QuoteTOKYO -- Japan was struck by a magnitude-8.89 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday, triggering a 13-foot (4-meter) tsunami that washed away cars and tore away buildings along the coast near the epicenter.

In various locations along Japan's coast, TV footage showed severe flooding, with dozens of cars, boats and even buildings being carried along by waters. A large ship swept away by the tsunami rammed directly into a breakwater in Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture, according to footage on public broadcaster NHK.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

Friends of mine in Tokyo are safe, but they say that there a still a few aftershocks, which is freaking them out.

As of 3:49am Eastern time there have been a total of 18 aftershocks...some as high as 7.5. 

Sending positive thoughts to everyone in the pathway of the Tsunami.  I hope the loss of life is at a minimum.

Pent, what you want is a "tidal back wave" aka a Tidal Bore, water traveling upriver at the height of high tide.

QuoteLieutenant Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Jack" Churchill, DSO & Bar, MC & Bar (16 September 1906 – 8 March 1996), nicknamed "Fighting Jack Churchill" and "Mad Jack", was an English soldier who fought throughout World War II armed with a longbow, arrows, and a claymore (sword). He once said "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed."

One of their nuke plants had a shutdown of the cooling system about an hour ago, and it looks like they're not having any luck getting it fixed. 

Quotean administrator at the Tohoku Electric Power Co's Onagawa facility said the process for the cooling reactor is "not going as planned," adding that "nuclear emergency situation" has been declared.

You gotta wonder what kind of mentality builds a nuclear reactor on a fault line. Actually, scratch that, I don't gotta wonder, it was people did it, right?

I hope Belgium is okay.

Anyway, that reactor thing.  I thought they used pebble bed reactors there?
