And as we have in Russia? Our people say in such cases: "Everything will be fine, no danger"- and with these words are sent to certain death ...

i like this check this quoting the 18th century french philosopher Rene' Descartes " With regard to a superior being, i doubted and doubted and doubted until i realized that the only thing i could no longer doubt was that i was doubting. i thence realized that i exist because a superior power exists thus i can not be without"

Hail the Fukushima 50. (or 200)

Gutsy and honorable, for the safety of their families and friends back home. Godspeed, gentlemen.

(Christchurch was said to be 2.2G's of force while the recorded G's in Tokyo were said to be 0.82 if I remember correctly.)

0.82G's in tokyo which is 9times further from the epicenter of the quake than that of christchurch from it's epicenter....


what are the numbers from Sendai? even then they're 80+mi from the epicenter, whilist christchurch was 25mi.


kinda comparing apples and oranges here.
