HoarfrostHubb Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I bet the earth is rotating faster too. Well, the Chilean one shortened it by a millionth of a second or something. This was a bigger, longer quake, too. Tilt affected, too maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott747 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Really hoping that's a typo on Kyodo. http://english.kyodonews.jp/ BREAKING NEWS: Radiation 1,000 times higher than normal detected at nuke plant: safety panel Well you have 8x at the gate and 1000x around the control room. At this point it doesn't appear to be catastrophic and the larger evacuation was a necessary precaution. From what I gather is that they are using the 2nd backup stage of the cooling process and still have the 3rd backup if needed with the generators on the way from the US.

OSUmetstud Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well, the Chilean one shortened it by a millionth of a second or something. This was a bigger, longer quake, too. Tilt affected, too maybe? it's minute whatever it is...but still cool in a nerd sense. I think the Indonesian Earthquake lasted almost 5 minutes.

It's pretty blatantly obvious the death toll will be in the tens of thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I am noticing several things on the live shots the water is still very deep.....looks like the water is trapped in the lower areas and not draining out they are showing scores of homes that look like they have been hit by an F4/F5 tornado some with only foundations left several large fires still burning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CooL Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't even know how to post this... Ok, here goes... Japanese news agency Kyodo reports 88,000 people are missing. http://www.mediaite....le-are-missing/ UPDATE: The post originally quoted from a Kyodo news report that 88,000 people were missing. It is now appearing that the number might be much, much smaller and that that number may have in fact come from a typo or mistranslation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srain Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Multiple reactors are now having cooling problems at the Fukushima plant. I was about to comment on this. It appears they are having issues with rising pressures as well. Not sure which plant, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I posted a link. Please post a link where you're getting this from. I heard that on the news driving home - the guy, who was reporting from LA (from CBS) was saying they were trying to get more information about it because it seemed too high. But they wanted to report it to let people know that there are indeed a lot of people missing, just how much is really unknown. But one has to think, a town of 70K+ is on fire... how many got out safe before the fires spread? How many evacuated in the 15 minutes they had before the tsunami hit? We may never know how many are dead/missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Multiple reactors are now having cooling problems at the Fukushima plant. It's a second plant that is having the problems. The cooling system of 3 of the reactors are malfunctioning. This plant is around 7 miles south of the other plant where pressure is rising.

ArtRosen Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Multiple reactors are now having cooling problems at the Fukushima plant. This is going to be a modern day chernobyl.
