Huh, TIL.

There is a nuclear plant in Japan that was much closer to the epicenter of the 2011 earthquake, and it took just as big of a tsunami as the plant that melted down.

Except *this* plant has a 15m seawall essentially because one dude went "No fuck you build it right". And it took both the quake and the water just fine.

Correction: it has a 18m seawall. After 2011 they went "fuck" and made it bigger.
