Tokyo has been built with this sort of thing in mind. The coverage from the coastal area is unbelievable. 8.9 is a huge quake and this one seems to have been fairly shallow in the crust.

The tsunami is reportedly hitting 500-600mph. Astonishing. I'd be worried if I was somehwere like Vanuatu or Hawaii.

Mother Nature is amazingly powerful, events like this should remind us of that

Boats and containers just being swept away.

Those people in cars on the bridges.... No chance

i thought it was somewhat toned down

although i did see a massive wave sweep away 20-30 vans :shock:
thats some perspective

but as said, they are probably the most earthquake proof country
very, very clever race especially in this field


just seen shop workers holding up shelves - why bother, make sure your safe.

when i watched a program on the bulding of taipei 101 i realised how earth quake proof they are trying to be
absolutely amazing architecture
im sure now they will be reaping the benefits of their efforts so to speak (not that its a good thing, just that the tech will prove itself now)

hopefully it will all be over soon with minimal lives taken

Lets hope the Pacific Islands get evacuated as they predict they could be wiped out :cry:

The nuclear power plant situation is slightly worrying.
