Surprisingly there were no injuries or deaths reported minutes after the quake occured. This was a huge shovk to everyone because Japan is one of the most earth quake prone countries in the world. Thankfully there were no drastic injuries, or destruction of buildings. This time Japan was lucky, unlike in 1995 when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake killed 6,400 people.
