▶ Your Answer :
Have you ever imagined yourself being a god? I've always dreamed controling the whole world; people, events, and even nature! I would have the power to make the world go as I want, and I will also be able to change the future and the past. But what if I could only do one thing as a god? In this situation, I would choose to stop a natural disaster that has happened in the past. Among those disasters, I would choose the earthquake in Japan, which occurred in 2011.
The earthquake in Japan had the power of magnitude 9.0, which means that it was the fourth strongest earthquake in the world. The country wouldn't have been damaged so much if the disaster didn't occur near the coast. Unfortunately, since the plates collided near the east coast, a giant tsunami struck the area and numerous cities were badly damaged. Buildings collapsed just like towers of lego blocks, cars were swept away like ferries, even people. What's even more, residents of damaged areas lost their homes because of the strong power of the tsunami. These people fell in despair and just thanked God for letting them survive.
When I first saw a news broadcast about the disaster, I felt so sorry for Japan. I began to worry, "How will they be able to survive without homes, food, and nothing?" Of course, I kind of felt that I was lucky to not be involved in the earthquake and the tsunami. But still, I sensed that I wanted to stop the disaster. I wanted to stop the movement of Earth. So if I have the power to stop a natural disaster that has occurred in the past, I would choose the earthquake in Japan.
What was even worse than the tsunami was the nuclear power plant explosion. Due to the earthquake, a machine cooling down the nuclear suddenly stoppd operating, and as a result of this, the powerplant exploded and radioactive rays were released. Because of the effect of the rays, plants, animals, and even people started to deform. Babies without limbs were born, and flowers lost their original forms.
What's even more, seawater that was used temporarily to lower the temperature of the nuclear was flown back to the ocean. This toxinated water started to pollute the whole pacific ocean. Currently, more than half of the ocean is toxinated. As a result of this, it is highly dangerous to consume seafood nowadays. Once we have fish that have been exposed to the radioactive rays, our bodies can be polluted as well. If so, we would have to suffer from cancer and other health problems. This is the reason why I want to stop the 2011 earthquake if I could.
I believe the 2011 earthquake was a total disaster. Countless people were dead and injured, and a huge amount of radioactive rays and gases were released into the air. It would have been good if we could stop it. However, it already took place in the past, and it's impossible to go back to the past now. What we should do is to prepare for future disasters. We should build structures using strong materials, educate people about natural disasters, and put in other efforts so that we do not lose many things then.
