Today Japan was rocked with the fifth-largest Earthquake in the world, and the largest in Japan ever since records began. This quake triggered a Tsunami that could cost Japan more than $ 10 Billion of insurance, not forgetting the lives that stay under the mercy of this disaster.

A nuclear plant had a cooling system shut down, which required people around it to evacuate to safe grounds. Japan nuclear officials say that they can deal with this problem, but need to guide people to safety first.

The earthquake was measured at 8.9 and the Tsunami hit the North-east-cost with an 800 km/h speed (about 6 meters high).

According to BBC news that four trains and a ship were reported missing by the Japan Railways. Also BBC reported that the number of injuries and deaths are still increasing.

Footage of fire explosions and the tsunami sweeping buildings can be found around the net. Here is a link of such example.

This is very heavy on Japan! I just hope losses stay minimum and I hope that everybody who is there safety.

Let's all hope the Japanese best of luck and a healthy breakthrough.
