On January 17, 1995, at 05:46:52 (JST) the Great Hanshin Earthquake (阪神淡路大震災: Hanshin Awaji Daishinsai) happened. It was the biggest earthquake ever happened in the Kansai Area. 6,434 lives were lost from this earthquake. It's been 16 years. People living that area still have memorial services at 05:46:52 on January 17 every year.
How many things in your life do you remember what happened when? You must remember many things happened on the specific days. But how about time? It must be very rare to be remembered the exact minutes and the seconds.
In this sense this big earthquake is one of the very outstanding events happened in Japanese history. There are still many people suffering from the trauma.....
