In 2011, a HUGE earthquake started off the coast of Japan…and no one saw it coming…

That’s why just months afterwards, Japan started building a network of detectors in the ocean to cover the place where tectonic plates meet.

It has increased warning times enough to divert incoming planes, trains, and boats, saving lives!
