8.8 Magnitude Earthquake hit Japan

I don't think they had a whole lot of time to react. I heard it was only about 80 miles off the coast.

I thought Japan was famous for their foot speed?

16 dead so far.

999,984 to go.

"1356: Japanese police have now confirmed that between 200 and 300 bodies have been found on the beach near Sendai, the closest city to the epicentre. NHK television said the victims appeared to have drowned. Earlier, police said at least 60 people had been killed and 56 were missing.."

You are killing me over here..

Good luck to everyone over there.

I wonder which countries will step in and help. I would like to see what the Chinese do.

Obama has already pledged to help Japan. That's the fastest I've ever seen him react to international happenings.

Ancient civilizations predicted the world to end with the cheeriest all of earthquakes.

Can't wait for people to go crazy and sell stuff for super cheap.

Man this is crazy I wish I wasn't at work so i could see some of the coverage on this, I am always amazed by the destruction. Hopefully too many people weren't killed.

Maybe they carpooled?

Could be.


There is [was?] a passenger train that was hit by the wave and is now completely missing.

Is there a wall it is crashing over or just that high?
