Natural Disaster Documentary

Since Mr. Chahl is forcing me to catch up on work, I guess I have to do this...
 You see, we watched this one documentary that had a guy in it that I couldn't stand to listen to.  He had a terrible accent that irritated me.  The documentary was about natural disasters.  It explained how osme natural disasters can be preventable due to our modern technology advancements, but others may not be.  It mainly talked about how tsunamis and earthquakes can be detected ahead of time.  This is great because it can save many more people from these horrible events.  An example of one of the unpreventable events would be the earthquake in Japan in March of 2011.  They had no time to prepare for a HUGE earthquake.  Even worse, they had to time to get away from the tsunami that was coming their way an hour later due to the earthquake.  Japan has a wall that protects them from tsunamis.  However, they were not lucky this time.  The tsunami waves cleared the wall easily.  This wasn't the end of the disaster either.  The next day, a nuclear powerplant exploded and created a radiation leak. Yeah, it sucks to have been in Japan during that.
