Episode Details

A powerful earthquake rattled Japan’s Kyushu island, initially jolting at 7.1 before being downgraded to 6.8 — triggering a tsunami warning that was quickly lifted. Though no nuclear plants were affected, the quake left roads, bridges, and buildings damaged, sparked fires, and caused power outages. Emergency crews raced to respond as aftershocks loomed, urging residents to stay alert and cautious of falling debris and fire risks. Bullet trains halted, airports closed, and military aircraft were deployed to survey the chaos — all while echoes of the 2016 Kumamoto disaster reminded locals of the region’s vulnerability.
