Japan braces for more quakes, authorities dismiss doomsday hype
Japan Braces for Aftershocks, Dismissing Doomsday Fears
Following a powerful earthquake that struck Japan yesterday, authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant for potential aftershocks. The 7.4 magnitude quake hit the Noto Peninsula, triggering tsunami warnings and widespread power outages. While damage assessments are ongoing, officials emphasize there's no basis for the "doomsday" speculation circulating online.
Adding to the unusual situation, several Japanese airlines have canceled flights due to public anxiety fueled by a popular manga (Japanese comic) that predicted a disaster. This has sparked a wave of panic, though experts dismiss claims linking the quake to prophecies like those of Baba Vanga, a late Bulgarian mystic.
Resilience and preparedness remain key as Japan navigates this challenging period.
