Industrial Disaster

Banning,California.March 16,2011.

Since the start of industrialization just after World War II in the
early 1950's and mid 1960's,countries around the world kept dreaming
and continued to research on how to make an alternative sources of
energy that will outgrow the need to buy expensive crude oil from
the Middle Eastern countries that practically dictate prices thereof.

One among them is Japan.Through the years they developed a
sustainable energy device by designing and maintaining nuclear
reactor plants that boasted their supremacy in manufacturing
automobiles and enjoyed a stable and continued supply of
electricity and water.

Thus,earning them the symbol of power in the whole of Asia
and the rest of the industrialized world.Without noticing the
future impact of natural calamities such as an 8.9 magnitude
earthquake can cause trouble to the physical structures of the
reactors and the whole system of the nuclear plant itself.
Much more when a Ten meter tsunami comes along as what had
happened last Friday March 11,2011.

Twenty years,Forty years maybe too long a time to ignore
a possible risk of malfunction or simply to dispose off of
used rods and it's storage to see to it that it will not cause
harm to humans.

Eventually today as the whole world is watching and praying
for quicker resolution of a possible meltdown in Japan,the
rest of the humanity are risking patience,anxiety and fear
for their lives and that of their love ones who might get
exposed to harmful radiation.

Maybe now is a right time for other countries to contemplate
on reviewing and maybe set aside or reversing their desires
for developing harmful nuclear reactor plants to lessen the
burden of ordinary human beings who wanted just to live a
peaceful and healthy lifestyle.

This tragedy could be a lesson to all that ultimate desire
of earning too much money is useless when the price of doing it
is risking human lives. Where its citizens can no longer afford
to drink a clean glass of water and eat safe uncontaminated food.

To our well loved friends in Japan,I would like to extend my
deepest sympathy and condolences.
