More than 9,500 people unaccounted for in Minamisanriku, Japan, Kyodo News Agency reports.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
that is wild...anyone in Sendai who is still alive can attribute it to a miracle.
Yes.
Cheers!
Do you have a reference on that? I have been trying to look it up without much luck...
I think this might be a lot worse than now reported. A lot.
5 minutes, after having been through that massive shake. If you are not just trying to survive, how the heck can you have time to make an evacuation plan.
Even without packing you would hardly get out of the driveway.
Wonder about this train and it’s passengers.
TRAIN CARS THROWN, CRUSHED BY TSUNAMI

Prayers for everyone in Japan. God, please, comfort Japan and her people. Please wave Your Hand, God, and limit the loss. Heal those injured, please, and give strength to the families of the victims. In Jesus Holy name, I pray. Amen.
“A casual reference to Atlantis clearly doesn’t “reduce” it.”
How about a poster claiming the entire city was lifted into the air and thousands are missing?
Saw that on another thread.
So... a city is flooded.
The husband and wife are at work.
Their three kids are at school and get separated.
Each go to disaster recovery centers and each report everybody in their family, of course, is missing because they don’t know where the other members are.
The disaster recovery centers report individual totals and this single family of five results in reporting that TWENTY people are missing...
THIS is why initial missing person reports are often highly exagerated numbers.
Not if they tie old tires around the edge of Japan, it won't.
It's called liquefaction. Read all about it here.
Could a land mass that large simply break apart and completely sink?
No.
I would love an ignore button. I would kiss it and hug it and keep it well fed. It would save the mods a lot of work too.
Days? No. Truthfully, everyone expected Katrina to go into FL - the models were taking it hundreds of miles from where it actually hit. Residents of LA and MS didn’t know until it was past the time for a safe evacuation. So in addition to the people who couldn’t leave and the ones who refused to leave, there were also many people who stayed home because they felt it was unsafe to leave.
[Everything we are and have is temporary and can be snuffed out in seconds. “What is man that Thou art mindful of him?” Psalm 8:4. Psalm 107 answers with the refrain:”Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Only the grace and love of God preserves our lives every day. He is Lord of all.]
Men should indeed praise the Lord God OF Israel and His sons Jesus Christ so we could lead quiet and peacable lives. Methinks the left hates God and plans to create a godless bloody secular humanist world.
God, the God of Israel, will not share His glory with another. Especially flesh and blood.
99.99% of Japan had no damage or flooding. Keep it in perspective.
I am a voice of reason.
Japanese buildings are built to take earthquakes, even big ones.
A thirty-foot-high wall of water moving at freight-train speeds is a whole different story. That's a hell of a lot of kinetic energy.
Give it a rest, o holy “grammer” warrior. The poster admitted that he didn’t word it very well (and he didn’t say it “was lifted into the air”).
