna, and beth Rowen.
