About Otsuchi Jiro Latabatra

Ny Otsuchi dia jiro latabatra vita amin'ny hoditra serfa avy any Otsuchi, Iwate, Japana. Nianjeran'ny tsunami vokatry ny Horohorontany Lehibe tany Atsinanan'i Japana tamin'ny 2011 io tanàna io. Simba avy eo ny voly teo an-toerana satria nitombo ny isan'ny serfa ary nihena ny isan'ny mponina. Nanomboka orinasa fivarotana henan-biby fihaza ny mpihaza teo an-toerana mba hampiasana ny serfa nohazaina toy ny biby manimba. Ny jiro dia namboarina avy amin'ny rafitra vita pirinty 3D voarakotra hoditra serfa, ary ny endriny ivelany dia mampahatsiahy ny bikan'ny biby velona. Manome voninahitra ny ain'ny serfa io famolavolana io ary manolotra fisiana milamina.
