Japan 2011 – World War Two revisited
Read Time:36 Second
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, in a speech yesterday said Japan is experiencing its greatest hardships since World War II as it tackles the aftermath of an earthquake, tsunami and a growing nuclear crisis.
Mr Kan warned of sweeping power cuts to come. The situation at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant remained grave, a day after an explosion at a reactor. Meanwhile, police have warned that the death toll in tsunami-hit Miyagi prefecture alone could exceed 10,000.
Millions of survivors remain without electricity and authorities are stepping up relief efforts as the scale of the tragedy becomes clearer. About 310,000 people have been evacuated to emergency shelters, many of them without power, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.

The Japanese have been through a lot over the centuries and I agree with Mike that they will bounce back.
I would say that the Japanese economy will soon be in tatters. If they fix the problems, they are still in an earthquake zone.
I doubt that Japan will crash Harry. Japan has proven itself a powerful and forward thinking economy. While this disaster has hurt them I think they will get right up and dust themselves off.
