Japan - Earthquake/Tsunami

[Karl]

Surprised to see nobody has mentioned this yet. Very bad state over in Japan at the moment, with warnings out for most the Pacific islands.

insane that 3 quakes hitting so near and close together

 

[toni_133]

Dont all these places that have had earthquakes lie on the ring of fire, which is 3 plates all touching, so not surprised that further activity has happened since nz earthquake.

 

[toni_133]

this is what i`m on about

 

[Daveyb133]

when things like this happen, makes you realise your lucky to live where we do

yeah, when i saw this morning i couldnt believe it, nature can destroy so many lives, people homes getting sweeped away just like dust!! I thought a bit of snow was annoying when i woke up, but some people wont even wake up :/

they are on hot spots but within 2 months having massive quakes is worrying. heres hoping they dont have any more

 

[toni_133]

hopefully all the energy under the plates has now escaped and it will die down now :?

we hope!!!

most alarming report ive seen is one out of the 5 nuclear plants cooling has failed whilst the others were shot down.

 

[toni_133]

I read that, its very scary that a island that small has so many nuclear plants and one unable to be cooled, scary thoughts

god help them all if its another Chernobyl disaster. wishes go out to them and hope they can get that sorted and recover quickly

 

[iamstuart]

This is terrible, the first I have herd about it from here.

 

[Anonymous]

news said they got 4 to shut down but one had a failure with its cooling and cant be shut until its sorted

2 huge earthqaukes in the Pacific region in as many months..., mother nature has shown her brutal, ugly side.

I was watching the live shots of the tsunami as it hit land, I've never seen live pictures like that before, ever. Stunning devastation on an epic scale, it honestly looked like a movie.

Thoughts go out to the whole region, New Zealand and now Japan.

Jebus..., one of the nuclear power plants has gone boom boom bye bye :shock:
