At the beginning of the new year of 2024, Japan is in a catastrophic state. The twin nightmares of the earthquake and tsunami, and the subsequent accidental collision of planes, instantly shrouded the land in a haze. However, in the midst of this disaster, Japanese citizens showed remarkable resilience and courage, and they successfully evacuated in a swift and orderly manner. Even in the face of life's big test, they still write the dignity of life with practical actions. We also have to admit that Japan has created two miracles.
The first miracle, the miracle of earthquake casualties.
On New Year's Day 2024, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula on Japan's Honshu Island, posing a huge challenge for the people of Japan in the New Year. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami of up to 8 meters, which caused massive damage to homes and facilities. However, in the face of this sudden crisis, the Japanese people have responded with extraordinary calm.

According to reports, some people had already started preparations before the earthquake, storing important materials, furniture and other items at high places to avoid losses as much as possible. In the aftermath of the earthquake, Japan's Self-Defense Forces, police, and other departments quickly launched rescue operations, sacrificing their rest time to go to the affected areas. According to statistics, so far, the earthquake has only caused more than 50 deaths, which is more significant than other similar disasters.

The second miracle, the miracle of the evacuation of the planes.
Just one day later, on January 2, 2024, the two planes collided at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, and the fire quickly spread to the fuselage, but fortunately, the pilots were calm and quickly evacuated 379 passengers and crew. According to eyewitnesses, all personnel were able to safely evacuate the center of the storm in less than 10 minutes with everything in order. In the process, only a few suffered minor abrasions, and no one died.

In the face of disasters, perhaps we should learn from them and think deeply about how to improve the country's emergency response mechanism to make it more scientific and efficient, so as to better protect the safety of the people.
