Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Source:
BBC News - Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
and
Earthquake in northeast Japan raises 13-foot tsunami - Express India
Magnitude of earthquake was around 8.9 !!! News is showing live video feed of Waves sweeping away, heaps of debris being carried out in the farms...
Its just disheartening. Earthquake warnings have been issued to Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and US state of Hawaii!!

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Yep. Everyone tune in to CNN-IBN to watch live (literally) footage of the carnage which is still going on.
Update: The tsunami will hit Hawaii within 2-2.5 hours. Hawaii has been evacuated however.
The 8.9 Richter quake is the 5th largest quake in this century.

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Yeah man... This is INSANE!!!
Never saw the kind of rampage like this ever. The flow of water is carrying along with it the debris of possibly houses, with an astonishing speed ans force! Sometimes looks like its the flow of magma!

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Things are, however, much under control now. There seems to have been no casualties so far. 8.9 on a Richter scale is insanely huge.
EDIT: There has been six casualties so far as reported by the Deccan Herald.

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
BBC seems to suggest that 4 million households are without electricity in Japan now. In a country as advanced as Japan, that must be a nightmare. Hope that casualties are minimal.

Still the Japanese are advanced enough to minimize life loss. If god forbid such a quake occured in India, words cannot describe.

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Yes & in google.co.in they have posted an alert in home page.
"Tsunami Alert for New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, and others. Waves expected over the next few hours, caused by 8.9 earthquake in Japan."

Yeah... totally agree... such evacuations are not possible here. Can't even imagine what havoc could break loose here! Until and unless, some security measures aren't put up in place, and if people don't become vigilant enough.

yes.... even on Google.com
But it will rarely help those, who don't access google search directly. Like I didn't noticed that, since I use search toolbar.

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
 ONE! Google must have helped people, that I couldn't even imagine giving number of.
Its good to know that earthquake resulted in very less casualities. But damage has not been finished. Tsunami is on its way to other Islands. We can just hope for the best.
BTW, @Liverpool_fan: Any idea, why that video is showing uploaded date, of previous day?

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Japan Quake Causes Day To Get Shorter
Quote:
WASHINGTON – You won't notice it, but the day just got a tiny bit shorter because of Friday's giant earthquake off the coast of Japan.
NASA geophysicist Richard Gross calculated that Earth's rotation sped up by 1.6 microseconds. That's because of the shift in Earth's mass caused by the 8.9-magnitude earthquake. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second.
That change in rotation speed is slightly more than the one caused by last year's larger Chile earthquake. But 2004's bigger Sumatra earthquake caused a 6.8-microsecond shortening of the day.
The Japan quake is the fifth strongest since 1900.

It's not possible that with a hit of 8.9 everyone will survive. 1k dead and it will increase, though I highly hope it won't. With such a quake in India? Forget about more dead people, even a big city, like- Delhi or Kolkata will be vanished. India should learn a lesson about Japan's awesome preparation of disaster management.

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Speculation about what would happen if a Tsunami hit India is unnecessary. It would be better if people stick to the topic.
Japan will bounce back from this pretty soon. My condolences to families of victims.

I am sad for the loss of life and the chaos that has occurred in Japan. Whether Indian or not, a life is a life. I don't understand how it is "lucky" if no Indian was harmed and how that is a good thing.
I'd say that luckily the loss of life has not been in millions.

I am not going to debate about my actual sentiments when I wrote that. For that there's whole section devoted called, "Fight Club".
But taking care of your feelings, I have edited my post. Sorry, if it offended anybody.

Re: Tsunami hits north-eastern Japan after massive quake
Radiation has leaked from an Japanese nuclear reactor and authorities say there is a possibility of a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi plant about 250km north of Tokyo.
This is scary. May God give strength to all.

nuclear reactors dont "blast". they just go critical(as in, too many reactions take place, generating extreme heat in >200,000 K {kelvin} range) and all the hot nuclear stuff melts EVERYTHING, including concrete, and releases a load of radiation and radioactive particles(which get carried away by the winds). and the stuff will remain hot for a very long time, and you cannot do anything to stop it, coz it'll continue generating huge amount of heat.
but, if the hot stuff touches water, the water is going to be super-hot and if it finds a weak point in the structure, it will literally blast, that is, it will expand very fast, so, yes, you might get an "exploding" reactor.
