Few days ago, Japan was stroked by a massive earthquake and tsunami. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck at 14.46 local time Friday under the Pacific Ocean about 250 miles from Tokyo at a depth of 15 miles has killed almost 1300 victims.
Almost all including boats, lorries, and buildings being carried miles inland.
The most worrying part is that 10,000 people are missing in the port town of Minamisanriku.
The devastating tsunami that hits Japan has become even more serious due to the explosion of nuclear power plant.
The explosion happens due to failure of cooling system of the power plant caused by the tsunami.
Japan's nuclear safety agency said 6 workers were injured but it is not clear whether they are exposed to radiation or not .
More than 180,000 people have evacuated the area in recent days, and up to 160 may have been exposed to radiation.
