7. One has to remember...
unbelievably stupid.
Can you see the sea from that location? Yes?
Could a tsunami wipe it out? Yes?
Then why the fuck would you put it there???
=====================================

One has to remember that this was a mega-quake with a mega-tsunami.

The plants are designed to withstand quakes and tsunamis, but not of the magnitude
of this one.

It's true of any engineered machine made by Man.

Your airliner is designed to be able to withstand the buffeting of large storms.
Every so often, one hears the reports of how an airliner was tossed around in a
storm but landed safely.

However, there's the one-in-a-million storm, or one-in-ten-million storm that is so
severe that the airliner can not withstand it.

Do we abandon air travel because our airliners can't withstand the one-in-a-million storm?
