Japocalypse

The sum of the events that occured in Japan as a result of the earthquakes of March 11, 2011. The earthquakes triggered massive tsunami waves 30 feet in size that completely destroyed the areas near Sendai, the epicentre of the event. Following the natural disasters, several major nuclear reactors started failing, causing widespread radioactive fallout. As of the publishing date of this definition, only the first three waves of destruction have ocurred: Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Nuclear Fallout. More will follow, undoubtedly, as potential for nuclear meltdown is possible causing mutations; biological events due to cross-contamination of sewage and drinking water, famine; let's not forget civil unrest caused by tainted sushi and jammed vending machines that dispense used panties, etc.
