Nagasaki 1945, after the atomic bomb:
Nagasaki 2011, following earthquake and tsunami: 
My question is: What the HELL is that arch made of!? |
| That's not the same arch. Nagasaki was as far as you could be from the Earthquake and Tsunami and still be on a home island. All of the destruction occurred in the NE part of Japan, Nagasaki is on the SW corner. The earthquake barely registered there and the wave height was recorded as .8 meters. The arch is just a Shinto shrine arch, they are all over Japan. They sure know how to build 'em though. |
