I am checking for post quake pics. And this is one that I found.
I couldn't help but be astonished at the size of that whirlpool.

Good news: The nuclear central refrigerator system has been successfully reactivated.

@'[question:
;2166093']yea…that looks shooped, there's not enough rails for it to bend like that or there'd be parts that's ripped out also the land it's on isn't effected
It's a result of the The Canterbury Earthquake.

According to AP the reactor is at 1000 times normal levels -
Well in 1995 earthquake with 7,9 hit Kobe. Damage was estimated to 100 billions $
In comparison the indonesia tragedy a few years ago cost 10 billions $
9,0, I am glad the epicenter wasnt about 100 km to the south or it would have been 1000x worse both in casulties as in $ cost

Oh thank god that is a huge step forward.

I'm not sure if this has been shared yet but looking at this pic, everything looked like a pile of cluttered toys in aerial view.

That is both terrifying and awe-inspiring at the same time.

Did you notice the small boat near the eye of that whirlpool?
anyways…ground view could certainly bring you back to reality.

Ridiculous how people are taking this. This one guy on Facebook said "This is payback for Pearl Harbor". People really piss me off. I understand about joking during serious times, I do that all the time, and love to joke to relive tension. But this is something serious, and unless you're there, and you've lost someone, I don't think you have the slightest right to joke about this.

This is kind of ironic. This whirlpool formed in the bay of Ôarai City (大洗町).
If you were to literally translate that, it means the "Great Washing". -

What…the...hell!? I seriously doubt that guy was even there or affected by Pearl Harbor at this point in time. I hate it when people use events that happened long ago that you probably weren't around for or affected by as an excuse. And even if this happened back then, it's still completely innocent people who would have been affected by this the most.

I assume you de-friended him immediately? -
Damn Straight I did!

Any updates on this possible tsunami affected coastlines?

Few pages late n this, but the destroyed gundam is a photoshop job. Far as I know, the thing was a publicity stunt and it was only supposed to be up for two months. It should have been down for over a year already.
Which is really stupid amongst all the REAL destruction and chaos going on.
-

Thank God, at least it's one less trouble for them now.
Any chance of details? -

This is so terrible.
My heart goes out to all of them.

I'm more worried about the smaller archipelagic islands Ex. Taiwan, Philippines
And those yellow bound areas north east of Japan.
Could some please translate what does the color highlighted in the coastal areas mean in this streaming vid?

The color ranges from
Red
Pink
and Yellow

No, Uzumaki means whirlpool in japanese. Naruto is just the name of the place where you can such a whirlpool in Japan (it is a tourist attraction). Anyways, the whirlpool and the Kanji of the city just reminded of a big washing machine. This is not to say that I want to make jokes about the whole thing in any way. Just my mind drawing unnecessary conclusions.

It was up for two months in Odaiba, Tokyo, so far you are correct. But after that it got transferred to Shizuoka City (further west of Tokyo) and still stands/stood there as far as I know.

I just found out about this.
I know Japan is known for its earthquakes, but geez. This is downright terrifying. I hope things turn out alright over there…

There's good reason to be worried about all of them, since none have the same sophisticated infrastructures as Japan, so even much smaller waves and shocks can cause as much damage.
Tare_chan – our thoughts and hopes are with you and our other Indonesian AP folks too! Take care and be safe.

Host brother and his wife both stayed at their respective offices overnight, but are unharmed. Still no word on Papa's efforts to rescue sister and her baby.

Can't make out the kanji at that resolution, but I imagine that yellow–>purple-->red indicates increasing levels of danger/damage.

So far indonesia is safe, but north east coastal area has been advised and hundreds of families already move to hills.

ilman – Thanks for the update! I think Tare is located in the south east, but I don't remember exactly. Take care, and here's hoping that your country doesn't have to go through this kind of nightmare so soon after the last one.
CCC -- that's a relief about your host brother and his wife -- here's hoping daughter and baby will be found and safe soon too.

OK, I'm disgusted now. Pearl Harbor is trending on Twitter, and the top tweet for it was someone saying "Hey Japan, google 'Pearl Harbor' Death toll".
Seriously America?

I know Aohige already posted in this thread, so I think he's okay, and correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't he also live in Japan?

I thought he used to live there and has move out of the country.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed on the Internet.. And out of their basement.

It's those people who generally fail at everything in life, can't properly talk to people and try to vent their anger over themselves via the internet. Sad creatures indeed. I pity them for their narrowminded shitty excuse of an opinion but Karma will get them back eventually. :ninja:

Not much damage reported over there, though the surf's risen quite some feet.
Oda lives in Skypiea so he will be fine.
Get out before people pounce on you.
Has Oda checked in yet? I'm worried he could've been killed.
You too.

You just can't really change human nature, unfortunately.
It all depends on the choices and circumstances of the actual individual.
Concerning the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the east coast of Japan, however, that is indeed excruciatingly tragic; hopefully, as much people survived as it was possible, and that they'll recover from this tragedy soon, without any more nightmarish experiences.

that´s how it goes. americans love themselves too much and have no mercy on you when shit happens on you that nobody could control. but when shit happens on them it´s all.
Look at me! this is horrible, sympathize with me. i have done nothing to deserve this.
only when it affects them. you´ll see them stopping with jokes and offer moral support.
i even saw someone making a kanye west joke.
it went something along the lines of this

Yo Japan. I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Haiti had one of the best earthquakes of all time, OF ALL TIME!_ugh
