False Flag op? Japanese scientists knew major tsunami was going to hit Japan, at least one month prior!
A report discovered by Japan’s NHK news, shows that officials knew in February that a major tsunami could hit Japan soon.
The report was put together by the Earthquake Research Committee. It looked at geographical evidence, and recent studies, and came up with a scenario that is exactly like what happened on 11 March. It even named Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures as being the hardest hit!
The conclusion of the report was that the prefectures of north east Honshu needed to make preparations. Even though the report was finish in February, the officials weren’t planning on releasing it until April. Apparently even the experts didn’t think it could actually happen.
Japan quake bigger than 9.0
Ocean researchers say the March 11 earthquake off the coast of north east Honshu, believe the quake was more powerful than 9.0.
The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, studied the sea floor at the epicenter of the March 11 quake, using a deep sea research vessel named “Kairei”. They determined that the sea floor rose 7 meters (23 feet), and moved 50 meters (164 feet).
The scientists say that the earthquake had to be more powerful than 9.0, in order to raise the sea floor 23 feet.
