Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 A new Tsunami warning has just been given for Japan, and a Japanese volcano erupts again. News reports in Australia was saying that there was a 70% chance of another big quake measuring 7+ to hit Japan withing the next 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 I really do hope that the news reports are wrong, really don't know how much more Japan can take. Thankfully CNN have just said that the Tsunami waring has been cancelled. But the bad news is that they have just found 2,000 bodies, and another explosion at the nuclear plant, but they are conflicting reports. Out of all the horror this is a good news story. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/special-reports/japanese-man-rescured-15km-out-to-sea/story-fn7zkbgs-1226020702646 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted March 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 Found this link on one of my Facebook fans pages. http://www.facebook.com/notes/jun-shiomitsu/japan-quake-as-seen-from-twitter-translated-by-me-so-quality-questionable/10150121176733830 It is of Tweets made by the Japanese after the earthquake. There was one on CNN yesterday that I had to laugh at was the one where the mother said that her young son was putting on his shoes and telling her that he was going to go out and arrest the earthquake.

Members DRW50 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 The most frightening part is the struggles to keep the nuclear plants under control - I think three or four have had explosions and sea water stalling has meant some of the rods were exposed, which will lead to further contamination of the public. There's also some talk about why there is no looting in Japan. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/edwest/100079703/why-is-there-no-looting-in-japan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 I never even thought of that. This must be an east/west thing because here people will loot if their sports team wins a championship. Looters should be shot on sight, not food and water looters, but TV looters and such.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted March 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 ITA Looters that take anything but food and water as long as they don't take it to sell it should be shot on sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 15, 2011 Members Share Posted March 15, 2011 I complain about my life sometimes but this has put everything into perspective. They are telling people to stay in their homes because of nuclear fires and radiation. Japan has been such a proud nation and they just seem to be getting battered again and again and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
