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 curious about that - the US Navy isn't exactly a volunteer operation, I don't think there's any room to "refuse" your orders. Sorry, I don't know of any website. It's just what they reported on the CNN channel on TV. They could be mistaken, and making me look like an idiot, but it's what they reported. | ||

The close location from earthquake sink under water because of Tsunami... At tokyo, voice function of all celler phones was dead, but internet access was alive. Japanese could ave communication via email or twitter. We have the biggest e-Sports Starcraft2 event tomorrow, and I would have added commentary on the streaming. I am not sure how it would go, I am very sorry about this earthquake. It would be really scary to have all the phones go down. Best wishes, I hope everything can return to normal as quickly as possible. | ||

Japan has much better infrastructure for dealing with this sort of disaster (obviously). Huge fucking tragedy though.  | ||

"Asian markets, which were lower before the tsunami hit, ended the session sharply lower. The Shanghai Composite sank 0.8%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong declined 1.5% and Japan's Nikkei tumbled 1.7%." I'm hoping that the fact the Nikkei index didn't completely implode is a good sign that the worst fears aren't true. | ||

I doubt it will as bad as Haiti. Someone said it before, but Japanese buildings are way more durable and earthquake-ready than those of poor-stricken Haitian buildings. | ||

The 60 is probably just the amount of bodies that have been recovered. It is night now in Japan and I imagine it is impossible for emergency services to enter the areas that were affected the most. So I fear that any current estimate of the deathtoll is grossly understating the magnitude of this disaster. | ||
