EDIT3: I'm sorry If I freaked out there earlier. My older brother woke me up and told me about this while I was sleeping within the midnight hour. Here is the article.

BBC wrote:
A massive earthquake has hit the north-east of Japan, triggering a tsunami that has caused extensive damage.

Japanese television showed cars, ships and even buildings being swept away by a vast wall of water after the 8.9 magnitude earthquake.

The quake has sparked fires in several areas including Tokyo, and numerous casualties are feared.

It struck about 250 miles (400km) from the capital at a depth of 20 miles. There have been powerful aftershocks.

The tremor at 1446 local time (0546 GMT). Seismologists say it is one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan for many years.

The tsunami warning was extended to the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Pacific coast of Russia and Hawaii.


Tsunami waves hit Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, officials said.

Japan's NHK television showed a massive surge of debris-filled water sweeping away buildings, cars and ships and reaching far inland.

The earthquake also triggered a number of fires, including one at an oil refinery in Ichihara city in Chiba prefecture near Tokyo, engulfing storage tanks.

There were reports of about 20 people injured in Tokyo after the roof of a hall collapsed onto a graduation ceremony.

Bullet train service to northern Japan was halted, rapid transit in Tokyo was suspended and some nuclear power plants automatically shut down.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said there had been no radiation leaks.

In a televised address, he extended his sympathy to the victims of the disaster and said an emergency response headquarters had been set up.

I have some Japanese exchange students coming to my school and I'm not sure If they'll be coming but If they managed to get out in time then they'll be staying in Washington longer than a week. These situations have made me gone mad, and I was just told that 5 more Japanese died

This is apparantly the sixth largest earthquake ever recorded (since records began in 1900), which makes this death toll amazing

Japan gets earthquakes frequently, they're very prepared to handle them.

All of the nuclear plants for example are designed to shut down automatically when there is an earthquake of significant magnitude. Which from what I'm reading has occurred as planned.

I just saw this, yes people died, but they're pretty lucky. Compared to what could happen to people who aren't prepared for this kind of stuff, I mean.

I knew, when i saw that Wizard had posted, that he would correct the title.
And I was surely right.
Obviously, Wizard, he was in a panic. It's not really important, anyway.

Nuclear stuff sucks.
