Yes,

A bad day for many. I hope they recover from this soon.

There was a alert to your country too, isn’t it yanto? How is everything there?

Hello everyone,

Thanks to my god and all of you, I’m alive.

I heard this tsunami also attacks Hawaii, California and some other countries. I hope all people affected to this earthquake / tsunami survive too.

Hi NON,
I just heard that there was an explosion (reactor block) in Fukushima…!! :frowning:
Be sure to get some iodine tablets…!
All the best to you and the people in Japan…!!!

Some devastating pictures

Sad to hear that things aren’t getting better but still declining.
A nuclear disaster isn’t something any one needs to go through. :cry:

The most disturbing news:
Blast destroys part of Japan nuclear plant
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/03/12/earthquake-japan-nuclear-explosion.html

According to the announcement from government just now, the core is still unharmed though there is some sign of meltdown.
Now they’re trying to cool it with sea water and radiation level seems decreasing.

I’m on Sendai, Miyagi, but fortunately tsunami didn’t reach to my block and electricity and water supply is back now.
I can see some near-coast cities are nearly disappear… :‘( :’( :cry:

Please don’t believe this…!! :frowning:
I’ve contacts to IAEA in Vienna, they see the situation much more critical…!!!
Please get those iodine tablets for you and your family…!!!

Earthquake, tsunami, and a possible nuclear disaster. What an overwhelming feeling. I hope the international community throws as much money and people at this as possible to help these folks out.

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Then there must be some kind of news blackout…
AFAIK no Japanese TV station aired the plant explosion movie, I only see it on the Internet. We can see some pictures after explosion though.

Currently, evacuation radius is enlarged to 20km and some cesium was detected in the plant site.
Fortunately there is 100km intervals between plant and here, but seems we should have extreme caution. :frowning:

Now here is nearly AM 2:00. I hope this will not become worse more…

my condolences to japan and its people and wish you this disaster to be as less horrible as it can be…lets hope the number of dead people will stop rising soon…well here the news say that the explosion of the nuclear plant is much lower in danger level than in tsernobil or pensylvania…though some radiation has been leaked but now seems to be decreasing and has been detected in 3 people who were tested in a hospital…also according to what japanese president said(at least thats what they said in the news here) the radiation level near the nuclear plant is in the highest approved level…

Non take care you and your family and use any precaution for the radiation as you never know whats the truth about that and it doesnt worth the risk

Sorry, that I have to tell you that 100km is way too close to be safe. :frowning:
If you have the possibility, go away there asap…!!
If not, get/take those tablets, keep everything closed as good as you can and watch the weather report…!!
Good luck, :-

Hope people get together to help.
My condolences to the victims families.
May God comfort you in such tragedy.

I really hope that is an overreaction.

I haven’t heard any reliable information so far to be able to judge, but it is at least beginning to sound more like any release is essentially over. Lets all hope so.

My sympathy goes to all those affected.

My condolences to Japan as well… I can’t even imagine what this must be like for them… truly horrifying. God bless the survivors and responders to deal as well as possible in very difficult circumstances.

As far as the U.S. goes, 2 people were washed out to sea and not rescued because they stupidly put themselves in harm’s way; there was a lot of damage to a few harbors on the west coast… but we’re talking nits compared to the monstrous tragedy in Japan… that doesn’t stop the U.S. major news orgs totally focusing on “what if” scenarios for the U.S. populations and censoring the news from Japan. Much more accurate news on the internet and it is truly horrifying.

the government there might be attempting to avoid a general panic, and that’s understandable. But still this is not Russia in the 80’s… Japan is a democracy and from what I read the authorities are doing their best to help and protect. This said yes, the nuclear situation is absolutely critical, this has been unfortunately confirmed by several analysts on most major channels, CNN, Reuters etc…

Honestly, I hope that, too…!!! But from what I know, it isn’t. :frowning:

Censoring…??? Why…??? :o
Btw, it seems Japan is also censoring. :frowning:

lol there’s no censorship, especially on US channels ::)… why would they censor anything from Japan, and what would they censor… take a look at CNN “iReport” web site or Citizen tube, these sites are full of raw videos coming over from anywhere in the world, videos that will be published or not, but will remain accessible in any case.

This said there’s little - public - info from Japan itself on the actual nuclear situation. But this doesn’t stop them, the Japanese, to already collaborate very closely with the US - yes right now - in order to avoid a disaster. The US has already sent stuff to cool the reactors, or at least attempt to. And once again there’s no need to pour oil and stigmatize the US (or Japan) by inventing stories ::slight_smile:

Look at Google’s Resources related to the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
http://www.google.com/crisisresponse/japanquake2011.html

Headline on CNN:
Japan races to tame nuclear plant, find survivors
Report: Half of town is missing

http://www.cnn.com
Japan struggles with nuclear reactors in wake of quake
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/12/japan.nuclear/index.html?hpt=T1 <== videos

The Japan Meteorological Agency corrected the scale of the earthquake: Magnitude 8.8 to 9.0.
And the agency also predicted that aftershock which is over magnitude 7 would happen at 70% possibility.

Another meltdown possibility at Fukushima Daiichi plant No.3 reactor, and trying to cool it now.

Got worse… :‘( :’( :cry:
