Massive quake in Japan - 8.9
It is almost unbelievable that the above tsunami is moving at near the speed of sound.
It is reported that 200 and 300 bodies have been found on a beach in Sendai alone. I see that the giant Alaska quake (over 9) killed only 3 but the tsunami following killed over 100.
It seems the tsunami has been the killer with over 1000 predicted dead. I have just seen the PM saying our team of 48 USAR (Urban Search And Rescue) are on there way with 6 already gone. How ironic that the Japanese rushed 70 to assist us and they now have to return to their own tragedy and we in turn now have to try and assist them.We watch as the death toll continues to climb as Japan recovers from the most powerful quake in its recorded history and the towering tsunami that followed.

A real worry is that they have many nuclear power plants and some are causing worries - so much so that they have shutdown 11 plants that have left 4 million people without power, and many airports and transit systems remain closed.
