8.9 Quake hits near Northeastern Coast of Japan

[Cry Havoc]

Not nearly an excuse. Not being ready for a Tsunami in that area of the world is pretty ing re ed.

You don't build nuclear reactors on Japan without this very situation in the forefront of your mind. You'd better ing plan for Godzilla.

Totally agreed. I'm surprised too. Those plants are supposed to be able to survive a massive ordinance bombing strike.

I guess I should have said it more like, "WTF is going on with the world? We live in crazy times and I can't believe what I'm hearing and seeing."

My bad

Meh, same world its always been. This is definitely some crazy though.

[Cry Havoc]

"any key? wheres the any key?"

Oh, I know! Vent gas!

[The Reckoning]

Yeah I saw that they flew out generators but I thought you meant technical experts to come in and fix the problem. Yeah, I think you do everything you can with this to help.

well if the americans are flying in equipment, id assume theyd have personnel to supervise installation since it is american equipment.

[MannyIsGod]

Its generic equipment I think. Americans aren't the only ones in the world who have diesel generators we're just the ones who can mobilize it best thanks to our military.

[MannyIsGod]

No but seriously, did they ever vent the gas like they were planning on? I have found conflicting reports.

[Chomag]

Any word on how much Hawaii has been impacted? Most feeds seem just focused on Japan right now.

[MannyIsGod]

Hawaii is totally normal and fine.

[Chomag]

Hawaii is totally normal and fine.

Glad to hear. thanks

[Lonny]

Hawaii is totally normal and fine.

So it is still a meth infected, poverty stricken hole. Nice to know.

Haven't heard/seen anything either way.
Where did you see the conflicting reports?

[MannyIsGod]

Time says they vented some of the gas but I can't find anyone else who says they did it just that they said they may need to in order to relieve building pressure.

[mouse]

ing dangerous situation anyway you slice it, .

be nice.

[MannyIsGod]

you.

[MannyIsGod]

God damn that felt good.

you.

LOL, so now are you going to go a whole month without not insulting everyone? Bas .

id assume any diesel generator built to run a nuclear power plant is anything but generic, but i could be wrong. plus, im sure the US is using this opportunity to boost foreign relations with japan since the japanese have done so much for the americans since WWII.

The US Geological Survey is reporting that the coast of Japan has shifted 8 feet (2.4m) because of the earthquake in Japan. The Earth's axis has reportedly been shifted 10 inches too.

[Chomag]

News is reporting that they are saying the have lost control over the pressure in one of the reactors. Don't know how much truth to that though.

[IronMaxipad]

10 inchesssss

[IronMaxipad]

10.45pm GMT: Now there are reports from nuclear plant operator Tepco that the Fukushima No 2 plant has lost cooling to three of its reactors.

It was one reactor in the Fukushima No 1 plant that had been the cause for concern earlier

So thats why I have a huge headache this morning! J/k I actually do though. I hope that's not true though.

[Chomag]

Ya that nuclear plant is about to explode if these reports are accurate.

The force of the quake was so strong that it moved the island of Honshu 8 feet to the east, said USGS geophysicist Ken Hudnut. It sped up the Earth's rotation by 1.6 microseconds, according to NASA.
