Disaster in Japan

Discuss the earthquake in Japan that triggered tsunamis.

my friends has realtives in Japan 1 lost their house and they couldn't get hold of the other ones

The tsunami videos scare me

That was a brutal natural disaster. Madness I tell you. Not only among the raging tsunami which carried houses and cars on FIRE and the shaking earthquakes which rocked Japan, but also the nuclear DISASTER due to the overheating plants with malfunctioning cooling systems. A Chernobyl all over again? I hope not. It shouldn't be like it too, but still. It's tragic. May Japan recover from the devastation.

I hope they can reover quickly.

The begining of 2012

Mother nature is warning us.

I'm just worried about my anime and manga as selfish as that may sound.

Mhm theres rumors that the creator of Pokemon and the creator of Naruto might have died in the earthquake/tsunamis.

Those rumors are false though.

lol 2012.
Well the tsunami hit more of the "ruralish" areas of Japan, so none of the main cities were hit. The earthquake did cause damage, but what caused the casualty number to rise was the tsunami. However, the nuclear crisis doesnt seem to be any better. =\

Just noticed that

im scared though for me...selfish as that may be cus they're scared the radiation might spread to where i am

Radiation should be contained since it wasnt an explosion like Chernobyl. But yeah, you shouldnt worry about it that much. Depends where you live as well. The chances of radiation reaching is decreased the farther you are from Japan, but like I said before. The chances of the radiation spreading are very small.

A) This is not Chernobyl. The Chernobyl disaster of '96 had radiation 800-1,000,0000 (insert radiation units here). This one only reached about 400 and has since dropped, but we still got reactor #4 to look over.
B) The radiation WON'T SPREAD. It's only about a 20 mile radius.
C) The anime people are alive, so don't complain about your anime being delayed. That's just selfish and disrespectful.
D) THE WORLD ISN'T GOING TO END IN 2012! Must I remind people of Y2K and 6/6/06?

What I do find weird is this.
9/11/01
3/10/11

A guy I know showed this to my Global class. *shrugs* It's not going to happen, calm down.

9/11/01
3/10/11
12/21/12

9+3=12

That's Chernobyl. You know, the thing that's been mentioned like four times and was mentioned in Call of Duty 4?

Google. It's your friend.

i hate Google i use Ask lol

I heard the radiation from the power plant will hit the west coast tomarrow but then i heard the president said it wouldn't hit. I dont believe him. I just read an article it said its mostly contained on most reactors like Jd said

i belive it wont hit the west coast

This statement is full of contradiction. Please reword it better so I can understand whether or not you believe it will hit the west coast.

Earthquake didn't happen in 3/10/11
It happened in 3/11/11. Remember the time zones man. They are your friend. lol
But thanks for providing some info JD. Appreciate it.
