| Forum Index > General Forum |
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'm pretty sure they're giving it a lot of gas | ||

Edit: Since nobody wants to click on the link, that city / area had a population of 77,000 people and was completely destroyed. We saw some of the pictures earlier on the stream. I'm going to quote myself on that and add a Google maps image of the destroyed region, so that everyone can get a better feel of the scope. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&q=google maps miyagi japan&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Miyagi Prefecture, Japan&gl=us&ll=38.268376,140.872192&spn=0.201623,0.260239&t=h&z=12 Most of what you see on the image is probably gone by now. Especially near the coast and in the urban areas. | ||

Reported deaths are confirmed dead bodies. If you don't have the bodies yet, you can't confirm any deaths. They have their reasons not to issue any speculation about deaths and missing persons yet. | ||
