Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I muri i te ru o Tōhoku
(nui 9.1) i te Maehe 2011, i whakahaerehia te tipu ki te mana ohorere i whakaratohia e nga kaihanga diesel taapiri. Kāore i hangaia ngā pūkaha ohotata mō te whakamahi wā roa. E ai ki ngā pūrongo, tata ki te 3,000 taranata o te pūkaha karihi kua whakamahia, e tino pāhekoheko ana, kei te rokiroki i Rokkasho i tēnei wā. I pūrongotia e te reo irirangi Hapanihi i te 13 o Poutu-te-rangi, e 600 rita o te wai i rere ki te puna wahie o Rokkasho. E ai ki te "The New York Times", i whakahoutia te mana o te whatunga i te 14 o Maehe 2011.
