00:00The scientists say that a mega-séisme could hit Japan at all moment.
00:06And if we don't listen to them, it could be the most catastrophic of all the time.
00:10But the excuse will not be the biggest problem.
00:12The real threat will come a few hours later
00:15and could touch countries as far as far as the United States.
00:20The data sismic show an accumulation of energy
00:23under the ocean at the east of Hokkaido.
00:26In general, the extraterrestrial emmagasine more and more energy
00:30and it increases every year.
00:32The pressure is now so strong
00:34that it could cause a wave of magnitude 9.
00:37It's the type of wave the most powerful and the most dangerous.
00:40It can destroy the infrastructure,
00:42rase the villages in a few seconds
00:44and make thousands of victims.
00:47But the tremblement of Earth is not even the worst.
00:50The problem is that it often generates tsunamis just after.
00:53And they are even more destructive than the seasides themselves.
00:57These waves can traverse the Pacific
00:59atteignant the countries to thousands of kilometers
01:02without almost losing energy.
01:05The last time that a mega-séisme hit Japan in 2011,
01:10the effects caused damage to Crescent City in California.
01:16So even at the other end of the world,
01:18no one would be able to manage it.
01:20And this time, the challenges are much more important.
01:23What makes all this more inquieting,
01:25is that we don't know exactly when it will happen.
01:29In Japan, the researchers say that the mega-séisme
01:33hit the coast of Hokkaido
01:34around every 340 to 380 years.
01:37The last event of this type
01:39had a lieu in the 17th century,
01:40and around 400 years.
01:42So in general, the region is in sursis.
01:45And according to the models past,
01:47it would already have to be produced.
01:49The probability that this disaster will arrive in 30 years
01:53is up to about 90%.
01:56And it will surely continue to climb.
01:58It's why some think that this could happen very soon.
02:02The Japanese authorities know
02:04that this is not a question of if,
02:06but of when.
02:07They have built a whole system
02:09around this reality.
02:11They have one of the seismic networks
02:13the most sophisticated world.
02:15It is designed to detect the first signals
02:18and send an alert in a few seconds
02:20before even that the earthquakes start.
02:23And when the network captures the first signals
02:25seismic,
02:26it creates an immediate reaction reaction
02:28in every country.
02:30First, people will receive an immediate alert
02:33on the television,
02:35the radio and smartphones.
02:36Then, the trains will stop.
02:38The factories will stop.
02:40These signals will even stop the computers
02:42and stop the ascensors
02:43at the most close.
02:45All this happens automatically.
02:47They have also traced
02:49the evacuations in advance
02:51with the streets
02:52that are measured
02:52moving towards the heights.
02:54Even though the Meteorological Agency
02:56take all the precautions,
02:59they also advise,
03:00if you expect to visit the country,
03:03to follow the information
03:04before taking the plane.
03:07Because a disaster could happen at all moment.
03:10no.
