The root cause of the Fukushima nuclear disaster

From  CNN, 
"What must be admitted -- very painfully -- is that this was a disaster 'Made in Japan,'" the report said. "Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to 'sticking with the program.'"
But why was that ingrained in the first place? What was the journey of the Japanese people that they needed to ingrained such mindset, such habits?

  1. Did they become too proactive on possible damages that they eventually became passive? Whatever surprising event one country may face, it will always be base on their culture on how they will respond.

    If we will look in the same way as the writer of the article, we would see every disaster as man-made.
