It is six minutes long, and I recommend watching it all with no fast forward. Mind blowing.

that is just amazing. in five minutes, the water had reached the top of the buildings. the whole time I was thinking "what are you still standing there for? I think those cars floating towards you is a cue to GET OUT! ...I think those buildings floating away is a cue to GET OUT!"
I'm very sad about what the people of Japan have been through, and the long road ahead of them.
I wish I could do something, I really do. I hate this idea of just throwing money at a problem and hoping it goes away. but there's nothing else I can do...is there?

I can't tell you how many times already I have seen totally inaccurate reports from western media about what has happened here. Don't trust all you see in the western media. And that goes for some of the major ones like CNN and BBC. I have seen just today them reporting totally wrong data on a supposed earthquake in Nagano which never actually happened. I'd be trusting more what you hear in the media here than I would from most of these foreign news outlets many of which base their stories on little more than speculation and love nothing more than to sensationalise everything to increase their sales.

I thought a couple of people here felt Nagano shake on Friday. the information I'm looking at - which comes from the
USGS government website - show a 6.2 and a 5.5 aftershock there on Friday.
or is this a new one they're talking about?
