Hey guys,
Well I have woken up to the news about Japan having what they are describing as a SUPER QUAKE, it really does show when a country is use to quakes when there was alot more damage caused by the tsunami that the quake. This has been the biggest quake in 150 years in Japan and already 32 people have been killed and many more are missing, this is now the 7th biggest ever since record began so we are not talking a small quake here. However if you look at the difference this is actually around the same power as the Chilli quake however I believe that you will see Japan recover alot faster now this is not only because Japan is a more developed country, they also have a amasing rescue team which is world famous and actually went off to assist in New Zealand.
The main worrying part of course is the Nuclear power plant which the coolant system was damaged in the quake, now they have already shut down the plant and have not found any leaks but is always worrying when any nuclear system is damaged. Other things that have happen have been, twenty people were injured when a ceiling came down during a graduation, all mobile phones are down due to damage to the systems, and the quake caused a fire at a oil refinery at Ichihara city in Chiba. Lastly there is a boat with a hundred people that has been pulled away by the Tsunami however their is very little information left on it so hopefully some information will come through soon.
I would just like send my condolences to the people of Japan, and I hope that they find most of those missing people.
Remember if you don't share your opinion do you really have an opinion?

The Death toll has now raised to 44 dead which is not great, and 4 million homes have lost their power.
ReplyDeleteThe only encouraging thing about this, thank goodness for Facebook, Twitter and blogs. Somehow people are getting word out via this way.
ReplyDeleteWe already had one U.S. citizen blogger living in Japan, post about the experience and she's still waiting for her kids to get home via bus from school (its 4 hours later)and still waiting due to crazy traffic, but they were able to call her and let her know.
I'm pretty sure the death toll stands at more than 44, as they showed the waves taking driving cars off highways. There was a ship stuck in a large "whirl pool" and I'm not sure they escaped.
The footage is just horrific, as you're watching someone's loved one being swept away to their death. So sad.
