Yeah..
It won't let me log into Youtube for some reason. Is this about the tsunami?
They had like a 8.9 earthquake, which is supposedly the highest ever seen. (at least that's what the tv says)

The highest ever seen was in Chile in 1960, which came out to be a 9.5. Last year's was a 8.8, being the fifth worse recorded since 1900. I don't know if they've come up with the official estimate on the size of the Japan earthquake just yet, but it's bad, really effing bad.
They thought it was a 7.9 at first and changed it to an 8.9(last I heard).
But like I said, that's just what the fool on the news said, lol.
I don't like the comment by the second highest rated comment on that video, it's pretty rude. :-\
I hope most of what wasn't washed into the water can be salvaged if it's still on land.

Thumbed that up. lol
edit: my thumb made yours a highest rated comment.
What the hell is wrong with some of these people that write these comments, there human beings just like us, they act like there not people.
I pray for the people in japan to get out of this situation uninjured.
Also i thumbed up your comment Scotty.
Off topic:
Scotty if you can get on the minecraft server quick i have to show you something.
Yea, i was listening to this this morning. They were talking to people on the pacific coast of the US. The tsunami was big enough to have an effect over here. Not very much of one but still. They said it's like switching between very high and very low tide within minutes.
Definitely doesn't sound good...
Apparently Hawaii, and our west coast was getting a bit of flooding
Yea, I heard that later on. What I had heard was earlier in the morning.
I saw some video while out at sushi last night. It's horrifying...
Today they found out that Japan's main island, the bigger one, took a great impact and moved 8 FEET to the east.

Honestly, I'm a douche when it comes to people dying that are not close to me. I don't care. All it means for me is that the 6 billion population will drop and the earth will sustain us longer. This is the same reason I don't donate to Africa and such charities, they die, we live. I'm am an emotionless bastard who is selfish and greedy. ^_^

It's terrible how some of the areas turned out after the tsunami.. Interesting though how some of the buildings manage to look barely altered even though the houses around them are completely demolished.. Ishinomaki didn't look too terrible though atleast. :(

The Natori after picture looks like smoke, otherwise it's a coincidentally shaped cloud that goes from bigger to smaller. lol.
The first 2 images look like the smoke is coming up off the ground. The rest I cant tell.
One of them is smoke, you can base a rising motion based on the dispersement, size and shape of the smoke.
Perhaps smoke from the nuclear power plant?
I loved Japan, best country I have visted.
I heard that their were major posabilities of nucula meltdowns in the near future due to the earthquake and tsunami.

Thats whats being said. Their nuclear cooling facilities were annihilated and they are scrambling to find a way to cool down the reactors.
Just heard on the radio that there is a team of about 30 Japanese men risking their lives to try and handle the situation. They will most likely suffer large dosages of radiation in the process.
And then the era of floating houses begins...

Something much like this is suppose to happen soon in Vancouver. We're suppose to get around a 9.2 and they say the damage would be just as bad, if not greater, then that of Japans. It's due to a plate underneath that is stuck and gaining tention, as soon as the plate moves, it'll be a complete apocalypse in Vancouvers mainland - or so they say. We are expecting it to happen soon though...

Wait, you live in Vancouver? Come visit me! xD The plate you are referring to is the Juan De Fuca plate. It has had no movement in many years and has been building up tension like crazy. The have estimated Vancouver Island will no longer exist and the half of Vancouver closest to the ocean will be gone. Its quite substantial damage. I'm glad I myself moved from the Vancouver area many many years ago. I now live up in the mountains (Kamloops) where the only disaster we have are forest fires, but they can't actually reach the city. xD
Heh, lucky you. I must be thankful for not living on the island (I live in the city), though. Unfortunitly I have family there. :(
I can't imagine what some of the citizens in Japan are going through, having to loose their homes and loved ones..
I hear that all of these quakes are due to the Ring of Fire's cycle. Apparently, the next big quake is going to hit California pretty soon D:

The next big quake is always going to hit California soon. They have been saying that for like 30+ years.

Hey! Did I mention that something like this will never happen to Germany? ;)
Duh. If you don't live near fault lines, obviously nothing like this will ever happen to you...
Basically if you live on the coast along the pacific, you're always due for an earthquake... lol.

Of-course, how could we not have seen it coming?!.. That would've definitely been the only logical explanation for the earthquake that hit Japan...
It's amazing how insensitive people are to the situation. Come on, PEOPLE'S HOMES, wiped off the map. Innocent people who work everyday to put food on the table for their families, DEAD. If that's funny to you, I don't know what's wrong with you. I hear godzilla jokes and all this stupid silly crap running around in school. Regardless of ethnicity, we're all people. It doesn't take much effort to give some respect.

Now who said it was funny? I just said I don't care. Other than for those 50 men who went into the reactor to keep Japan safe. If I was part of the Canadian Army I would propose a salute to them or whatever it is the army calls it. >.>

I wouldn't say anyone was being insensitive, and nobody ever said that this situation was funny. It's quite natural that people don't often show emotion to the death of strangers because humans don't have the mental capacity to do so. If we did, everyone would be so depressed.
i wasn't pointing any fingers. I was talking about people in general. It's understandable to not show emotion, but making jokes about it is just being a dick.

lolwut. That has nothing to do with earthquakes/tsunamis/meltdowns.
I think sometimes people make jokes about Japan is because it's a defense mechanism to make the blow less dramatic or painful, and then again, maybe some people really are just dicks.
When you see footage of people calling out to family members, or of people and cars being swept away by the huge flow of water, it's hard for me not to feel for them, just imagine if that was your town, your friends, your family, your loved ones who might never be found again. All the bodies unable to be recovered. It's shocking and disturbing to me, and because i don't live in a place where there's earthquakes/tsunamis, I can never really imagine what they're going through. Even tornadoes here never kill that many people or do that much destruction.

Sadly, that's quite true. Every time some catastrophic event occurs lately, I see it more often become a target of crude humor than a tragic occurrence.
Japan was just hit again with a earthquake today (couple hours ago). There is a warning for another tsunami. Mother nature is kicking them while they're down. :(

My dad just went to Japan recently. I pray that they will make a good recovery. :(
