You just have to wonder when there was going to be another earthquake after the one in New Zealand, you see one at one end of a fault line then another at the other end, but 8.8 is a huge quake, wouldn't want to live anywhere near that when it hit

It was, but only after the death toll hungry media had replaced their morbid predictions with reality. They love nothing more than a high death toll to report on, I am surprised they don't wheel out a Blue Peter stylee totaliser encouraging it to rise and when it reaches a certain level all cheer.

10m?
Bloody hell.
I was over there exactly 2 years ago - such a fantastic country and wonderful people.
Such a shame
Ironically, after Japan we went straight to Hawaii and I see Kilauea has just erupted again.
Mother nature is a beautiful thing but so very dangerous.

That has sent shivers down my spine watching it on the bbc website.Mother nature seems very angry at the moment doesn't she. Almost as if the 2012 prediction is starting to hold some weight!

Without wishing to sound morbid, but if people could show links to the more accurate reports I would appreciate it.
All I'm seeing are ridiculous foaming mouth type journos

Just saw a quick clip on BBC News and waves coming through and just brushing aside whole buildings
I hope the Subaru plant is not affected, in particular the parts supply!

The problem is that a tsunami is not like your normal wave. What you see on the beach is just the surface of the ocean - a 6' tsunami has the weight of the entire Ocean behind it. It's unstoppable.
A 6' wave could easily cause devastation.
