An earthquake of 8.9 magnitude (seventh most powerful earthquake ever recorded) struck northern Japan at 5:46 AM. It triggered a massive tsunami with waves as large as 10.6 meters. 288 people are dead and 398 people are missing. Over 100 000 people are being evacuated from northern Japan and at least a dozen countries are on alert. Some people say it will reach Hawaii and maybe even Los Angeles (that's a longshot). There have been 76 aftershocks and 16 are above 6.0. The tsunami has caused at least 2-50 landslides and the water is just wiping out people's homes.

I don't think Japan will recover from this in at least ten years. What do you think? Some people say a "supermoon" caused this, like it caused the 2005 Indonesian Tsunami. What are your thoughts on this?

Fox News says a lot of things, don't listen to them


Fox News told me about an Earthquake in Japan. All of you guys must watch Fox News as well, because we're all discussing an apparent un-truth.

Its looking like the Nuckear Power Plant will have a partial melt down. Not to mention that the Tokyo Stock Exchange is about to crash. So all of our tech imported from Japan is gonna go up, and most likely are stock will go down.

Fox News said europeans are blaming it on globa warming. Is that not the most biggest load of BS you have ever heard. I think it as a pacific fault. I mean japan is an archipelago on a fault line. This was bound to happen someday. Pray for them.

Is this the article we're talking about?

If that's the article, let me point out that the finger isn't being pointed towards all Europeans. Second, don't assume every article on Fox is wrong, you have to look at who wrote the article.

and if any atheist says this was God's fault, they are wrong. its satan's fault. King of the fallen world. anyways i will continue to pray for them...


So God was unable to stop Satan? Or did God simply choose not to?

Anyway, an atheist has to believe in God before he can blame God. It's equally as pointless to tell an atheist that it was Satan.

I don't intend to say it was God's fault. I am saying that it was the fault of the currents in the magma under the plates that is causing the plates to move around and bump into each other, causing earthquakes. And I can't really blame something on someone who I do not believe in. It would be like blaming your imaginary friend.

Sly Fox, Sly fox, trapped in the idiot box. Be careful what you take note of when it is coming from a major news publication!

That nuclear fallout map looks funky.

Do the ocean currents really roll like that?

Japan is used to earthquakes. They have small quakes all the time, but never this big. But on TV, i haven't seen anyone panicing.

USA are not the only one helping Japan.. also, a lot of things were expected, and it seems it is worse than a lot would have thought, especially all nuclear power agencies who first said there was no problem at all. But they all say that because a catastrophe will hurt their business so they play it down.
