Been watching for a while, and the 88k number hasn't been mentioned again. Hopefully somebody misread something

Japan is a very highly condensed area. It could happen.

they mentioned 88k missing on NPR during my ride to work today

did hawaii get hit or anything crazy?

7 foot wave which went inland 100 feet so nothing major

what i am more worried about is the effected nuclear plants. i really hope they can cool those ****ers.

This is all bull****.

It's just viral marketing for the new Godzilla movie.

I'm pretty sure a nuclear power plant in japan would be built to withstand a strong earthquake.

Edit: Withstand as in not release any radioactive material.

Just read that the USAF delivered some coolant to one of the plants.

best post disaster pics youll see anywhere

At least 137 people were killed, 539 were injured and 351 were missing after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on Friday, according to the Kyodo News Agency, citing police. Additionally, between 200 and 300 bodies have been found in the coastal city of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture following the subsequent tsunami that struck that area. The death toll is likely to rise as there are few casualty counts yet from the worst-hit areas.

unreal pics, pretty cool, even more cool to think that even with that, these people were prepared for something like this happening and will be back to normal within days.

And nobody suspects the true culprits.

live stream from NHK if anyones interested: NHK

did you guys know, LGBR lived in Japan. he knows what he's talking about...

You're kidding yourself

I could believe it. The overall damage from quakes is inversely proportional to the level of development. That's why you can have 200K+ dead from a 7.0 in Haiti but the Japanese shrug off an 8.9.

A country that has robot hookers is also going to have building codes.
