8,.9 Earthquake hit Japan!!!



UPDATE2 (Mar 14):
The nuclear radiation is said to be spreading to even further out. The evacuation warning has been raised from 10km to 300km. It is possible that the radiation may leak to other continent like South America and North America. Another nuclear power plant in Fukushima is in a state of emergency, and it may explode to release more radiation. Radiation evaluation on people are being conducted, and 22 people result in positive and need to be treated in the hospital. Currently, 1,500 people has been announced dead from the disaster. Countries like US and China are sending help for rescue operations. For the US, a Carrier was deploy. For China, a team of rescue team was formed and arrived in Japan. There are reports saying a 7.0 earthquake, and another tsunami with 3m of height will hit japan later.

UPDATE (Mar 12):
The nuclear power plant is leaking radiation, and the prime minister of japan is sending a evacuation notice to the people within 10km of that power plant. The destruction cause the mobile network, and electricity outage to some area of japan. As a result, people in Japan had to wait inline for public phone to tell their family and friends that they are save. One of the thing we should learn from the Japanese is that even under these chaotic event that causes terror and tremor, they're still able to remain in order. The success of this is because of their culture as well as the accumulated earthquake experience that they had. Even though the internet access is available, the speed of it were told to be slow.
