What's on some Japanese's mind after March 11, 2011?
|||
I happened to have a chance to chat with a Japanese visitor today. I was surprised to hear that some Japanese suspect that the next disaster awaiting for them is the over-due eruption of Mt. Fuji.
I was so shocked to hear this that I googled... Well, you can decided for yourself what to believe. I know as a fact that Mount St. Helens' 1982 eruption was well forecast. Yes, the destruction was huge, but only limited lives were lost. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_St._Helens )
Will scientists be able to forecast the next eruption of Mr. Fuji? I hope so.

From National Geographic a few year ago:
...
It's therefore no wonder that Fuji is arguably the world's most closely
watched volcano.
The mountain is wired to the hilt with dense global positioning system
arrays and seismometers. It is scrutinized with state-of-the-art laser mapping
technology and is bombarded with constant investigations.
