Japan Rocked Out By Nuclear Explosion. Although this topic may not seem too connecting with economics it will drastically affect the land of the rising sun and its economy. With all the recent poop that has happened the last thing Japan needed was for the power plant to leak and malfunction resulting the the escape of radiation into the open space and more importantly now with their main energy source the economy when it recovers it will definitely face a huge blow because the entire community around the reactor had to be evacuated and now those communities must face the hardship of living out in the streets and with the whole country in peril it will take a hefty toll in the economies all around the world. I feel that we should start a relief fund to help provide food and medical supplies to the people in need over there in japan. [] puuuuto

A hand in the shadows So as you can clearly tell from my other article japan is going through a rought time BUT guess who shows up to the rescue yup you guessed it. Russia no just kidding its USA and they have already sent two SH-60 helicopters to deliver 1500 pounds of bread and rice to the people of Shiroishi where recent studies show has been hit the hardest and needs the most aid. Also as soon as the whole nightmare was over for japan people here in the united states quickly jump at the chance to help and begin planning relief programs to help raise funds to help the downed people of japan. And with all these plans the military has to help japan its astounding how much people truly care about each other beside the point that man is truly dark at heart. I strongly believe we should hold some form of fund raiser here in TOHS to help japan in any way possible. Because if we were in some form of disaster other countries would come and help us so we should show an example to the rest of them. Listed below are some of the programs going on now.

"According to reports, the Reagan is serving as place for Japanese helicopters to land and refuel. There are two escort ships with the Reagan and four more destroyers on the way to conduct search and rescue, according to reports. The Tortuga is loaded with two heavy lift MH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters. The USS Essex, an amphibious ship carrying a 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit is still a couple days away. The USS Blue Ridge, a command ship loaded with relief supplies, has left Singapore but it will get to Japan after Essex. The U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command forces are poised to support relief operations in Japan, according to AMC officials. Numerous AMC aircraft and crews have been placed on alert, according to officials, positioning forces to take-off within hours of receiving the call to support the humanitarian relief effort. Tanker and airlift aircraft are included in the alert posture. Forces from the 615th Contingency Response Wing at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., are poised to deploy to open and operate airfields and receive and off-load humanitarian relief supplies, according to a release."
