At the beginning of the new year in 2024, when we are still celebrating and happy for the arrival of the new year, full of beautiful hopes for the future, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is now probably already worried, because in just two or three days after the arrival of the New Year, Fumio Kishida has received three major bad news one after another.
The first piece of bad news is that the earthquake in Japan may be just the beginning, and more serious disasters may be yet to come.
As we all know, the "Noto Peninsula Earthquake" with a magnitude of 7.6 on the Richter scale has recently occurred in Japan, causing very serious damage and damage, and according to relevant information, the earthquake has caused 62 deaths in the local area. According to Japanese earthquake expert Junichi Nakajima, the earthquake in Japan may be caused by the continuous rise of groundwater into geological faults, causing it to become slippery. There is a possibility of a relatively large earthquake in the future, and the Japanese people need to continue to be vigilant for now.
Japanese media and Japanese earthquake archaeologist Takeshi Kankawa also believe that the seismic activity is still at a high level, and the epicenter is "extremely shallow", so it is likely that aftershocks will occur frequently in the future, and it is necessary to be vigilant against building collapses and other disasters. In the longer term, the earthquake also led to a serious consequence, that is, a fault of up to 26 meters 7,600 meters below the surface of Japan, and the entire crust of Japan moved 120 meters to the Mariana Trench to the east, which is undoubtedly very dangerous, and if a serious natural disaster such as a tsunami occurs in the future, it is really worrying that the whole of Japan will be involved in this bottomless trench.
The second piece of bad news is that Japan's severe earthquake may trigger the eruption of Mt. Fuji, an already active active volcano, and Japan may suffer even more unbearable losses and heavy casualties.
The Pacific Rim Seismic Zone in Japan has always been very active, and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are local crustal plate movements, so there is a possibility that volcanic eruptions may be triggered by earthquakes. And as we all know, in fact, earlier, the overall activity of Japan has increased significantly, the internal pressure has reached 1.6 megapascals, in fact, the eruption conditions have been met, the entire Mount Fuji, has been in the awakening stage, even the Japanese government has publicly admitted last year, Mount Fuji has entered a state of eruption, may erupt at any time, after the earthquake, the possibility of Mount Fuji eruption will obviously further increase.
Therefore, the Japanese side must be vigilant against the possibility of an eruption of Mt. Fuji due to the earthquake, and if the relevant measures and preparations are not taken in advance, the consequences may be very serious. You know, once Mount Fuji really erupts, it may produce more than 10 billion cubic meters of volcanic ash and magma, covering a large area of the entire Kanto region of Japan, and the volcanic ash will also block roads, resulting in traffic disruptions, more than half of the 44.33 million people in the Japanese capital area will fall into a crisis of not being able to obtain supplies, 110,000 Japanese people need shelter, more than 30 million people will face power outages, water pollution, communication interruptions, and many people may face respiratory hazards and even the danger of pneumonia.
This series of serious consequences, the loss will obviously be far from being comparable to this earthquake, so for Fumio Kishida and others, it is also very important and urgent to prepare for the crisis of the eruption of Mount Fuji in advance.
The third piece of bad news is that a very serious plane collision accident occurred at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan, a Japanese Airlines Airbus A350 passenger plane collided with the plane of the Japan Coast Guard when it landed, and the result was not only a serious fire, the plane was directly burned into wreckage, and the plane of the Japan Coast Guard carrying six people in the accident was also directly killed, and the captain was seriously injured.
Obviously, there must be a "man-made" factor behind the cause of this serious accident, which may be the pilot's personal reasons, or there may be problems with the airport's rules and regulations and command.
But it is clear that this incident has not only caused great direct damage, but also caused a heavy blow and trust loss to the Japanese aviation industry, and the indirect losses caused by this will also be astronomical.
All in all, this series of bad news has come one after another, which must have caused Fumio Kishida a headache and caught off guard, but I still hope that the Japanese side can unite as one, work together to tide over the difficulties, overcome these natural and man-made disasters as soon as possible, minimize the losses, and quickly return to normal production and life.
