Stephen Spender's "Epilogue to a Human Drama" and Toge Sankichi's "Dying" are poems detailing the destruction of two cities, London and Hiroshima, respectively, during or after World War II bombings. Spender wrote "Epilogue to a Human Drama," hereafter referred to as "Epilogue," after a December air raid of London during the Battle of Britain, which ravaged and razed much of England from Summer 1940 until Spring 1941. Sankichi wrote "Dying" from his vivid recollections of the surprise atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which decimated the Japanese city in less than a second. Both the Battle of Britain and Hiroshima were horrible, senseless, and vicious incidents that exacted gave tolls on innocent victims. Spender endured the Battle of Britain, and Sankichi experienced the horror of Hiroshima. The poets' responses differ greatly in style and perspective, but each work clearly defines the ramifications of atrocities such as those committed against Spender, Sankichi, and the populations of London and Hiroshima.

A Tsunami in Santa Cruz Out of all the natural disasters that we talk about in class, the most deadly would have to be a tsunami. Compared to earthquakes, tsunamis have caused more deaths since 1945. A tsunami is likely to strike anywhere on the west coast, including Santa Cruz in California – United States – North America – 36:58:24N 122:02:09W. A tsunami is a giant “wave” of water that is caused by a sudden shift in the sea floor.
On August 29th, 2006 New Orleanians were expecting a total of 12 to 15 inches of rain and extended five or six inches from the upcoming storm later known as the costliest hurricane in U.S history. The Category 3 hurricane devastated most of eastern North America with blustery winds of 170 mph (280 km per hour) and storm surge values ranging from 10 to 20 feet. The storm called ‘’Hurricane Katrina’’ originated in the Bahamas on August 23th, 2005, but only became a devastation the next day. On August 28th, Hurricane Katrina succeeded a Category 3 hurricane(sustained winds of 122 kt) and exceeded the limits of a Category 5 storm (sustained winds of 136 kt). The following day, the cyclone shifted northwest towards Mississippi and Louisiana, where the hurricane hit the hardest. New Orleans was one of the cities where the most damage was caused; leaving a negative environment, residential and economic effects on the Gulf Coast.
The newly formed state of California, influenced mainly by the Gold Rush starting in 1848, sent the population sprawling upwards drastically. As more and more people established residency in the future area of what would be called San Francisco, area leaders were finally able to officially establish the City of San Francisco in 1856. The invention of the cable car in the late 1880s helped facilitate the traversing the city’s steep hills, which ended up allowing people to live farther from work and transportation to the heart of the city. San Francisco started out with a base population of approximately 30,000 people and increased to roughly 13 times that size by the time that the earthquake struck the city in 1906. The earthquake and fires greatly exposed the poorly constructed buildings of previous years. The destruction of San Francisco because of the earthquake and fires of 1906 allowed for a newly reconstructed city with bigger and better buildings that drove more business thereafter.
The effects caused by earthquakes are devastating. They cause loss of human life and have effects on infrastructure and economy. Earthquakes can happen at any time anywhere. In January 12, 2010 an earthquake of a magnitude of 7.0 hit the nation of Haiti. An estimation of 316,000 people were killed, and more than 1.3 million Haitians were left homeless (Earthquake Information for 2010). Haiti was in a terrified chaos. After the earthquake, families were separated because many of the members were killed. Homes, schools, and hospitals were demolished. People lost their most valuable belongings. It will take time for the country to recover from this terrible disaster. The long damages are economic issues, health-state, and environmental issues that effect in the beautiful island of Haiti.
A lot of the times when the word “hurricane” is mentioned, right away we go into a little panic mode because we know that a severe storm is approaching. Hurricane has been well recognized to be strong storms, which are formed across the tropical or subtropical zones that including the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. For the Hurricane to form and to maintain the storm active, it needs to be in a warm, humid and with a mild wind as well. Now the storms mentioned are also recognized as tropical cyclones, what is in general the same as the storms including Hurricanes and typhoons. I will be talking about one of the horrible hurricane that we came across that did a lot of disaster.
New Orleans Louisiana was known for being a very free-spirited, lively, tourist destination. Many people went there for the amazing southern food, the Jazz music festivals, and just to have a pretty much guaranteed good time. On August 29th 2005 things changed; Hurricane Katrina ripped through the city with rage leaving it in ruins. The whole city flooded and thousands of people were forced out of their homes; and unfortunately, many people lost their lives. Although Hurricane Katrina altered New Orleans forever, the city has then come together and has made a very strong recovery. I’m here to tell you that after everything this city has been through it remains a rewarding tourist destination.
On December 26, 2004 a wave of destruction hit the coasts along the Indian Ocean, affecting lives all over the world. Not only did this disaster bring about a world wide relief effort, but caused a reevaluation of the lack of warning systems in place for many regions threatened by seismic activity and potential devastating coastal impact of seafloor earthquakes. Six months later, information abounds in text, television, and periodicals for any lay person to research. The diversity of perspective is another matter.
Many individuals today recognize Haiti, as a country that endured the tragic earthquake in 2010. But, Haiti is not a country that is only known for its loss, but one that has history, culture, and practices. This country is located about 1,000 kilometers from Florida, and lies between 18° and 20°N and 72° and 74° W (Lawless, 2012). The country is between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean (Purnell, 2013). The country itself is on the Hispaniola Island, where it shares the island with the Dominican Republic (Lawless, 2012). The country also consists of 27,750 square kilometers, which is close to the size of the state Massachusetts, which is 27,336 square kilometers (State Area Measurements and Internal Point Coordinates ). The land of Haiti
On the Friday, 11 march of 2011, Japan was struck by a massive Tsunami and a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Tōhoku. The destruction caused by this mammoth natural disaster was indescribable, the cost of the damage done was estimated to about tens of billions of US dollars, coastal settlements were wrecked inhabitable and businesses as well as infrastructures are also put out of business. It was one of the largest crisis japan has seen on its own land in the century. Moments after the great disaster, appeared Japan’s underworld, the Yakuza. They were the first responders on the scene (faster than the NPA, National Police Agency), even aid agencies took days to arrive on scene, handing out water and food supplies to survivors.
Imagine more than half of the population of Kenosha being over-taken by a deluge of water without warning or the ability to escape. On December 26, 2004, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale, occurred in the Indian Ocean off of the Samaritan coast, triggering the deadliest tsunami in recorded history. Before the tsunami, this region of the world was one of the most sought after vacation spots. After the record-breaking destruction, the pristine beach front and inviting residents were forever changed. The regional damage was so massive that it demanded a response on a global scale for rescue, recovery, stability, and to rebuild this treasured place.
Just after midnight on 3 December 1984, a dense gas cloud formed and rolled through the city of Bhopal and its surrounding villages. The people that inhaled the gas immediately started feeling its affect. They coughed uncontrollably, the gas burning their eyes, noses, and throats. The gas then attacked their central nervous system and, if they were unable to escape the cloud, they fell dead.
