This is terrible! I am amazed at how the people in Japan react to this catastrophy! Imagine this happens elsewhere other than Japan...

R.I.P

I heard that there has been over 1000 deaths.

The death toll may well exceed 10,000 as reported by broadcaster NHK. A number of towns around Fukushima, Japan have been completely wiped out from the map. Besides, two nuclear power plants have already exploded with leaking of radiation to air causing more fears for people elsewhere.
While the situation unfolds, it is impressive to see how the Japanese people react. They are unbelivablly calm. Additionally, can you imagine that the most efficient organization for providing relief to the people affected is the Mafias!

Yeah I read about this, tragic event. Props to the Japanese if they can get through this w/o anarchy.

I know this may come across harsh, but Japan is the best country to deal with such a terrible catastrophe. They are so efficient.

 

[ttomthebomb]

10,000 people dead or so.

They can easily recover from this with their vast technological knowledge.

Is this a bit errie? :huh:
Earthquake in Sichuan China, date: 05 12 2008, scale: 8.
Earth quake in Fukushima Japan: data 03 11 2011, scale: 8.9
If you add the numbers together: 05+12+2008=03+11+2011=2025!
How about December 1, 2012? 12+01+2012=2025!
