In the ninth episode of 5 Minute Disasters, we examine the 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami, one of the most destructive natural disasters in recent history. In just five minutes, we'll take you through the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck off Japan's coast, unleashing a massive tsunami that devastated coastal towns and claimed nearly 16,000 lives. The disaster also triggered a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant, leading to large-scale evacuations and long-term environmental challenges. Join us as we explore the impacts of this catastrophic event, from immediate destruction to the lasting effects on Japan and the global community.
