this happened w/ the indo quake/tsunami back in 2004 as well:
earth's axis shifted |
I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I finding this extremely difficult to believe, purely due to Newton's Third Law of motion. |

There was only a brief mention of this on CNN.
I wouldn't be surprised if it escalates into a Chernobyl.:( |

It might be changed to 160 :eyespop:
Also I read if any, and all radiation does get dispersed, it would be all over the Pacific. They didn't say in which direction :/ |

| Those 160 must be firefighters/engineers working in the plant... |

I checked the Chernobyl reactor that went kaboom was | quote: | | running at a low power, between >700 MW & 800 MW |
, while the damaged reactor in Japan is 460 MW. What is interesting they were planing to build two more reactors before the end of the decade.

I really hope you are able to make contact. Internet seems to be working well still, at least out of the effected areas. My brother can still receive emails on his phone too, and he is on Softbank. |
I've kept my Softbank mobile with me, and I've received a few phonecalls / messages on it, but because it's running on an overseas provider, the service Softbank users in Japan are getting is probably completely different.
Keeping everything crossed for everyone out there. |
