It just feels so unbelievable that one wave can sweep half of the city in Sendai, Japan. I was watching the live footage on CNN when the tsunami hit Sendai, cars on the highway was driving at full speed trying to escape from the tsunami, but they couldn't win against mother nature, they were swallowed by the waves...just like that.
The waves swept all the cars and buildings in its way, just 2 days before the tsunami hit Sendai, History channel aired the Tsunami documentary that hit Indonesia & Phi Phi Island in 2004, seeing those compiled video footage by the tourist gave me chills...it was just too emotional to watch the whole documentary. I still remembered when my high school was asking for donations from the students, I gave all my allowance in my wallet to the victims without any hesitation.
My heart goes out to the people in Japan, the land that gave me a wonderful childhood with Ultraman, Super Sentai (Power Rangers), Sailormoon, Pokemon, & Digimon and etc. I hope they recover soon. I wish we could help more than just giving money donations, let's hope the victims can rebuild their lives again, but I wonder how when the city is so badly damaged. It feels so devastating just thinking about it.
