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. | ||

almost all trains here have been stopped for the rest of the day. public buses are still running but there's TONS of people waiting in line to get one to, to try to get near their own home. apparently taxis are getting taxed as well. highways are shutdown also. | ||

Modern reactors are completely contained, there may be deaths within the facility and the facility may have to be permanently lost, but the likelihood of radiation escaping is very low. | ||

Some cooling systems for nuclear plants failed to start up. I think it might have something to do that. At first they were saying it should be fine. | ||

Yes, of course I will just not listen to it, but it's shocking CNN is considered one of the best news stations. | ||

We had a Japanese foreign exchange student, she's in the states right now though she had family in Kasaoka-shi, Okayama. Is that North or South, in or out of danger etc.? Okayama's coastal, but it's more towards the south, and it's protected by the Shikoku islands. There's a middle schooler in neighboring Hiroshima casting NHK on ustream.tv via his iPhone, so I'm pretty sure Okayama's safe. | ||

It's really eerie. A whole town of 77k people, just wiped off the face of Japan in such a short time. | ||

(which this pretty much says a worse situation, as Magnitude 8.0 is refering to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Japan_Meteorological_Agency_seismic_intensity_scale, which means 8.0 in this case would be like the Richer scale's 10+ I'd assume), so this is pretty dang scary thinking/remembering that anime and also looking at this >< EDIT: apparently this one was like 7.0 (max) or so in the JMA scale? | ||
