Japan earthquake: timeline of the disaster, from tsunami to nuclear crisis

• Friday March 11

At 14:46 in Japan, a massive earthquake, 8.9 on the Richter scale, unleashes a huge tsunami which crashes through Japan's eastern coastline, sweeping buildings, boats, cars and people miles inland.

In Tokyo - hundreds of miles from the quake - large buildings shake violently and workers scramble into the streets for safety.

More than 50 aftershocks follow - seven at least 6.3 on the Richter scale, the size of the quake which struck New Zealand on February 22.

Sendai airport, north of Tokyo, is inundated with cars, trucks and buses and thick mud cover its runways.

A large fire erupts at the Cosmo oil refinery in Ichihara city near Tokyo and burns out of control, with 100ft flames whipping into the sky.

A "state of emergency" is declared at one of the country's nuclear power plants after the Fukushima reactor, around 30 miles inland from the north east coast, suffers a cooling system failure. Around 3,000 people are evacuated from a 6.2-mile exclusion zone.

The evening sees confirmation of hundreds of dead.

• Saturday March 12

Japan's government launches a massive rescue mission mobilising thousands of troops, 300 planes and 40 ships amid fears more than a thousand people have died.

US military vessels and aircraft carriers are sent, along with relief teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Korea.

There is an explosion at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant.

Operators at the plant's Unit 1 detect eight times the normal radiation levels outside and 1,000 times normal inside Unit 1's control room.

.

Japan's government spokesman says the explosion that tore through the nuclear plant did not affect the reactor.

The death toll rises to at least 1,300 dead but thousands more are missing - including 10,000 from the coastal town of Minamisanriku.

More than 215,000 people are living in 1,350 temporary shelters in five prefectures, or states, the national police agency says.

More than one million households have no water. Four million buildings are without power.

• Sunday March 13

Japan's nuclear safety agency says the cooling system of a third nuclear reactor at Fukushima has failed - experts constantly monitor levels of radioactivity in the quarantined area.

Around 170,000 people have been evacuated from a 12-mile radius around the Fukushima number one nuclear plant.

A government spokesman says the blast destroyed a building which housed a nuclear reactor, but the reactor escaped unscathed.

The Japanese government doubles the number of troops pressed into rescue and recovery operations to about 100,000.

Prime minister Naoto Kan appeals to Japanese citizens to unite in overcoming what he says is the country's worst crisis since the Second World War.

Nuclear plant operators try to keep temperatures down in a series of reactors.

Chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano warns a hydrogen explosion could occur at Unit 3 of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex - the latest reactor to face a possible meltdown.

Mr Edano says the radiation released into the environment so far is so small it does not pose any health threats.

Japan's nuclear agency says up to 160 people were taken to hospital after possibly being exposed to radiation while waiting to be evacuated.

Seismologists say the quake - one of the largest recorded - was actually 9.0 rather 8.9 on the Richter scale.

• Monday March 14

A second hydrogen explosion is reported, this time at the unit 3 reactor at the Fukushima plant. Six people are injured.

The British Embassy in Tokyo is bolstered with extra staff flown in from across Asia, London and the Americas to help search hospitals for survivors in the worst-hit areas.

Japanese stocks nosedive as the huge cost of the disaster fuels fears about the country's economy.

The Bank of Japan moves to stabilise markets by injecting a record 15 trillion yen (£114.4 billion) into money markets.

Fears of a major slowdown in the world's third-largest economy spark a huge slump in Japanese shares, with Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index closing more than 6% lower and some of the world's biggest firms, such as Toshiba, Toyota and Honda, sustaining heavy share price losses.

• Tuesday March 15

Dangerous levels of radiation leak from the Fukushima plant after a third explosion, believed to be in the number 2 reactor, and a fire, rock the complex.

In an televised statement after the blast, prime minister Kan urges those within 19 miles of the area to stay indoors.

3/5 - DIA DO TAQUÍGRAFO

Taquigrafia (do grego taqui = rápido e grafia = escrita) é um termo geral que define todo método abreviado ou simbólico de escrita, com o objetivo de melhorar a velocidade da escrita ou a brevidade, em comparação a um método padrão de escrita. A diferença entre taquigrafia eestenotipia é que a taquigrafia é feita a mão, geralmente usando lápis ou caneta; já a estenotipia utiliza máquinas próprias na composição dos taquigramas. (Wikipédia)
