After the earthquake hit on March 11th, 2011

In this earthquake, a lot of problems were boiled up in Japan.

Were geology, geochemistry, physics, and mathematics really applied for the analysis of the earthquake? The result of the diffusion simulation of pollution was published in a few days from the earthquake in foreign countries. Recently, it was pointed out that the result of the prediction was intentionally hidden in Japan.
The politicians who don't know the sciences try to overcome the national crisis by their technique, or political technique. Observation data was hidden, and a political explanation were often used by them. The opposition party is concentrating on hurling diatribes toward the government party, isn't concentrating on helping the victims.
These responses of the government were enough to decrease my interest for the future of nuclear power plant. However, engineers have to examine various natural phenomena generated this time.

The other day, the briefing session on the earthquake was held by our company. Major topics were on the damages of the civil structures. It was started with the evaluation of the seismic characteristics. Then, the dameges of the sewerage, waterworks, bridge, road, harbor, landslide, and liquefuction were reported subsequently.The damage that will occur in the future should be decreased by improving our technology.

The politicians have the responsibility to save the victims after the crisis, and we, as engineers, have to show the technology for the nation before it occurs.
