(Photos taken by EEE Reporter)History through the 3/11 Disaster
If you had been living in New York on September 10, 2001, you might have come to feel like writing a history on Truth of the 9/11 Terror.
If you had been living in New York on September 14, 2008, you might have come to feel like writing a history on Truth of the 2008 Lehman Shock.
As I have been living around Tokyo, taking so many pictures of the Capital of Japan, I feel like writing a divine history of the 3/11 Disaster of Japan.

22:30 - TEPCO sent a vehicle equipped with a power generator to Fukushima Daiichi.
March 12, 2011
00:00 - Vice Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry arrived at Fukushima Daiichi.
00:15 - PM Kan talked with US President Obama by phone.
01:20 - TEPCO reported to Gov. an abnormal pressure rise inside the 1st reactor's pressure vessel (requesting authorization of opening the valve for releasing radioactive vapor).
01:30 - Gov. agreed or ordered to open valves of a ventilation system to release vapor out of the vessel.
01:40 - PM Office delivered a memo to the media stating the "vent" starts at 27:20.
02:00 - PM Kan decided to go and inspect Fukushima Daiichi.
03:00 - Chief Cabinet Secretary Edano ordered TEPCO to delay the "vent" till Gov. announcement.
03:12 - Secretary Edano started to hold a midnight news conference, announcing the "vent" to be done soon.
04:00 - TEPCO was trying to connect the power generator through cables to the reactor units in Fukushima Daiichi.
05:44 - PM Kan ordered evacuation from a 10-km zone of Fukushima Daiichi
06:00 - TEPCO held a press conference, admitting having a trouble in connecting the provisional power source in Fukushima Daiichi.
06:08 - PM Kan accepted a standing interview by reporters at the entrance of PM Office.
06:14 - PM Kan left for Fukushima Daiichi 220 km northeast of Tokyo by helicopter from PM Office. Chairman of the Nuclear Safety Commission Madarame accompanied PM Kan.
06:50 - Gov. officially ordered TEPCO to perform the "vent"
07:11 - PM Kan arrived at Fukushima Daiichi to meet the TEPCO's vice president.
07:45 - Gov. issued the Declaration of a Nuclear Emergency Situation for Fukushima Daini (No.2) Plant.
08:04 - PM Kan left Fukushima Daiichi for inspection of tsunami-hit areas.
09:04 - TEPCO started to open one of two valves needed to be opened for the "vent."
09:11 - The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency ordered TEPCO to conduct the "vent."
10:17 - TEPCO started to open the second valve for the "vent."
10:47 - PM Kan flew back to PM Office from the aerial inspection of Miyagi Prefecture, etc; PM Kan reportedly said to his aids that the nuclear reactors in Fukushima Daiichi would not explode.
11:13 - Pressure in the 1st reactor's pressure vessel dropped.
13:00 - TEPCO started to pour water into the 1st reactor.
14:30 - The troubled second valve of the 1st reactor was finally opened.
15:29 - A radiation level monitored at the border to the Daiichi Plant indicated 1015 micro-sieverts or almost 1 milli-sieverts per hour.
15:36 - Hydrogen explosion occurred in the 1st reactor unit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXIa8nlyUd8Then, mayhem started as the world came to know it very soon.
In addition, Chairman of the Nuclear Safety Commission Mr. Haruki Madarame said, later in a Diet session, that he followed PM Mr. Kan to Fukushima Daiichi as the prime minister wanted to go there to study a nuclear power plant.
Now some people suspect that PM Mr. Kan's visit to Fukushima Daiichi in the early morning of March 12 forced TEPCO workers in the plant to postpone their actions for releasing radioactive vapor out of the first reactor unit, thus leaving the pressure reactor without water input for too long and allowing for generation of too much hydrogen which eventually led to explosion.
CHAPTER II: Energy, Systems, and Welfare
In order to promote welfare of mankind, suitable systems are needed since people live in society.
Various rules, arrangements, and agreements need to be formulated and put into practices.
Through experiences, people will come to dream of having more power for expansion in terms of quality and quantity of the systems to realize welfare. But, without physical sources of power, people cannot multiply their power. Accordingly, timber, coal, crude oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy are found, and their applications are developed.
However, nuclear energy suggests a need for changing systems in order to be applied to promotion of human welfare. But, as the extent of the required change is so big that welfare expected and obtained gets deteriorated.
If mankind abandons the nuclear energy, the story might not become so full of vicissitudes. The whole scenario of progress of mankind will be however peaceful.
But, as mankind would not abandon the nuclear energy, the story would be all the more full of vicissitudes.
It also tells that mankind does not simply obtain energy and set up systems for realization of welfare. Each member of mankind is selfishly abusing energy and systems for pursuit of his or her irresponsible desire. In that case, the whole scenario must be changed from the beginning. And the end of the scenario cannot be peaceful one.
The reason why mankind today should be regraded as living in the time for fulfillment of the Apocalypse lies in this context. And the symbolic element is nuclear energy.
The 9/11 Terror indicated that systems in this world cannot be trusted at all.
The 9/15 Lehman Shock indicated that welfare is not pursued but selfish desire by members of mankind.
The 3/11 Disaster of Japan has indicated that mankind might be fatally harmed by a type of energy they are adhered to for the use to win beefed-up power.
*** *** *** ***
http://wallstny.exblog.jp/m2011-03-01/Japan has been the second largest economy, next to the U.S., for 30 years.
(China's figure and contents of GDP are yet to be tested along with its society and politics in the open stage of history.)
Its influence on the global market, industry, and business in addition to the humanitarian field is deep, complicated, and large.
Yet, first of all, the Japanese people appreciate compassion, aid, and friendship all the people in the world have extended to Japan since March 11, 2011.
Of course, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism are, in fact, useless to prevent the occurrence of this Disaster.
Anyway, without energy, systems, and welfare of Japan based on which prior-training, education, and preparation have been conducted for a possible dangerous tsunami in the affected areas in these decades, the number of casualties of the 3/11 Disaster should have been ten times larger, that is, 300,000 almost identical with the Haiti case or the Sumatra case.
Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
