If they don't get the threat of melt down under control soon, this will make Hiroshima pale in the amount of death and desivation it caused.

They spent several centuries to build those cities. Earthquake and tsunami swept them away in a few minutes. What a joke! and you know what? we build the cities again

I send prayers to those in JapanI hope the death numbers stay low and Japan will be able to still go strong very soon...I hope the missing are found...

Ironically I just watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I now wonder how much of tha is true right now.

I hope everyone worried about loved ones have their worries put to rest


My Life Sucks- The kids I babysit have drooled, ripped or drawn on all of the cards and put the cars with the little people in the microwave!

I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs!

I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it!

I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them!

But . . .I'll live.

The other non-political just broadcasted the news during normal news hours, and periodic updates when something new came up.

nah nobody can be stronger than mother nature. but we just gotta do what we gotta do. we gotta build new cities and live peacefully. and I'm pretty sure that someday the earthquake and tsunami again will take our new cities away and you'll see all those crying people on CNN. and we build new cities again and again and again....

By the way, I wanna thank everyone all around the world. Many countries are sending rescue teams to Japan. And many of us are having heartwarming messages via twitter, and SNS. We'll never forget that.

Unbelievable. It doesn't seem real somehow. It's like a disaster film. I just can't quite believe it's happening. This is gonna be so hard to rebuild.

Last night they said Taiwan and the Phillipines were fine and I still wasn't quite sure it was over and sure enough it affected Chile and the US.
