Sad to hear.

Sad.... sad that there's people that stupid around. Seriously. They had what... 12+hrs of warning... and still they stayed on the freaking coast. They were the weak link in humanity. Not a big loss.

New earthquakes 6.6 + 6.1 struck Japan again less than an hour ago.

Rueters Flash: Japans trade ministry says the pressure inside the Fukushima nuclear reactor may have risen to 2.1 times the designed capacity

2009: The World Nuclear Association said pressure inside the containment of Reactor 1 at Fukushima-Daichi had been steadily increasing over the time that its emergency core cooling systems had not been active. The Tokyo Electric Power Company reported at 0200 local time (1700 GMT) that pressure had increased beyond reference levels, but was within engineered limits, the WNA added.
2006: Three to four new power supply cars have arrived at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant in north-eastern Japan to provide emergency electricity for the earthquake-damaged cooling system of one reactor, the World Nuclear Association has said. The power cars are being prepared for connection, the WNA said, citing the Japanese ministry of economy, trade and industry. Other power modules are being flown in.

hi is this new, because all throughout the day every few hours we hear this, and then its hushed down and we`re told `yeh we got backups all is good`

I don't own a tv, so I'd like to personally thank all the contributers that have kept me informed.

Appreciate it, folks.

Yes, just received on my Rueters Twitter


When they 'Flash' it's new and breaking information

BBC reporting that 3 power supply cars have arrived @ Fukushima-Daichi to provide electric power to back up cooling systems that were not operating due to flooding of diesel generators.

some good news I hope.

Crescent City, Santa Cruz hit hard by tsunami from Japan quake

A tsunami from the devastating Japan earthquake hit the coast of California on Friday morning, causing significant damage in Crescent City, Santa Cruz and other parts of Northern California. There were no reports of major damage or flooding in Southern California.

4 people were swept away by the tsunami... 1 confirmed dead.... Stupid people on the coast with a tsunami warning... yeah great move there. Darwin strikes again.

AGREED. Just shows you that their are more morons then intellects on the face of the Earth.

Are world is so crazy as it stands from the beginning of man that I seriously doubt if we would even know what being "in balance" is if it ever happened...or who's to say it is not already in balance...chaos...!

I'm going to go ahead and say that I am proud of the US Military for moving to help Japan so quickly, despite that I will probably get flamed and not many on here have good opinions of our mil. The coolant that was flown over there could have prevented a radiation disaster and from what CNN says the entire pacific fleet immediately began moving in to help with rescue and airlift operations.

Good to know that my tax dollars are helping someone.

CNN just reporting

4 Trains now reported missing, they lost contact with control rooms shortly after earthquake.

Will keep posted, watching CNN now.

That's a very nice thing to say, and I agree with you. Thanks to the personnel who busted ass over there to help avoid an even worse tragedy.

SO let me get this straight ! itr is ok for members to make fun of the dead but not ok for members to speculate about other events that
might be connected. unbelivable

ya but to go look at the waves after a tsunami, warning has been in effect for over 10 hours, is moronic.



Which proves my point that THEIR are more morons on the Earth then, intellects, not scholars for the Condo err forum brigade.
