Vykranth Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 This just awful. This is probably one of the greatest ever recorded earthquake. The video of the tsunami wave sweeping the land is scary. I hope that the international community is already scrambling relief efforts to help the Japanese people. Still, I fear that there will be a lot of casualities.

Biotoxic_hazard_835 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 USGS says it's the seventh strongest earthquake ever recorded. It's perplexing to see how fast and far inland the tsunami water was moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ferson Veteran Posted March 11, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 11, 2011 There are so many major events happening in the world, and it's only three months into 2011. We've already had revolution in the Middle East, a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and I imagine there will be much more still. I know the 2012 stuff is probably a conspiracy and all the rest, but with all this happening at once you have to wonder... It's a shame that Japan was struck by two more catastrophes, but there is little that we can do to stop them from running their course. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBBYJR2005 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 very scary watching it on CNN and my prays go out to the people in Japan. Also guessing the doomsday people will use this and say the end of the world is coming May 11,2011 or Dec 21,2012 and say this is proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have much more sources of information (TV channels, Internet, Facebook, Twitter) so we learn about events much faster than we used to. The last major earthquake in Japan was in 1995 (?) - there was over 6000 casualties. Did you heard about it? Be cause I did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear about it because I wasn't alive at the time. :p Yeah, it has happened before, but being able to find out more about it within minutes of it happening makes it appear more dangerous. While it is dangerous it appears more-so now that we can find out what is happening almost as soon as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you time to do something. I just hope that just after the earthquake enough people have been informed (by SMS, Twitter, Phone, Internet, TV) about possibility of tsunami waves that they had time to do something about it and evacuate in time.

Something happens in Japan, and the entire country knows in minutes - you can bet on it. Out here, in Montana, however, we hear week old stories as "breaking news".
