Fukushima, Japan.

Fukushima, Japan. The 2011 tsunami struck this seaside school, which stood only 250m away from the coast.
Disregarding the protocol to shelter in-place, staff and students instead fled to high ground. As the wave inundated the school, this action saved 100 lives as water reached the gym ceiling.

@ObsidianUrbex It's a miracle they disregarded the protocol since it's heavily frowned upon in the japanese culture, even in situations where it doesn't make sense.

@ObsidianUrbex Did it reach the ceiling in this photographed building? The floor shows heavy water damage, but the walls and ceiling look pristine. I'd expected more visual cues of the water presence. -

I really appreciate the history you add to your photographs. Helps me getting transported there.
As a side note, I'm impressed by how much they decided to raise the floor here. I'm guessing an architecture practice to preserve the wood from ground humidity. @ObsidianUrbex -
