Japan held a minute of thunder around 14:46 today, at the very moment when a powerful impact of land was marked on March 11, 2011, followed by a terrible tsunami and a nuclear disaster.
As every year, a formal ceremony is held in Tokyo with the presence of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Prince Accatio, the eldest son of Emperor Akihito and his wife Kiko, both representatives of the imperial couple and survivors.
In areas affected by the natural disaster in the northeast of the archipelagg, residents have kept a minute's silence, according to television footage.
”Explor my condolences to all those who lost loved ones and their dearest friends”, Abe said before giving the word to some residents.
Among them, a 70 - year - old woman originally from Fukushima region, Hideko Igarashi, expressed in a very late speech that Japan will never forget the effects of disaster. / ATA.
