It isn't a surprise that with any disaster, haunting memories will follow as well as ghost stories. However, despite the ghost stories we hear, what happened at Okawa elementary school on the day of March 11, 2011 was extremely real and very heart-breaking as well as horrifying.
While we do discuss some of the ghost stories today, the real topic of today is Okawa Elementary School, and keeping the memory alive for the sake of those lost as well as their families.

While Fukushima Daiichi is the plant that comes to mind when people think of the Nuclear Disaster that occurred in Japan in 2011, not much is said about the sister plant that managed to survive the nuclear catastrophe that could have been.
Subtle differences in leadership played a key factor for motivation and overall how the plant outcomes turned out. We'll discuss today how Fukushima Daini was left mostly unharmed.

March 11, 2011, one of the biggest earthquakes ever to be recorded in history would hit Japan, causing massive amounts of damage. The resulting Tsunami, would claim more lives and result in the destruction of many buildings like the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

31 years ago, the 1992 LA riots burned through many businesses in the LA, devastating many in its wake. In response to the threat of their businesses being looted or burned down, Korean immigrants took to the roofs of their businesses to protect their livelihoods.
This episode looks into the start of the riots, what caused the strains, and potentially why the Roof Koreans were ones who had to fight that much harder for their protection.
