Real TALK, HELP JAPAN!!

Within the last 72 hours, Japan has undergone three substantial attacks: an earthquake, a tsunami, and three nuclear explosions.

The disasters began on March 11, 2011(JST), with a massive 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean near Northeastern Japan around 2:46 pm. The substantial quake triggered the tsunami and later led to explosions of nuclear plants. Because of this disaster, half a million Japanese families were forced out of their homes.
