Thread is about the various issues surrounding Japan in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. Don't bring the shit side of the internet to the thread, and post with the realization that this thread is very important, and very real, to your fellow members. Do not post speculative and unconfirmed news you saw on TV or anywhere else. Generally the more dramatic it sounds the less likely it's true. | ||

I am positive buildings have collapsed, there are reports of that already but I think the primary concern is are the tsunamis following the offshore quake. It probably also helps that Japan is a nation that often suffered from earthquakes, so their buildings are all built up with the expectation that an earthquake may occur anytime. | ||

People on the highways right near it, people's homes/farmland being destroyed. Its fucking horrible. :\ The worst part of it is that the area affected by the tsunami will be devastated for a long time after the worst part passes. After all the rubble and debris and sludge is cleared, the saltwater from the ocean will render the farmland useless. This is really a terrible event. I dearly hope that the world is willing to help Japan rebuild. | ||

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Japan. Yeah... heartbreaking is almost an understatement. Its hard to watch this shit... I can't even imagine watching that out of my car or even bedroom window. I feel awful for the people stuck in this, I hope for the best. I'm getting really annoyed with the anchors on CNN, well there's one that keeps saying "Japan is used to earthquakes" as if there's nothing to worry about, its no big deal. Saying these are "amazing pictures" is also just ridiculous. I don't know why what they're saying is bothering me so much... but I can barely watch this, its almost too much. | ||
