9.0 earthquake hits Japan
-
-
Amazing pic Renegade.
here's the latest.
The explosions that could potentially have been EXTREMELY bad news are ironically somewhat good news.
In the initial blast radiation was released that is essentially three times what we normally absorb from space in a year, not too bad. But the level sank back to even lower levels after 3 minutes so relatively speaking it's a good situation.
Furthermore, THANKS to the blasts the pressure released and water can continue to be flushed into the surrounding chamber to continue cooling it.
-
I just read on Yahoo news that the earthquake was so powerful, it caused the entire east coast of Japan to shift 13 feet toward North America.

Damn. Another 28,512,000 feet, and it'll be apart of North America. :ninja:
Though really, for one earthquake, that seems really huge since I think it's usually only a few inches a year if I remember right.

oh my ****ing god
this one takes the cake
there is no excuse for this. i am sorry to post this here but i feel it needs to be seen, because it's beyond crazy.
i have only seen "jokes" but i hadn't found someone who was HAPPY that this happened. the ****? sorry i am in rage at the moment
That is the most stupidest, inconsiderate person I've ever seen. I'm a christian and all, but this is just absurd and insulting.

So I just had a phone call with a friend of mine who’s living in Japan. She’s living in Sendai and as you may know that’s the city that got hot the worst. Well, she’s okay and her family too so far, but she was close to tears when she called me and after she told me what happened… I’m crying too.
She said that she’s been in the middle of the street after the earthquake and when the tsunami came, together with her mother and her little brother (2 years old). The water was too fast so they had to hide in the shelter of a house but they knew that the water would rise more and more and that they had to get away from there or else they would drown. They kept yelling and somehow a man saw them from a balcony of the house they were hiding behind. Well, that man jumped down from the balcony and into the water and helped my friend and her mother and brother to get up into the house and the safety even though the water was getting stronger and stronger and making it even more impossible to stand. My friend’s mother insisted on her kids going first and then the man helped her up the balcony too.
She just turned around and he grabbed her hand to get out of the water too when a car (one of hundreds) was being washed down the street and in his direction. My friend’s mother and the other people were yelling… and he suddenly let go of her hand so that she wouldn’t get pulled into the water when the car hit and drowned him.
My friend and her family survived… thanks to a stranger who gave his life to rescue them. He could’ve stayed in the save building but instead he helped them. I was so touched when she told me her story.
I don’t know the name of this man, his story, who he was… but I want to give him a special moment in my prayers today and in the future.
He’s a true hero.

We should all hold this departed hero in our memories, hearts, and prayers.
-
Oh dear God…....that's just too tragic for me to handle.
I can't stop crying. -
T_T i am going to say a prayer for that man tonight.
so Global News Toronto just said the radiation is becoming unsafe. ???
also, they had a story of a class trip to japan, that was in the air towards the affected area. they had to land at an air base in japan. They just got back to Toronto tonight.
-
Oh god, I just can't stop crying. That was just… beautifully tragic. God bless that man, who ever he was. He's a true hero. I hope he lived a good life.

For some reason this events reminds of the movie FISH STORY.
-
God… You honestly don't hear too often of people outside fiction who actually lay their lives down to save another. I hope this man gets repayment in the afterlife, whatever that may be, for his heroic actions. "Hero" doesn't mean comic book hereos. But this man is the true definition of the word.
-
May that man among men rest in peace, bless his soul.
-
That man's actions are the pinnacle of how someone should act. Rest in Peace, Hero. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
-
Men like this make me want to keep on living.
-
Absolute respect to the man who passed away keeping others safe. Sometimes I forget such brave and caring people exist.
-
May he rest in peace. He deserves it.

We should have spoilers of 618 right now, but there's no gasoline supply and power failure in Tokyo which may influence truck delivery.
Let's wait for tomorrow.

Issue 16 will be released on Saturday instead of Monday, and not all parts of Japan will be able to get the it. So pretty much we're good for our weekly manga fix.
But more importantly, holy damn that was one touching story. It's always an amazing feeling when you realize that the world really is filled with good people.**

By a while you mean a couple days? Since Jump will be released this week..

Here's something that you all might want to read, that a friend of mine linked me to:
Not reassuring, but it does clarify things. Let's just keep hoping that the worst case scenario doesn't happen…

Ishihara withdrew his statement about the disaster being a divine punishment and apologized.
I didn't think he'd get away with that remark for long, but it was still completely inexcusable.

Glad to hear that.
Although…Sai, I don't mean this in a negative way, but if possible could you have that sig link to a charity rather than to this forum? I just think it might be a little more effective that way is all.
@Windrays:Here's something that you all might want to read, that a friend of mine linked me to:

I concur with that last statement.

I know we're trying to not dwell on the crazy peeps so I'll put this under hidden. But apparently the crazy woman in the video was just trollin.
[hide]51gMdlBu53k
So yeah, but she's still a jerk and that was a pretty tasteless joke.
I think what's most disturbing was the fact that a bunch of us probably believed that she was being serious. Methinks there's way too much crazy in the world when we can accept people like her exist.[/hide]

He’s a true hero.What an unbelievable sacrifice. It sadens me when I think about that his story will most likely get lost to the huge scale of the whole incident (EQ, Tsunami, Powerplant etc…)

I stumbled on these examples of photos from before and after…
http://www.abc.net.au/news/events/japan-quake-2011/beforeafter.htm
I fear the deathtole will be much, much higher than we've been told so far. And then there's the powerplant looming over the survivors, and the question where the next massive earthquake will strike. I hate to be the doomsday thinker, but after Chili and New Zealand and now Japan…

Your guess is as good as anyones.
Pell survived because he is a Falcon - Stop using him as a bad example.
The Peregrine Falcon reaches faster speeds than any other animal on the planet when performing the stoop,which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds of over 320 km/h (200 mph)

I may be a bit late for this, but that man who sacrificed himself, he's a true hero. He'll be in my prayers for a long time coming.
This is actually the first time in a long time that i've cried.
-
Such selfless sacrifice, i definitely teared up from that.

@metteminne:
that gave me manly tears
may he rest in peace
Same here. Truly a real hero.

That is well and truly tragic.

May God bless the family of that man.
