2011: An earthquake with the magnitude of 9.0 appears under water not far from the coast of Japan.
First the quake itself devastates the area, but more importantly it triggers a tsunami wave which adds on top of this.
A nearby nuclear power plant in Fukushima was affected heavily by both and, due to human arrogance and greed that made it be constructed suitable to economical needs, but not apropriate to the needs of a facility that stands on a cliff coast of a volcanic island, a meltdown appeared during the following days.
400.000 people in estimated numbers had to leave their homes and be evacuated in the zone set by the state around the power plant.
The state of Japan, being located where it is, hung on a thing thread depending on the outcome of the acute actions made to meet this disaster.

Still until this very day, the consequences out of this event keep the authorities busy.

It was terrifying picturesque to see the waves coming in what I couldn't say though about the nuclear fuss after...
I hear time to time some crazy ideas that it was a nuclear bomb exploded at the ocean bottom though the many after shakes people had witnessed had proved it is a bullshit.

What is interesting they never mention it and I am sure there are some effects that still are the consequences like the fish in the ocean that accumulates radioactive particles. Besides they were saying themselves that it takes 100 years for some of the particles to complete the cycle of half-life whoever it is properly called with radioactive elements when they decay.
