Jordskælv og Tsunami-Alarmer ryster Japan: Hvad skete der?

Et voldsomt jordskælv ramte Japan og udløste tsunami-advarsler - få alle detaljerne her!

En række kraftige jordskælv har ramt Japan, udløst af jordskælv med en magnitud på op til 7,6. Tsunami-advarsler blev udstedt, og beboere blev bedt om at evakuere områder langs kysten. Redningshold kæmper for at redde indesluttet personer og vurderer situationens omfang. Samtidig har et Japan Airlines fly været involveret i en brand på landingsbanen ved Tokyo's Haneda-lufthavn, hvor passagerer og besætning heldigvis blev evakueret uden skader.

Eftervirkningerne af jordskælvene har resulteret i mindst 48 dødsfald, og redningsarbejdet fortsætter med at redde overlevende. Japans kollektive traume fornyedes med maandagens jordskælv, men historien viser også landets ingeniørmæssige succes.

Japan står over for en situation, hvor der er en 'kamp mod tiden' for at redde overlevende fra jordskælvet. Samtidig har præsident Joe Biden udsendt en erklæring om jordskælvet i Japan og tilbyder støtte til de berørte. Disse hændelser illustrerer det fortsatte behov for katastrofeberedskab, selv i veludviklede lande som Japan.
