Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster!!!

[Mock Cockpit]

How populated were the areas they hit though?

If it's Japan and it's flat there's people. Reuters reporting a ship carrying 100 people has been swept away.

[Taro Toporific]

Damn it, there was another aftershock five minutes ago and just now.

Why? I know my way home.. It's just that all the trains are not running.

Worst case, I'll catch a cab home

In our area in Tokyo, as of 2 minutes ago, the local disaster P.A. system speakers are asking everybody urgently to conserve electricity. It sounds like they are doing controlled blackouts in areas of Tokyo and Yokohama now.

I strongly recommend you charge mobile phones while you can.

Yeah good luck with that. You do know you're acting like a gold standard arsehole in this thread, don't you?

[Taro Toporific]

Mrs. Taro and other employees of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (and Bank of Japan for that matter) are ordering bento and pizza and spending the night at in the TSE (& BoJ), which are A-bomb/earthquake proof buildings.

Doh! Sorry, I just remembered someone above reported they had updates there, but not that it was you. (>.<) LOL

If your keitai ever works..

Shinyokohama's keitai service is down but the mail works sometimes.


Mock Cock, fuck you.

Unless you have inside contacts at a taxi company I think it's going to be pretty tough to find an empty cab today.

Thanks for the green snot last week by the way. Die painfully, cunt.

No need for that unless you are stupid enough to wait in line at the station like the rest. I just saw an empty one roll by outside.

I don't know what your fuckin problem is but I can care less. I hope you get buried in rubbles, you worthless piece of shit engrish eikaiwa sensei.

[graline]

Glad to see that you guys seem to be okay, for the most part.

[Taro Toporific]

...the local disaster P.A. system speakers are asking everybody urgently to conserve electricity. It sounds like they are doing controlled blackouts in areas of Tokyo and Yokohama now...

NHK just said the 3.2 million persons in Kanto are without electric power.

[graline]

CNN keeps talking about how "amazing" and "incredible" the tsunami is. I think they need to a)get a thesaurus, and b)learn some tact. I swear it's like they're on a loop.

Whenever they say "tsunami", in your mind replace it with the word "penis".

[Mike Oxlong]

Latest reports put the death toll at 40 59...

"Huhaaa, huhaaa, mum, mum"

This is why I immediately put my Alpine Renault 310 minicar collection in their safe bunker... Well except the 20 that I forgot under me bed... (le sux...)

[FG Lurker]

Hope Yokohammer is doing okay. Best I can figure he's about 5km from the coast and about equal distance from a river. Not the best place to be in a tsunami but at least not right on the coastline.

[matsuki]

Worst ride home ever, borrowed a mamachari and pedaled my way home through traffic. My big screen is safe but my SLR seems to have met an early demise along with two of my external HD's.....all that porn gone to waste!:cry:

He's no dummy. Probably made tracks for the hills as soon as there was a pause in the shaking.

Hope he's okay. But by the looks of it alot of the damage up Sendai way is quake related as almost no structure can be built to withstand a 8.9. even if it occurs 100 km away.

[Jack]

Jack is in Canada. Wishing everyone in Japan well.

The whole family is watching the news. Very sad.

[Takechanpoo]

In the coastal area of Sendai city, 200~300 dead bodies were found.

[Mike Oxlong]

Police say 200-300 bodies found at coastal area of Sendai. Ah, I see that Take's still being moderated, and already posted that. Official death toll 71 93 now, but this sad news will soon bump that number way up.

Single like in zee good all days... pyjama party time... can come ? I'll rent an horror movie on the way...

From the looks of the JMA site there were multiple quakes over a ~3 minute period starting at 14:48. The area where I think 'hammer lives was 6- to 6+ on the Japanese scale for the duration. Not quite the full-on 7 that a few areas got but still very, very strong quakes. Certainly hope that we hear from him soon and that he came through without injury.

[sublight]

Finally made it home on foot after a 10k walk from Tsukiji. The sidewalks were absolutely packed with people walking home, but we were still moving faster than the cars.

Somehow, my wife lucked out and managed to snag a taxi just after the quake to pick up our kid from school, so everyone's home safe.

[Ketou]

Man some of that tsunami footage is full on..
Glad to hear the FG safe reports so far..
