Japan’s Triple Disaster: 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake, Tsunami, and the Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown

We are headed back to Japan for the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, tsunami, and the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. It is a harrowing tale of sudden destruction, loss of life, loss of land, and survival. One disaster after another while trying to save half of Japan from becoming the next Chernobyl. Jessica walks us through the chain of events and the state of those areas today, including the many spirits that roam the beaches and coastal towns searching for answers and closure.
