'Not any harm' is quite a cynic formulation. Maybe a couple of hundred deaths seems relatively few, for such an enormous event. But the impact the event had on Japan, their economy and their mental state, was obviosly the worst since WW2.

And Fukushima is still not under control.

Don't forget almost 20,000 people died in the tsunami, nuclear or not!

I think the 6-7x 9/11 is the foundation of pain, even if nuclear is an extra salient cherry on top.
