Protip: If you're going to make a news thread, let us know about, well...the news.

Two ways of doing this is to actually go into detail about what is going on, and/or most preferably post a link.

Yeah but it's Japan. That's like business as usual for them. Which from my understanding of Japan is still pretty strange by North American standards.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. As far as I know, there has not been a news breaking earthquake. Any mention of Japan the last couple of days has been about the Women's World Cup

Serious truth,

It took a day for sink in how bad the earthquake disaster was, because when I watched early reports (on OT) I was like ahh another quake.

Then when it it the the major news stations :|

I stayed up late watching Al Jezera report it as it happened. They interviewed an English teacher who said that in all their years of teaching there they had never seen their students actually react to an earthquake. Instantly gave me huge respect for the infrastructure there and let me know that things were going to be FUBAR.

They live in an earthquake zone. The infrastructure in Japan is stable so that earthquakes don't really affect it. It's only real worries is tsunamis.

Hmm, there hasn't been anything going on in Japan that's considered abnormal. On the Japanese news, they interrupt the news weekly to inform people about an earthquake, but they always say that no tsunami is expected and just 'be careful'.

They've had earthquakes throughout history, this really isn't anything new. Think about it this way. The black death never reached Japan, neither did the Mongols - meanwhile their neighbour China's population halved because of the combination of the two. They've had some pretty freaking lucky breaks in the past.
