Japan is right on the edge of a continental plate. This happens from time to time.
*clears throat* That notwithstanding, it's a terrible loss of life. Somehow, though, I was more concerned about Haiti than I am about Japan.

As Shashi stated, Japan is prepared for this.

Haiti... well... they.. honestly they will never be ready for them.

20km evacuation radius now. Also, while most buildings in Japan are earthquake safe after past experiences there are also buildings that are not, for example an University building in Tokyo partly collapsed during a graduation ceremony. A middle school in Iwata was taken by the flood with students still at the school, these students are counted as missing, or worse, dead.

Areas of Miyagi Prefecture was completely annihilated with several thousand people unaccounted for, either missing or dead. You can lose your temper as much as you goddamn want but it won't do jack for these people, so you might as well not respond if something annoys you.

Here's what Miyagi City looks like right now.

Wow, this is horrible.

But as Starlite said, they can prepare, so Haiti was worse, but that doesn't make this less bad.

I've never been there,i have heard tho that the people are nice, and considering their not comunists i dont have anything against them. The losses are terrible what is it now? 200k+ deaths? Its terrible and i pray for them every night.

Hati was worse civilization wise but i think japan has suffered more death and thats what really matters.

(just so people know i would still pray for a country if it was communist im just saying that communism and me dont agree)

You show your education well there, and you also show that you watch the news often. No, the deaths has not reached 200,000, that was the nukes from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The current death count is almost 6000 however with many more missing.

Haiti has most likely suffered more in several ways, that earthquake ravaged the mainland and didn't go in the sea, if that had happened in Japan there could be death tolls in the millions, luckily this did not happen. Also, you're still an idiot for even mentioning that they're not communists that you got nothing against them...

Shashi is a lot more fun to listen to when he isn't pointed at you.
Hm... who does that remind me of?

Well, the earthquake more or less leveled everything, though one of those pictures it looked like a building was there in the after picture, but not the before picture.

I'm really sad that this had to happen. So quickly after the Queensland floods and Christchurch earthquake too, it seems the world is in a state of panic.

However, I find these kind of pictures to be the most disturbing. The fact that this community of lives could just be washed away..
