can you imagine the panic that must be happening in the countries where the tsunami is heading

antran · 11 Mar 2011 at 11:57

Watching it on bbc news at the moment, everything look so bad right now. : (

People usually have one of those masks handy as you are expected to wear it if you have a cold, to avoid spreading germs.

holy crap the rate at which the water rises up against the bridge is insane!

tsunami has hit Wake Island.....only 8 foot high.....thats a relief

Liquid_Entity · 11 Mar 2011 at 12:01

8 foot !! That would still swallow up hundreds of smaller islands in the Pacific !

LOAM · 11 Mar 2011 at 12:01

Considering a 1x1x1m cube of water weighs a tonne I imagine it won't be there much longer

TommyV · 11 Mar 2011 at 12:03

The world is ending I swear :S

Wow, looking at the Sendai footage I am amazed at the power and destruction, the wall of water just keeps on going.

At first I thought it wouldn't be that bad but everything gets picked up and destroyed without looking like the wave will slow down.

If that nuclear reactor isn't sorted soon I think the Tsunami will be the least of their concerns.

Third largest exporting nation effected in such a short time.

expect another world economy crash as Japan sells of foreign assets to pay for all of this...

OriginalJonty · 11 Mar 2011 at 12:08

Taiwan and New Zealand have lifted their tsunami warnings. That's a bit of relief.

2012 is going to happen

Kerplunk · 11 Mar 2011 at 12:10

My mate was cacking himself, he's in NZ.

I really hope that there is no serious problems with the Nuclear power plants for the sakes of the Japanese people and for our future plans for nuclear.

It's been clawing back assets from overseas to strengthen currency for a while, probably be doing more of the same to be fair.

Saw just now on BBC a little fishing boat trying to negotiate the tsunami......... unbelievable what some people are going through right now
