Japanese house drifting in the Pacific, days after the earthquake

Posted on | March 17, 2011 |

This photo is sad. But amazing at the same time. Days after the quake, photographed, it is floating in the pacific ocean after the Japan earthquake and tsunami.

110313-N-SB672-164 PACIFIC OCEAN (March 13, 2011) A Japanese home is seen adrift in the Pacific Ocean. Ships and aircraft from the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group are searching for survivors in the coastal waters near Sendai, Japan. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Dylan McCord/Released)

There have got to be something in the house build that made it float (I am assuming it sank eventually). The walls gotta be sealed tight allowing very little water to sip in. The flooring too might be left unscathed and is intact. Or maybe the bottom part is gone, the air inside the house makes it float (Japanese houses are bulit light, right?). Like I said, it’s amazing and sad. Anyhow, hoping the owner of the house is not there and is alive and safe.

 

BTW, please read this, um, another amazing story, Why There Is No Looting in Japan.
