Why Japan?.. Why couldn't this happen to one of the crap nations nobody likes?

On the American Red Cross website you can donate money if you want.

Wow that is so terrible i was watching the news and i could not believe the devastation that they are having to go through, my heart goes out to all the familles that are going through this right now

[QUOTE="Serioussamik"]

[QUOTE="VendettaRed07"] Personally I feel that should not happen to any nation.In all nations,the good people outnumber the bad people,trust me.....so in the end good people suffer more than the nefarious ones in these catatrophic situations.

The one that people are starting to talk about is the New Madrid Fault Zone in the middle of the US. FEMA is already gearing-up big-time for a massive quake that could split the US in 2 and put much of the south-central US under water.

I'll be just as heartless and say "Better not delay my 3DS!"

Getting that out of the way, what is it with all of these major-assed earthquakes these days. It seems like the last decade or so, it's been pummel after pummel.

There has always bean this frequent of earthquakes. We just haven't been as aware because the Media didn't exist.NESfanboi

I don't know when you grew up, but I'm no youngin, and I certainly grew up in an era when the media not only existed, but loudly proclaimed its existence. And I don't remember earthquakes of this size happening constantly, even with that loudly trumpeting media.

You are correct sir. There are more strong to severe earthquakes in populated areas now than before.

check out this wiki link for the richter scale. A magnitude of 8.9 means the energy of the earthquake is more than 7 times the power of the largest thermonuclear weapon EVER tested.

all that whale killings....now the whales are invading Japan.

Karma's a *****.

And if a supervolcano would errupt right now the entire world's civilization would end. Not just North America's.

We could easily fall back hundreds of years in technology for a time.

how would a volacano from way over there in US kill ppl in europ? i live in toronto, canada...am i done for if it does happen?GreatEmpire

He said "super volcano", not just a volcano. Super volcano eruptions are rather major events and affect the globe. An eruption of the super volcano under Yellowstone would affect much more than the United States -- it would be Earth-shattering.

Here you go.

I know it's wiki but it's the best I could find on short notice. This is not fiction though, this is real.

Just read that on Yahoo.

I really hope that these plants don't get any worse...the last thing Japan needs is a Nuclear Plant to fail.

My heart and paryers go out to the people of Japan. I been to Japan two times, and it is a very beautiful country.

The volacano itself may not kill people across the pond; However it isn't just a volacano. I seen people say it could kill 2/3 of the population of the US, and Canada would probably get messed up too. But with the dust could it would of put out the whole world will be in trouble and will probably enter into an ice age.

2310:More from the Tokyo Electric Power Company: It says the ability to control pressure in some of the reactors at Fukushima-Daini has been lost. Pressure is stable inside the reactors, but rising in the containment vessels,

Really not good.

Since 98% of people on Gamespot are Weeabo, this is huge.

Wonder how big the waves in Hawaii will be, if they even get any. I remember last year or the one before there was an earthquake and Hawaii was suppose to get hit and they didn't get anything.SaintLeonidas

I'm on Maui, and we had a decent inland swell. Most of downtown Kahalui was closed this morning, but it's back open now. In Kihei (South shore), the beach roads are still closed. Haven't been down there yet though. Yea, I'm kind of glad I'm up at 4,000 ft.

What idiots.... ". KARMA IS A ****" He must not know what we did to them...

Also, Japan has declared an emergency regarding some nuclear plants because "Radiation rises to 1,000 times the normal level at one plant after an outage caused by Friday's quake"

Scary **** , hope it gets solved safely.

Man that is the scariest **** I've ever seen in my life!
