they were saying on the radio that there has never been such a cluster of massive earthquakes across the world like this before, there was also one in china today about 5.5 i think that killed 25 people.

looks surreal

[aidangro]

man, how could people have had time to escape

[rovr4on]

there was also a 7.1 in japan about 3 days ago, but was too deep. small tsunami expected to hit NZ at 5am tomorrow. US and Canada boarders on high alert. I read a stuff article last year saying 2010 one of the most deadliest years in record for natural disasters!!

I wonder whether climate change is playing a part in this, many skeptics think so :shock:

I was also watching three as well when I heard about the massive quake in Japan and I thought f*ck that looks like something out of a very scary film :shock:.When I heard a tsunami is expect to hit NZ I thought I best to avoid going for a ride hear the ocean and I be best to stay inland to be on the safeside.

The earth has always had earthquakes yet because of the sensationalist media now many people are like "oh what does it mean?" "the end of the world?" No. It means the earth is doing what it's always done nothing is out of the ordinary. It's just an unfortunate process for people because we established alot of civilisations right along the edge of the tectonic plates where they converge under an absolutely massive amount of pressure.

Fanatics will read all kinds of shit into the unfortunate events that have happened recently and in turn scare a lot of people

for sure mate, but there has been a very dense amount of mayor earthquakes over the last 24 months, more than likely just a cycle, but is this the last big one for 5 years or is there going to be more, is this the tip of the ice berg or are we just getting going???

Keep safe man

Chur Grover, we all good for now. There have been over 400 confirmed deaths and over 200 people still missing. Unable to call certain places too, as you can imagine how many people will be trying to call those in the affected area.

Where are you at Rookie? I'm currently in Hakuba, just outside Nagano. Meant to be flying out from Tokyo this week but doubt that will happen!
