[자막뉴스] Japan barely avoided tsunami, the remaining week is dangerous

The Great East Japan Earthquake 10 years ago when the scale reached 9.0.

The earthquake itself was also powerful, but at the time the epicenter was 24 km below the sea, much shallower than this earthquake.

Because of this, the impact on the sea level led to a tsunami of up to 40 meters, injuring over 20,000 people.

After this earthquake of magnitude 7.3, the tsunami that appeared in some areas, including Miyagi Prefecture, was up to 20 cm.

The Japanese government’s Earthquake Investigation Committee diagnosed this case as having barely escaped from the tsunami.

Experts viewed this earthquake as the aftershock of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

As in the case of the 2004 Great Sumatra Earthquake, it warned that there is a possibility of an aftershock in the offshore of Fukushima over the long term.

[히라타 나오시 / 일본 정부 지진조사위원회 위원장 : 여진 발생 수는 경과 기간에 반비례해 줄어듭니다. 최소한 앞으로 10년은 (이 지역에) 지금과 같은 상황이 이어질 것으로 봅니다.]

After this earthquake, there have already been 50 large and small aftershocks.

In particular, the Japanese government called for caution, saying that an aftershock of a magnitude similar to this one could occur again within the next week.

Fear of not knowing when and how the earthquake will strike.

Living with a nightmare from 10 years ago, the locals are quietly fixing their homes and relying on each other to relieve anxiety.
