Japan Declares Nuclear Emergency after massive quake.

[Mr I]

its sad that people have died.

at the same time its such an impressive thing to see

the tsunami has moved 10km inland now!

what bugs me is all these so called experts getting their 15 minutes of fame and glory but why didn't they predict it and save lives with all the money that is spent on them and their equipment

A second estimated 6.6-magnitude earthquake has just struck North japan.

Scary shit!

Scary shit!

Imagine a Chernobyl on top of 2 massive earth quakes and a Tsunami.

This has the potential to be more devastating to Japan then the Atom bombs dropped on them during WW2.

You know what's next right?

The Apocalypse?

the japanese are a hearty bunch and i think they are as prepared as well as any one could be and maybe not in the magnitude as we are seeing and they are going thru..those cats will be okay and they will learn from this (ie katrina in new orleans for us).

katrina is almost nothing at all compared to what is going on in Japan right now.

The radiation is completely contained within the buildings.

The radiation is completely contained within the buildings.

Not a reported fact. Latest report I heard is they are getting ready to release radioactive steam to release heat and pressure to help avoid catastrophic failure.

Fuckin crazy. I've been watching Al Jazeera and they keep going back and forth between whats been going on in Libya and Japan. Different parts of Saudia Arabia are now in protest because of Bahrain's protests.

[Mr I]

watching it now, experts are saying its completely contained

Chernobyl was completely contained until it blew its fucken lid.

Ona serious note, I wonder how much this is going to cost us?

That was my first thought when I heard. Beyond the markets shifting, suddenly everyone is going to feel like helping for a day and our own will continue to fall. :disagree:
