7.9 and 8.8 Earthquakes in Japan

Is there any description of the orbital alignment other than "just right"?

I got this far and then the lols became uncontrollable

there is a material difference between "I can never forget this because the aftershocks of this social construct still have repercussions on aspects of my daily life" and "I can never forget this because omg Ben Affleck SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ps I'm a racist", I agree

well to be blunt, that's what happens when you allow stupid people access to technology

lest we forget (what the Japanese did to Montgomery Clift)

i'm sure this is a very serious and worthy discussion but

darragh did you know there are stupid ppl on facebook?

sweet jesus.

really enjoying these dudes who were -50 years old when Pearl Harbor happened taking up their fight for America's karmic payback on this.....

Wait that 2012 forum guy accurately predicted there'd be a devastating earthquake/tsunami and got the day right and everything, back in January!? What the hell. Its like that Xenophiel guy who predicted 9/11

oh Leo Phoenix was eerie for sure....I remember that newsgroup fiasco

if you work out how many people are predicting disasters on the internet, and /noofdaysinyear

well the Phoenix guy was actually probably connected to 9/11 in some way, directly or indierctly....so that's not that amazing, easy to predict a plot you're a part of

Darragh yeah that occurred to me but I dunno, I'm sure there arent 295948543 2012 forums all randomly picking dates for something as not-linked as a random 2011 earthquake? Seems odd to me, I duno, maybe its fake

Japan's nuclear safety agency is set to issue an unprecedented order for Tepco to open a valve at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to release pressure, as we reported earlier.

USGS "Earth's axis has shifted 10 inches as a result of the quake. Japan's coastline has permanently shifted 2.4 meters." #craziestshitever

!!!!!!!!!!

Holy hell.

I am pretty fucking worried about the nuclear plants. Especially the one close to Tokyo (where my parents live). Fuck. But y'know I should realize that my parents were fucking lucky. It was kinda weird 'n' funny: I was on skype with'em while they were watching the news/footage for the first time. They didn't realize what exactly had happened. The shock on their faces knowing what they had escaped.

Anyway this has been a very weird fucking day. :-(

that is very difficult to get one's head around

xpost

This thread is o_O followed by O_O

Technicians at the Fukushima Daiichi plant are set to release vapour from the unit in question to lower the pressure and prevent a meltdown.

This carries a risk that a small amount of radioactive material could leak, officials say.

When they release comments like this, it probably already happening but a lot worse.

Reports also said that cooling systems had also failed in three reactors at a second nuclear power plant, Fukushima Daini, 11km (7 miles) south of Daiichi.

not good!

i experienced an earthquake once. it was freaky. and it was smaller than every single one of those aftershocks jesus

William Gibson retweeted this link...unpacks the nuclear reactor stuff in a fairly technical manner, which I don't entirely follow...but leaves me at least with a *slightly* better feeling that there's a lot that has to go wrong before the worst can happen

xpost been in a few, was okay. one time i thought my husband was rocking the couch to annoy me. i returned to my afternoon nap. lol

xp yeah but I feel like we're just reassuring ourselves about the official version of events while there is a much worse reality.

btw quakes scare the shit out of me. but the ones i been in were pretty minor.

VG; thanks for posting. now i can get some sleep.

Mr Veg was in the '89 Loma Prieta, and a few others I think.
I've only been in a couple of smallish ones, both in '99. One in Narita, Japan which feels weird now...woke up in my hotel on the 25th floor in the middle of the night and noticed the building was swaying, half-asleep I told myself 'must be the wind' and went back to sleep...turned on the news in the morning and was O_O!!!; then one in Vegas a few weeks later - Mr Veg woke me up almost excited-like, I srsly shat myself when he told me it was an earthquake. Saw the canopy over the old Vegas strip get a real big sway on.

Mr Veg kinda has a badge of honor thing about quakes, whereas I just am shit-terrified of them, the idea of them, pretty much everything about them.
