This piece of news caught my attention because it was really dramatic not just for those people who were living there, but also for those who have an acquaintance or a relative there.
Thanks to global communication systems, we could all realize what was happening in japan instantly; also we could see the TV programs with several videos and images to show us how bad was that.
After all this time the repercussions of this catastrophe could be seen until now. Although japan government fix a lot of thing very quickly (streets, hospitals, and so one), there are a lot of people with many things to do to recover their past life, just like here in Chile. But the high thing here is the nuclear plants in danger; those plants were in real danger for about 3 month. So in my opinion that was the issue to make this news one of the most news of the year, the problems to the ordinary people and the problems that could be a problem for the country because of those plants.
