Japanese 8.8 Earthquake.
Frenchfry:
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.
LeoReborn:
As Shashi stated, Japan is prepared for this.
Haiti... well... they.. honestly they will never be ready for them.
Wailord:
Japan is increadibly well prepeared. Their Seismic proof buildings are geniously designed.
Shashi:
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.
