\"\"<\/a>The tsunami that devastated Japan in March 2011, and which was followed by a tragic nuclear power accident at Fukushima, was the second biggest tragedy the country ever faced. The biggest was Hiroshima<\/a>. Last year, 19,000 people died. In Hiroshima the death toll was 80,000 people on the day of the bombing.
\n<\/p>\n

The nuclear accident at Fukushima was the worst nuclear emergency since Chernobyl<\/a> and prompted Germany <\/a>to phase out its nuclear power stations.<\/p>\n

But besides the energy issue, what happened to people in Japan and how are they coping in this post-tsunami scenario when hundreds of thousands people became homeless?<\/p>\n

OnlineSchools.org<\/a> has produced an amazing video<\/a> to remember the first anniversary of the Tsunami in Japan, a mixture of animation and real footage. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a beautiful piece that reminds us of the force of nature, human resilience, the dangers associated with nuclear power and the need to switch to alternative energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
