I think the Japanese dealt with this well. They had good evacuation and contingency plans. However, I am worried about the nuclear plants suffering a meltdown. Both reactors 1 & 3 had an explosion already, but the government says its just a hydrogen explosion. For the sake of the Japanese, I hope they are not lying :/
Omg. I just came back from Tibet on a trip and heard about this in the airport. This is devestating... It's like watching the real movie of 2012 live on TV... Damn guys. Pray for them, I hope the army there can save as many citizens possible. Also pray for Hawaii and Taiwan that might have an aftershock of waves.
Maybe it seems taboo to be saying this but it seems not to be as bad as I thought it would be, not as bad as the 2004 one anyway...
Japan is well-prepared and equipped for earthquakes - I think the EQ didn't take as much lives (like Haiti). There will be a lot of damaged property, but I hope casualties don't go up to thousands.
I feel news sites are sensationalizing this a bit, yes, boats on bridges look concerning but I'd rather make sure the people are safe.
I hope that people are alright in Japan and that things don't get too out of control. Apparently Australia (NT) was meant to feel the after-effect a few hours later; but I'm not exactly sure how that panned out.
