ADC Doctor Diverted by Japan Earthquake
Dr. Wayne Rosenkrantz (Tustin, CA) was en route to Tokyo, Japan on March 11 when his flight was diverted fifteen minutes before landing due to an earthquake.
The event, of course, was the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake and deadly tsunami that struck the coastal town of Sendai 165 miles away. Although Tokyo was spared from the disaster, it was unknown at the time if the runways were affected and the plane landed 500 miles north in the city of Sapporo. It resulted in a 22- hour trip.
Dr. Rosenkrantz, an international speaker, was invited to lecture to a group of veterinarians in two cities that weekend. On Saturday, he made his way back to Tokyo arriving as the conference was ending. He was able to speak on Sunday in Osaka.
Japan offers world-class public transportation, both in comfort and efficiency, yet the earthquake disrupted travel plans for many. Dr. Rosenkrantz says he was fortunate to find trains running when he needed them but he learned later that many had cancelled service immediately afterwards.
While in Japan, Dr. Rosenkrantz says he did experience aftershocks, including some measuring greater than magnitude of 6.0 which even for this California native, it was quite a jolt.
He returned home safely on March 14.
