    Go FCUK yourself, who do you think you are? Japan is probably the best prepared country in the world for dealing with an earthquake or Tsunami and all sorts of loolahs are on here predicting the end of the world and you're telling me not to post again? I'll say it again just in case you missed it the first time,

    Will be interesting to see the comparison with aid and assistance given with that given to Haiti or the SE Asian areas after the tsunami there. As Japan is a massive producer of tech and electronics that so much of the world depends on, as well as being a first world country I can see the world response being multiples of the others.

    Shock is enough, seen cars drive right into it ~ not that they could have escaped anyway and seen cars drive off road and get engulfed ...

    A lot of the earlier footage has been pulled from the networks because it was truely shocking to view. One showed a line of buses,cars and trucks trying to outrun the wave on a highway only to be swept away. There must have been 50-60 different vehicles in that one shot of footage alone. I'm getting very worried about the nuclear reactor now. This is'nt going to end well if they are evacuating people from the citys around the site. Not good folks.

    The water level at the nuclear plant is said to be lowering,. Experts are worried, but they say that a Chernobyl type accident wont happen.

    I saw that footage earlier on Sky News, it was horrific. Within 10 mins of showing it first it was edited to take out the traffic being hit. Shocking news to wake up to.

    Wow,The last time something like this occurred in Chernobyl The Government in The Irish Republic ordered its people to stay indoors!

    So if this nuclear plant was to leak/explode would we be in danger of a nuclear fall?

    Alternating currents usually, sink-holes. Sink hole is not likely in this case. It is 'just' the force of the wave meeting resistance and trying to go elsewhere and forming a whirlpool.

    whilst this is a big event, smaller one form at every ebb and flow in every harbour in the world, some more powerful than others.

    Thanks gbee, it looked like something from a disaster film!

    Less likely, but it would depend on the actual event and how it was handled. Chernobyl was spilling radiation for nearly a week before we knew.
