Glad Lira is safe.

Scary stuff with the Nuclear reactor potentially going up in flames too.

I saw on the news that the cooling system failed in one of the reactors, if that was the case I'm sure the reactor control rods were completely inserted immediately after. So there should be no risk of an explosion.

But they probably wont say that on the news, as it's not as big a story as a potential nuclear explosion.

Yea, last I heard the nuclear situation was not that dire, they had secured the reactor and there was no threat of radiation leakage.

The american geologists are probably japanese anyway.

Last I heard (Guardian at 5:20GMT) was that the pressure inside the reactor was still rising.

EDIT: Reuters @ 5:47GMT http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/...E72A2NR20110311

There is some crazy amateur video coming out of Japan too. This kid captured the quake from inside his home.

The one thing I will never forget was the earthquake we had here in Hull about 4 years ago. I think it was only 3.6 but the noise was unreal, words can't describe hearing the land resonate like that.

Crazy

Having lived through a number of them I can say there is really nothing else like it, the noise, the shaking, the aftershocks... Its a very helpless feeling since there is no warning and they can occur at anytime, and you stay jumpy for weeks after, the sound of a low flying jet or a big truck driving by... Its a really intense experience.

Our one was so tiny that I don't think there was a noticeable aftershock.

fantastic pics up there...
in the first one the cars and planes look like toys

Our professor in Japanese class today said her family was in Tokyo and luckily ok.

Some of the other professors are still trying to get in touch with their families, but unfortunately communication is really tough at the moment.

Breaking: An estimated 6.6-magnitude earthquake has struck Nagano and Niigata prefectures in Japan, the Kyodo News Service reported. The U.S. Geological Survey says this latest event is a 6.2-magnitude temblor.

Just read that myself

Does anyone know if the small islands in the Pacific have been hit by the tsunami? French Polynesia etc?

I'm quite concerned for them as many wont stand a chance against a 2/3 metre tsunami.

I feel so sad for this.

Feel utterly, utterly heartbroken to see all those places I lived and worked in completely destroyed in seconds. Cannot begin to even feel the grief that I know will come. Just feel completely numb.

this whole thing is epic. the fucking whirpool in the pacific ocean

wow i hadn't seen that yet
whirlpool is ridiculous

It doesn't seem fair that Lira died and Nou survived.

My experience with postings links to a page of images is that some other poster just ends up posting the good images on their own in the thread. In this case, pretty much every image is great. And instead of writing all the HTML for each image, i just did a simple iframe. Because I'm lazy. lol.

It's just a page of pics and comments. If it was a page with an article or something else with images, I would have done it the proper way. But other than loading the images, the rest of the page requires little bandwidth. So it shouldn't really affect the loading times for peopel on here if you aren't on dial-up.

i wasn't suggesting it cuz it slowed my comp down..that wasn't the issue. i just thought they were awesome pictures and a bit too big to be framed like that. to me, they looked better on the page itself. that's it

still no word from Lira ?
