TV Tokyo has a reputation for having highly inappropriate or strangely apposite images onscreen when they put a newsflash up. It isn't company policy: it is purely a matter of chance depending on the programming at the time. Here are the shots from the channels that accompanied the Kanazawa earthquake news. TV. Tokyo is bottom right.

1 Dead, 110 Hurt in Japan Quake..
http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/03/25/quake.japan.ap/index.html

A powerful, deadly earthquake struck Japan early Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring 110 others as it violently shook buildings and triggered a small tsunami that hit the coast, officials and media reports said.

The magnitude-7.1 quake struck at 9:42 a.m. local time off the north coast of Ishikawa prefecture (state), Japan's Meteorological Agency said, about 225 miles northwest of Tokyo. The agency issued a tsunami warning urging people near the sea to move to higher land.

A small tsunami measuring 6 inches hit shore about 40 minutes after the quake, the agency said. The warning was lifted about an hour later.

At least one person was killed and 80 others injured along the country's Sea of Japan coast, media reports said...

Shikoku... I wonder where on Shikoku? It's not exactly a tiny island.

Okay, a bit more in Japanese here now:

Looks like it was in Ehime but was felt strongly throughout Shikoku as well as in Okayama and Hiroshima.

Ehime? Where the hell is that?;)

Was a 4 up in Imabari where I started the morning teaching. I was just in the process of waking up some somnolent students. Earthquakes can be the teachers best friend.

My girl is in Shikoku working at the moment - she said it was pretty strong. 5.4 according to tenki.jp.

Anyone ever come across one of these? Apparently a map of how to walk home after an earthquake.

6 in Niigata. NHk seem slightly disappointed that they don't have any footage of buildings falling over. I'm twenty floors up in Tokyo where it was about a 3 and we seemed to be swaying for about half a minute.

There appear to be clouds of black smoke pouring out of a nuclear power facility in the area struck by the quake. No fire brigade at the scene as yet!!!!!!

EDIT:
The fire seems to be at an oil storage tank,

by **samuraiwig** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 12:10 pm

BBC's identified it as a nuclear plant. And still no sign of any fire extinguishers...

by **Oradea** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 12:56 pm

Thank christ i live in nagoya, not a peep here.

by **samuraiwig** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:52 pm

Another shaker. About a 5 in Niigata this time.

Nothing happens at nuclear power plant after huge quake

AP Press http://www.idiotsinjapan.com, July 16th, 2007.

Black smoke is seen not spewing
from an electricity transformer at
Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s
Kashiwazaki-Kariwa No.3 nuclear
power generation unit in Kashiwazaki,

Four reactors at a nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture did not automatically shut down and a power transformer did not catch fire immediately after a powerful earthquake jolted the area on Monday, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) officials said. "The two events are not related" said an official. "In fact, one of the events didn't happen at all."

The fire did not break out in the transformer that supplies electricity to the facility. TEPCO officials said no radiation leaked from the reactors. "Nothing happened. My cock? You say it is glowing? I was born with a glowing cock. The black smoke spewing from an electricity transformer in the picture above? It is from tobacco. I stepped outside for smoko this morning. I am Marlboro man. No more questions, cockface."

"Nothing happened."

Confirmed: Radioactive water leaked from the power plant. As usual, no other details except the standard official statement that there is no risk to the public. (BBC)

I guess some damage is inevitable after an earthquake, but you'd have thought somebody would have learned something about PR after Tokaimura, the Kobe train crash, etc, etc. Then again, in other countries citizen groups would have pushed for better safety and faster (perhaps even accurate) information.

A pretty big one just happened now in the Chiba area.
