The local government\u2019s decision on Monday was made based on a survey conducted by a liaison council. The survey revealed that more people want to have the Unosumai Chiku Bosai Center demolished compared to those who prefer to keep it standing. \u201cWhile some argued that the facility should be preserved as a lesson from the disaster, we reached a decision to respect the will of the bereaved families,\u201d said Kamaishi Mayor Takenori Noda.<\/p>\n<p>The local government also claimed accountability for what happened to more than 200 residents. \u201cThe city is partly responsible for the loss of so many precious lives at a municipal facility, and I feel sorry for that,\u201d Noda admitted. The demolition request sent to Noda expressed permission to carry out the task as soon as possible. The centre will then be dismantled as early as October.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/mainichi.jp\/english\/english\/newsselect\/news\/20130730p2a00m0na010000c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via<\/a> Mainichi]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kamaishi Municipal Government in Iwate Prefecture revealed on Monday that it will demolish the Unosumai Chiku Bosai Center as soon as possible.
