Massive earthquake in Japan
RayB:
It's really unfair to criticise a nation that has the best engineered quake-proof construction on the planet. The problem here is no one ever expected anything of this magnitude. If you think about the last major quake in California, it was a mere 5.7. Japan has had dozens over 5.0 in the last couple days, with that first one being 8.8! Remember, on the Richter scale, an increase of 1.0 is TEN times greater.
Also worth learning is that japan sits on the meeting point of 4 seperate tectonic plates.
I'm gonna bail out of this thread before I read any more stupid comments.

It is getting very gloomy, and there is a possible 7.0 quake going to happen soon.
I hear that the fallout from the reactors will flow south towards Tokyo.....

That may very well be the most insensitive comment that I have ever read. Considering the likes of some posters around here, you far surpass them for being a complete and utter dolt.

Considering the US dropped not one but two atomic bombs on Japan, I would say the Japanese would have the most extensive experience to deal with radiation exposure.
Personally, I think the Dolphin and Whale Gods are upset with Japan, and struck them from the underworld.
Insensitive? Yes. I have my reasons. I have given you three so far.
You can attack me for being insensitive if you must.
I hope that the Japanese will have more respect for the planet.

Talk about being repulsed by ones comments. You are complete and utter waste of life, if I wasnt scared of being blocked by Saint, I would have quite a few other choice words to say to you. You are a wretched human being.

The Richter scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale. An increase of 1.0 means it's 10x greater. An increase of 2.0 is 100x, 3.0 -> 1000x, etc.
