HOW BAD WAS IT , REALLY ?
The earthquake had happened offshore , which then later resulted in a tsunami . There was a Nuclear Power Plant near the shore , and when the huge wave spilled , the power plant went into meltdown . The molten nuclear fuel leaked through the safety barriers , and went into the sea . A total of 12,431 people died . Over 163,000 were put in evacuation shelters around the country . Fixing everything without foreign help would cost 16-25 trillion yen , which covers repairing damage to roads , homes , factories and other infrastructure .
| Many families were destroyed |
