OH MY GOD. LOOK AT ALL THOSE CARS! GET OUT OF THERE!

[mraynrand]

Honest to God, I think I am going to be sick. I just saw 40 cars get swamped by that tsunami. Every last person in those cars is dead.

[Deputy Nutz]

Lots of people are dead.

[Little Whiskey]

numbers that i saw were 1000's dead.

also, on the radio today they were talking about japan being in debt 200% of GDP but most of that is to local investors, unlike Europe and Greece who owed other countries.

on a personal note A friend's son is a school teacher in Japan. luckily he is safe but has no place to live. crazy shit

first daylight pictures out of japan right now are very ugly. total destruction

there's also reports that that nuke plant is leaking radioactive air already before they wanted to vent the hot air. not good there

Reports are that at least 5 of them are in trouble.

i think 4 of those are ok, they were worried about them and shut them down but they are all right

the other one is having all kinds of problems. theres a leak, and the rods keep getting hotter and they can't get them cooled down

Sounds like it's one plant. The cooling system is failing and that could cause a meltdown, but they haven't gone to their emergency cooling system yet. Things could change.

It's not leaking radiation, per se. They are purposely releasing slightly radioactive vapor to lower the pressure to protect it from a possible meltdown, so the area immediately around the plant has higher levels of radiation.

It's all pretty confusing, but it doesn't appear a disaster is imminent. Now, if they go to the emergency cooling system and that fails, then shit will hit the fan.

Good god, when you read THIS and think to yourself well at least that's good news...that is incredible stuff. My kid and I were sitting here looking at the images on the Post and the AP video. Absolutely horrible.

The only thing that could compound this disaster is to have to watch Kathy Griffin host a Tsunami benefit.

[HarveyWallbangers]

That's insane.

i'm pretty sure i'm shit myself if i saw a bunch of building moving like that

but that is exactly what they are suppose to do in an earthquake, if they didn't, they would have fallen

now we had an explosion at a nuke plant, that can't be good

they just announced that 9,500 people are missing in one of the areas
