I do not think so.
Such a tragedy is not related to any human act. Such event (earthquake/tsunami) happened many times in the past, and will continue to happen in the next million years.
What really calls my attention is the efficiency of the Japanese people to react to such trouble and prejudice.
In the beginning of the year, here in Brazil, we faced the (expected) annual rain flood and land slips... which is 1000 times more predictable than any earthquake/tsunami, produces 1000 times less destruction, but the amount of deaths in Brazil looks like to be the same (or more than) in this Japan incident.
In the same time, the Australian people had ten times more prejudice with flood, but they had a hundred times less deaths.
