Ghost town
March 11, 2011 the coast of Japan was setting shaking under the 9-point earthquake. This was followed by a devastating tsunami, sour cream out of the way of the city, fields and even a port in the north of the country. It was the most powerful earthquake in the country's history. In addition to the 20,000 killed another 130 thousands homeless. Eroded from the face of the earth coastal cities may never built, because there is a great likelihood of the occurrence tsunami in the future. For many, the memories of the lost - about lost loved ones, homes, home - too painful to go back, even if the city will build. Many Japanese people simply refuse to return to their hometowns.
