Yeah Fox, and brand new cars lined up to come overseas almost set up like dominoes, and burned out to boot.
Saw a reporter remote from one of the flooded-out towns. He was in the town's hospital, which was fairly near the ocean. Only the top floor of the 5 floor hospital was intact. And it had dead bodies laying in the hallways - lots of them covered and lined up.
Geeze....just think of the devastation there. How would we handle something like this? Millions....that's MILLIONS....have no home, clothes, food, water, heat, electric.....no where to go to get warm and many have kids. It's hard to even imagine.
I heard a reminder item on the news that said it hit during the wee hours of the morning with a smaller 7 Richter-scale shakeup, and then the big one later at 9 Richter. The 30 foot tsunami came within minutes. Then, I heard that the Japanese government is thinking about building a protection barrier/wall. Leave it to politicians. After watching the way those big ships got tossed onto land, the wall wouldn't last unless it was 30 feet THICK and 15 feet high, and 20 feet deep! That's enough to sink the 200 mile coast line. Entire towns destroyed. The Armageddon theorists must be happy. Its just Mother Earth shakin' her Booty, and people got in the way. Unavoidable. Should make politicians a little more humble, when announcing indestructible projects, IMHO. You have to admire the Japanese people. One million caught in their highspeed public transit trains and subways for hours and not one crime or death or panic escape. May God help them recover quickly.
Some say the end starts with 5 great earthquakes. I think the count is 4 now. It is very sad and the power unleashed is unimaginable. The entire country moved east 8 feet. The flight to Narita is less than 14 hours now. I'm totally amazed and sorry for the 10s of thousands of families devastated.
The Japanese people have the power, courage and the resolve to pick themselves up and rebuild. With international help of course. Still to be seen as of Tuesday AM is the resolution of the nuclear powerplant crisis. FOX news reports they are asking for military water drops over the sites.
