March 11, 2011 (Lunar Calendar February 7, 2011), into the dark places of Japan: Fukushima exclusion zone. Strong earthquake and tsunami hit Japan hard, triggering a nuclear leak crisis. March 11, 2011 at 13:46, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale hit the waters of northeastern Japan today and triggered a tsunami. In the coastal area not far from the epicenter, huge waves swept away cars and destroyed houses. The earthquake occurred at 2:46 pm local time, followed by multiple aftershocks. Japan, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan Earthquake triggers tsunami, a large vortex appears on the sea Aerial tsunami rushed into the coastal area of Iwanuma City, Japan After the earthquake and tsunami, many cities along the coast of Japan were in a mess, and large tracts of land were poured back into the sea. A large number of houses were set on fire in areas flooded by the tsunami. Sendai, Japan, planes and cars at the airport were washed together by the tsunami caused by the earthquake. Japan, Keikimuma: People watch the scene after the tsunami on the rooftop. Fuel from the reactor core of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant began to melt and radioactive material leaked on March 12. On March 15, a small town in Iwate Prefecture, Japan was reduced to rubble, and people searched the area for trapped people and items that could be used. As of 8:00 local time on March 15, 2011, the Japanese National Police Agency said that as of 8:00 local time, the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan on the 11th had killed 2,414 people and left 3,118 missing. Dark Place: Into Japan's Fukushima Exclusion Zone Photographer Pierpaolo Mittica took a group of photos with the theme "Fukushima Exclusion Zone", showing the scene after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear leak in Fukushima, Japan. On March 11, 2011, a severe earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. On the same day, the building where the No. 1 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant exploded. A few days later, the fuel in the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 reactors of the nuclear power plant "melted", and a large amount of radionuclides were released into the atmosphere and ocean. The Japanese government has designated 20 kilometers around the nuclear power plant as an evacuation area, and since April 12, 2011, it has been stipulated that no one, especially journalists and photographers, can enter the "restricted area". Photographer Pierpaolo Mittica took this set of black-and-white photos before the ban was issued. The photos show traces of people fleeing in panic, animals and plants dying from radiation, and scenes of workers cleaning up the scene. On August 20, 2013, it was reported that there was another radiation leakage accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, where the nuclear accident occurred two years ago. The relevant personnel found a pool around the reactor water storage tank that day, and it is estimated that about 300 tons of highly contaminated water may have entered the ocean. On August 28, 2013, the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission, Japan's regulatory body responsible for nuclear safety, officially decided to classify the high-concentration nuclear sewage leakage incident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant as a level 3, or "serious incident". The Japanese government is to blame for the poor aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident. In order to avoid the bankruptcy of Tepco, the Japanese government has taken de facto nationalization of Tepco, but has not taken up its due national responsibilities in the handling of the nuclear accident. Instead, it has allowed the credit-bankrupt Tepco to continue to turn the Fukushima nuclear power plant into an "information black hole". People who are packing up to escape.
