Japan’s bullet trains showcase remarkable disaster resilience

Japan’s bullet trains showcase remarkable disaster resilience.

During the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, the Shinkansen’s early warning system detected seismic waves 12 seconds before impact, triggering emergency brakes.

All 33 passenger trains stopped safely, with only one unoccupied test train derailing. This real-time safety technology continues to safeguard millions of riders in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions.
