Quake/Tsunami

OMG Hawaii's about to get hit, parts of Japan just got covered, footage of cars trying to drive away from the wave. this is horrible.

The images are incredible and scary, BBC just showed a whirlpool in the ocean near Japan and a small boat trapped on the rim -very Pirates of the Carribeanish and very very scary

...and a nuclear power plant on fire

eta I'm hearing about the plant on fire, but no images. I see footage of one they're worried about because there's no power to cool the reactors

The video footage is amazing.

I wonder about Hawaii, everyone there is fast asleep. I wonder what sort of warning systems they have to wake everyone up and get them away from the water?

They says they've been evacuating for hours, but Honolulu is so low and so packed.....

from the BBC

1332: Between 200 and 300 bodies have been found on a beach near Sendai, the semi-official Jiji Press news agency is reporting.

OMG.

This is another freak thing....

Sendai area got really hard hit.

We got one email from our office on the 33rd floor of a building in Tokyo. Phones are out, but email works. The building shook a lot, but everyone in the office is fine.

They are about 250 miles from the epicenter.

That whirlpool is crazy. Guess we'll know very soon how badly Hawaii was hit. And the Nuclear power plant situation..... The whirlpool needs to be IOTD.

Shawnee123 · 03-11-2011, 08:25 AM

Horrible devastation. I can't even imagine it, even seeing footage.

glatt · 03-11-2011, 08:31 AM

You would think the tsunami would put out the fires.

Spexxvet · 03-11-2011, 08:34 AM

The cars and buildings being swept away like kids' toys at the beach.

Water won't do much for petroleum or natural gas based fires.

There are problems with pressure in the core of that nuclear reactor ... I thought there were supposed to be manual back-ups to shut down those things?
