January 1st: Magnitude 7.6 earthquake rips the land, topples buildings, blazes neighborhoods, and cuts off power to a hundred thousand of households in Ishikawa prefecture. Tsunami waves over a meter high hit the coast.
January 2nd: There is a fiery plane crash at Haneda when a JAL flight from Hokkaido hits a Coast Guard plane mistakenly on their runway. All the JAL passengers & crew escaped. The military crew did not.
We’ve had two major disasters covering four elements – earth and water, air and fire – and it’s only the first week of 2024. I hope that the dragon calms down a bit from here.
