"and they shall prophesy" - Expected Disasters on Tokyo

Expected Disasters on Tokyo

For 2020 the Tokyo Olympics is slated.

But there are some serious concerns about its safety.  Tokyo can suffer a local earthquake, probably of an M8 class, which might take on more than 20,000 lives and can be covered by inches of volcanic ashes if Mt. Fuji, 100 km west of Tokyo, should erupt.  Further Nankai Trough in the Pacific Ocean can cause a huge tsunami to Pacific coast lines where Tokyo is located.  This tsunami is estimated to take on more than 200,000 lives.

In addition, two nuclear power plants, now halted after the Fukushima Daiichi accident, are expected to restart their operation in a few years.  One, the Hamaoka Plant, is 200 km southwest of Tokyo and another, the Kashiwazaki-Kariya Plant, is 200 km north of Tokyo.  As the Fukushima Daiichi Plant is situated 200 km northeast of Tokyo, any accident in those two nuclear power plants can pose a threat as dangerous as one posed by Fukushima Daiichi.

So, Tokyo should give up the Olympics so that it can concentrate on making itself more resistant to any natural or man-made disasters.

Then, Turkey might host the 2020 Olympics as the first among Islamic nations.  Even Syrian Muslims in refugee camps would be glad.
